HAZARDS AND RISK ANALYSIS
Parsons conducts site-specific risk analyses to identify and contain potential hazards. Our risk analysis teams consist of scientists, engineers, statisticians, mathematicians, and regulatory specialist from our worldwide pool of experts. Parsons successfully performs risk analyses for a large variety of projects including chemical demilitarization, radioactive and nuclear waste processing and containment, and hazardous waste management.
Typical risk analysis procedures include:
- System Safety Program Plan—identifies system hazards and imposes design requirements and management controls to prevent mishaps
- Preliminary Hazard Analysis—ensures that potentially hazardous system failures are identified and corrective design changes are recommended
- System Hazard Analysis—identifies potential hazards and assesses the associated risk
- Operating and Support Hazard Analysis—evaluates personnel interface
- Safety Compliance Assessment—determines if previously identified hazard analysis and safety findings have been remediated
- Fire Hazards Analyses—evaluates fire hazards, fire protection systems and features, life safety features, and fire loss history of facility
Parsons uses 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 suchh as:
- 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 5480.5
- National Fire Protection Association Codes
- Uniform Building Code
- Specific DOE orders for fire protection
- Sandia National Laboratories and Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for vulnerability assessments
