ABSTRACT
Although the problem of safety has been around for a very long time, the development of safety analysis methods is relatively new. Some of these methods were specifically developed for application in safety area and the others for application in different areas. Some examples of these methods are failure modes and effect analysis (FMEA), Markov method, cause and effect diagram, and quality control charts. FMEA and the Markov method were developed for application in reliability areas and the cause and effect diagram and quality control charts for use in quality control work. Nonetheless, the main objective of all these safety analysis methods is to prevent the occurrence of accidents and hazards.
