HAZARDS AND RISK ANALYSIS
Parsons conducts site-specific risk analyses to identify potential hazards. Our risk analysis teams consist of scientists, engineers, statisticians, mathematicians, and regulatory experts from our worldwide pool. Parsons successfully performed risk analyses for projects throughout the U.S. and abroad ranging from the Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program to commercial oil companies completing environmental assessments and structural and water system vulnerability assessments.
Typical risk analysis procedures include:
- System Safety Program Plan - identify hazards of system and impose design requirements and management controls to prevent mishaps
- Preliminary Hazard Analysis - ensure that potentially hazardous system failures are identified and corrective design changes are recommended
- System Hazard Analysis - identify hazards and assess the associated risk
- Operating and Support Hazard Analysis - evaluate personnel interface
- Safety Compliance Assessment - determine if previously identified hazard analysis and safety findings have been remediated
- Fire Hazards Analyses - evaluate fire hazards, fire protection systems and features, life safety features, and fire loss history of facility
We use various methods of analysis, including qualitative and quantitative, actuarial and derived modeling; inductive and deductive reasoning; qualitative analysis techniques such as Failure Mode and Effect Analysis or Hazard and Operability analysis; and quantitative analysis techniques such as fault tree and event tree analysis.
Our experience includes performing risk analyses under a variety of federal and state regulations including:
- Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
- Toxic Substance Control Act
- Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
- Risk-based corrective actions under American Society for Testing and Materials
- Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
- Department of Energy Orders 5480.1B and 5480
- National Fire Protection Association Codes, Uniform Building Code, and specific DOE orders for fire protection
- NFPA 101
- HR 3448
- American Water Works Association Research Foundation
- SANDIA National Laboratories and Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for vulnerability assessments
