A2.C.5.6. RESOURCES. Your supporting safety office is the best source of information regarding fault<br />
tree analysis. Like the other more advanced tools, using the FTA will normally involve the consultation of<br />
a safety professional or engineer trained in the use of the tool. If the probabilistic aspects are added, it will<br />
also require a relatively sophisticated database capable of supplying the detailed data needed.<br />
A2.C.5.7. COMMENTS. The FTA is one of the few hazard ID procedures that will support<br />
quantification when the necessary data resources are available.<br />
A2.C.5.8. EXAMPLE. A basic example of the FTA is provided at Figure A2.40. Please note the example<br />
is not fully developed as it is intended as a brief example of the tool. It illustrates how an event may be<br />
traced to specific causes that can be very precisely identified at the lowest levels.<br />
