Abstract

An analytical approach to accident control is presented and said to be applicable to many types of production operations, particularly those involving delicate and easily damaged end-item hardware. Elements of the analytical approach are defining project goals and priorities, identifying acceptable levels of risk, conducting accident modes and effects analyses, synthesizing hazards and hazard areas, and making objective decisions based upon quantitative data. Techniques for analyzing hazard areas in production operations are included.
