Risk Analysis Methods (Severity)

Method Description

Method	Description
HAZARD-Diamond	The hazard diamond is used to identify and analyze the different risks associated with hazard sources. The hazard diamond or the so-called fire diamond is defined in the NFPA (704) which is the Standard System for the Identification of the Hazards of Materials for Emergency Response. The four divisions of the diamond are color-coded to represent flammability (red), health hazard (blue), chemical reactivity (yellow) and special hazards (white).The Hazard diamond is normally used to identify the risk associated with hazardous materials and dangerous goods.
Monte Carlo Simulation	The Monte Carlo simulation is one of the stochastic simulation methods in which random numbers are used within certain ranges for the calculation of the scenarios. To estimate risks or decisions under uncertainty, stochastic and dynamic methods are almost exclusively used today. With the help of Monte Carlo simulation, the impact of different decisions and their probability of occurrence can be estimated using synthetic data. It is a calculation method to simulate extreme cases, but also to secure everyday decisions. This makes it usable for a wide variety of industries.
