ABSTRACT
A hazard (HZ) is any situation that could cause harm to the system or lives. HZ depends on the system and its environment, and the probability of the HZ to cause harm is known as risk. This chapter demonstrates a modular and extensible way to specify rules for checks locally at the stake-holder side, as well as while combining data from various parties to form the Hazard Log (HL). The HZ-LOG automatization tool simplifies the process of HZ data collection on large projects to form the HL, while ensuring data consistency and correctness. IBM DOORS is one of the popular tool used for HZ management in mission critical applications. The database consists of a collection of HZ records and a collection of the mitigation action records related to the identified HZs. The use of automatic checks paves the way for correct tracking of risk and HZ analysis activities for large critical projects.
