What is the term for the complete evaluation of a mission or task to identify all potential hazards?

The term that encompasses the complete evaluation of a mission or task to identify all potential hazards is referred to as Preliminary Hazard Analysis. This process involves systematically examining each aspect of the operation to uncover and assess risks that could impact safety and mission success.

Preliminary Hazard Analysis includes identifying potential hazards, determining their associated risks, and evaluating the effectiveness of existing controls or mitigation measures. This thorough assessment provides a foundation for implementing risk management strategies to minimize or eliminate those hazards, ensuring a safer operational environment.

Operational Analysis pertains more to the evaluation of the overall effectiveness and efficiency of operations, rather than specifically focusing on hazard identification. Residual Risk refers to the level of risk remaining after controls have been implemented, which is not the same as identifying potential hazards. Resource Management deals with the allocation and utilization of resources, which indirectly relates to safety but does not involve the direct evaluation of hazards in a mission or task context.
