Why is it important?
The most critical causes are not obvious when looking at PHA documentation and it is difficult to communicate risks to front-line personnel following a PHA. Risk Alive takes a scientific approach to identifying these items and ranking them in order from most to least critical and presents the learnings in a shareable way anyone in the organization can understand.
How does it work?
Cause Criticality Before Safeguards, is determined by analyzing all consequences stemming from each cause in a PHA and using the client's risk matrix frequencies and severities to determine criticality of each Cause. The impacts of the cause across various consequence receptors are summed together to reflect the total criticality of of the cause.
Cause Criticality After Safeguards, is determined by factoring in the risk reduction provided by each Safeguard on the cause/consequence pair. The same cause will generally have a much lower criticality after Safeguards as compared to before safeguards due to the risk reducing nature of the safeguards.
Analytics Overview
Critical Top 3 Causes modules showing data from a PHA with multiple risk receptors.
Critical Top 3 Causes includes the actual text from the PHA and the Cause Category provided by Risk Alive.
Risk Category breakdown reflects the specific risk receptors used by the client PHA and each bar shows the impacted risk receptors for each of the top 3 causes.
Risk Contribution of the Top 3 Causes is provided and helps sites understand the importance of just the top 3 causes in their operation. In this example, the top 3 causes contribute approximately a full third of the total risk at the site, making the top 3 causes in this case extremely valuable to understand.
