Hazard identification, risk assessment and control measures introduction Hazard identification (HAZID) and risk assessment involves a critical sequence of information gathering and the application of a decision-making process. These assist in discovering what could possibly cause a major accident (hazard identification), how likely it is that a major accident would occur and the potential consequences (risk assessment) and what options there are for preventing and mitigating a major accident (control measures). These activities should also assist in improving operations and productivity and reduce the occurrence of incidents and near misses. There are many different techniques for carrying out hazard identification and risk assessment at an MHF. The techniques vary in complexity and should match the circumstances of the MHF. Collaboration between management and staff is fundamental to achieving effective and efficient hazard identification and risk assessment processes.
