In the identification process are identified:
the range of dangers
the probability of their manifestation,
spatial localization (coordinates),
possible damage and other parameters required for solving specific tasks.
Methods for the detection of hazards:
engineering. Identify hazards which have a probabilistic nature of origin.
expert. It is aimed at finding failures. This creates a special expert group composed of different experts, giving the conclusion.
sociological method. Is used to determine the hazards by study of public opinion (social group). Is formed by surveys.
registration. Is to use the information on counting specific events, costs of any resources, the number of victims.
organoleptic. If organoleptic method, use the information received by human senses (eyesight, touch, smell, taste, etc.). Examples of application - external visual inspection of equipment, products, determination on hearing (for the monotony of sound) - definition of operation of the engine, etc.
