Operational Analysis is focused on the identification of as much information as possible about the process and then using this information to prevent or eliminate all events that cause loss of production or represent important economic risks.

• Operational Data Collection - Finding out where the problems lie, prioritizing on the basis of potential or actual cost
  
  
• Hazards and Operability Studies - To develop a preliminary risk profile for a facility processing hazardous materials
  
  
• Human Reliability Assessments - To optimize handling processes for hazardous materials
  
  
• Performance and Safety Monitoring - To identify both real problems and "near misses"
  
  
• Root Cause Analysis and Incident Investigation of Actual and "near miss events" - A broad spectrum of techniques and activities which are applied to ensure that the same problem NEVER occurs more than once. The goal -to eliminate ALL repetitive failures.
  
  
• Operational Assessments - On-site monitoring of operational processes and use of human factors and human reliability engineering techniques to enhance operational processes in ways that are non-threatening to staff. This is particularly important to preventing accidents and important operational failures.
