Create a Component

This topic describes how to create the following components of a hazards analysis using a blank datasheet:

• Deviation (in case of a HAZOP Analysis)
• What If (in case of a What If Analysis)
• Cause
• Consequence
• Safeguard

You can also copy a Component.

Hint: You can create a Component only if the corresponding Hazards Analysis is in the Planning state.

Before You Begin

• Create a System/Node.

Steps

1. Access the System/Node for which you want to create a component.

2. Select the Hazards Worksheets tab.

   The Hazards Worksheets section appears, displaying a hierarchical view of the components (Deviations or What Ifs, Causes, Consequences, and Safeguards) associated with the System/Node.

   

3. In the hierarchical level that corresponds to the component that you want to create, select , and then select Create New <type of the component>.

   Where <type of component> can be one of the following values:

   • Deviation (in case of a HAZOP Analysis)
   • What If (in case of a What If Analysis)
   • Cause
   • Consequence
   • Safeguard

   For example, if you want to create a new Deviation, then in the Deviations hierarchical level, select , and then select Create New Deviations.

   A blank datasheet for the type of component appears.

   

4. As needed, enter values in the available fields for Deviation, What If, Cause, Consequence, or Safeguard.

5. In the upper-right corner of the datasheet, select .

   A new component is created and listed in the corresponding hierarchical level. For example, if you have created a new Deviation, it will be listed in the Deviations hierarchical level.

What's Next?

• If you have created a Consequence, then assess the unmitigated risk for the Consequence.

• If you have created a Safeguard, then assess the mitigated risk for the Safeguard.
