ABSTRACT

Our task in the FLHYSAFE project is to analyse risks for a fuel cell system in the early stages of development. From the perspective of a distributed project like FLHYSAFE, challenges identified for example by [Da99] only partially cover our experience. This paper aims to look at the different aspects and specificities of hazard identification in a distributed project. The focus will be on the early development phases, the process and the methods for hazard identification. Using the example of the Emergency Power Unit, the results will be presented and discussed. Furthermore, recommendations for pragmatic hazard identification will be given.

Keywords: Functional hazard assessment, Hazard identification process, Collaborative engineering.
