Answer to Question 1

Step 1 is planning. This involves development of the comprehensive safety and health plan described in this chapter. Step 2 (Do) involves implementing the plan so that it becomes an actual functioning program. Step 3 (Check) involves conducting periodic evaluations to determine the effectiveness of the program. Step 4 (Act) involves acting on what is learned from the evaluation in such a way as to strengthen the program.

Answer to Question 2

HAZOPs have the same weaknesses as FMEAsthey do not factor human error into the equation. HAZOPs predict problems associated with system/process failures. However, these are technological failures. Since human error is so often a factor in accidents, this weakness must be addressed.
