“…For this, traditional hazard identification methods could be used such as Checklists or What-if questions. Nevertheless, as originally suggested by Wells et al [23] and adapted by Rasmussen & Whetton [22] the functional breakdown may be analysed for hazardous areas using the method "Concept Hazard Analysis" (CHA). The method may be used in early stages of planning and design of a supply chain and need only block diagrams or preliminary process flow diagrams as input.…”

Building a network of hydrogen refuelling stations is essential to develop the hydrogen economy within transport. Additional, hydrogen is regarded a likely key component to store and convert back excess electrical power to secure future energy supply and to improve the quality of biomass-based fuels. Therefore, future hydrogen supply and distribution chains will have to address several objectives. Such a complexity is a challenge for risk assessment and risk management of these chains because of the increasing interactions. Improved methods are needed to assess the supply chain as a whole. The method of "Functional modelling" is discussed in this paper. It will be shown how it could be a basis for other decision support methods for comprehensive risk and sustainability assessments

A comprehensive qualitative risk assessment (QRA) was conducted at the Maan Nestlé Pure Life factory, encompassing its production, storage, and bottling sections. Through a meticulous review of records, analysis of activities, and examination of work procedures, potential hazards within the factory were identified and subsequently categorized using the risk matrix technique. In total, seventeen hazards were identified, of which seven were deemed high risk, eight medium, and two low. This assessment underscores the imperative for measures aimed at risk control, reduction, or elimination. The QRA's qualitative approach, while effective in broad hazard identification, may have led to an incomplete hazard inventory. Nonetheless, it proved instrumental in pinpointing safety hazards and informing the development of robust safety policies. These policies integrate considerations of human behavior and equipment failure, focusing on preserving product quality while safeguarding the business and its operators. Despite the presence of an unsafe workplace, the study revealed that the need for new infrastructure is non-essential. Instead, a series of modifications are recommended, including the replacement of defective roofs, installation of electrical rolls and lifts, segregation of chemical storage, personnel training, and various ergonomic and procedural adjustments. The study further advocates for a subsequent phase of analysis utilizing quantitative techniques such as fault tree analysis. This is particularly pertinent for hazards requiring specific root cause identification, enabling the determination of necessary safety controls to address these root causes and prevent hazard occurrence.
