GENERIC HAZARD CHECKLIST

This generic hazard checklist can be used to help identify hazards and hazard sources. Some of the hazards are unique to certain hazard scenarios, others are common cause factors that will cross all subsystem boundaries. Many of the hazards are repeated in different categories. As can be seen, the generic hazard checklist has many of the same entries as the energy source checklist. That is because energy sources make up the vast majority of hazards. Note: As for all checklists, it is impossible to be all-inclusive. This list should be viewed as a starting point. As you gain more experience, you may wish to add to this list and keep it for future reference.
