Link an Asset to a Cause or a Safeguard

You can link only one asset (one Equipment and one Functional Location) to a Cause or a Safeguard. If an asset is already linked to the Cause or the Safeguard and you link another asset, only the latter one is linked to the Cause or the Safeguard.

Hint: You can link an asset to a Cause or a Safeguard only if the corresponding Hazards Analysis is in the Planning state.

Steps

Access the Cause or the Safeguard that you want to link to an Asset.

The datasheet for the selected Cause or Safeguard appears. The following image shows the datasheet for a Cause.
If you want to link an Equipment, follow these steps:
1. On the datasheet, in the Equipment ID box, select .
  
  The Asset Finder window appears.
2. Navigate to the Equipment that you want to link to the Cause or Safeguard, and then select next to the Equipment ID.
  
  In the right pane of the Asset Finder window, the selected Equipment appears.
3. Select Done.
  
  The Equipment is linked to the Cause or the Safeguard.
  
  Note: When you link an Equipment to the Cause or Safeguard, the Functional Location to which the Equipment belongs is automatically linked to the Cause or Safeguard, and appears in the Functional Location ID box on the datasheet.
If you want to link a Functional Location, follow these steps:
1. In the Functional Location ID box on the datasheet, select .
  
  The Asset Finder window appears.
2. Navigate to the Functional Location that you want to link to the Cause or Safeguard, and then select next to the Functional Location ID.
  
  In the right pane of the Asset Finder window, the selected Functional Location appears.
3. Select Done.
  
  The Functional Location is linked to the Cause or the Safeguard.

Results

The asset that you have linked to the Cause or the Safeguard is also linked to the corresponding System/Node and the Hazards Analysis, and thus added to the Asset Group created for the System/Node.
