After the introductory material, this manual outlines the 14 steps which make up the hazard analysis. The paper covers choice of representative failures and discusses the different forms which a release can take, all of which should be considered by the analyst. It describes the simplified models for calculating the consequences of a release; these include models for calculating discharge rates, jet dimensions, pool dimensions, dispersion behavior and toxic, flammable or explosive impacts.
