This paper discusses the various
safety analysis techniques employed by the companies and other research institutions world wide to testify the security and to minimize the risk factor involved in the use of their products. The paper begins by defining safety hazards and then lists common safety analysis techniques. The writer then discusses some of these techniques including Preliminary
hazard Analysis (PHA); Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA). It concludes with examining the
factors which affect the
length of safety analysis.
