Identify & enter in column one, three significant steps which have
different hazards associated with them
Identify & enter in column two one hazard for each step

A Threat Barrier
is a control designed to prevent a threat from
releasing a hazard thus causing an incident
A threat barrier must directly address a threat
in order to control a hazard
An Escalation Barrier
is a control designed to prevent an unwanted
event from escalating into a more severe
consequence

can often be considered as stored energy

A threat
is the means by which a hazard may be
released and must be controlled to prevent
an unwanted event
Controls must be implemented consistently
