The aim of the book is to show how safety analysis can be applied as a practical tool in occupational safety. The book describe a set of simple mthods that can be used in industry and common workplace. The methods are described step-by-step to show the reader how an analysis is practically done. Examples are given to explain how the methods work, and what type of results can be obtained.rnrn Safety analysis has three main elements; identification of hazards, assessments of the risk that arise, and the generation of measures that can increase the level of safety. A number of simple methods are described, such as Deviation Analysis, Energy Analysis and Job Safety Analysis, which address the situation at common workplace. For other application, more technically oriented methods are described like Fault Tree Analysis, Even Tree Analysis, and HAZOP.rn
