Good afternoon,
Just a general question regarding risk analysis and FTA:
In establishing a top-down approach to perform risk analysis, at what level of details do you decide to stop with your anaylsis?
In my case the top event for our FTA would be an hazardous situation (E.g. Patient is treated with innacurate instrument) and we would use this hazardous situation together with FTA to identify the sequence of events that could lead to the situation occurring. We would then decide to apply measures to the basic events in the FTA, changing so the probability of occurence of that hazardous situation.
We might end up with very complex trees, and with risk control measures that might be on different levels of such FTA trees. How would you handle this and is there a best practice for documentation?
Any suggestion and help is much appreciated!
Thanks
