Examine how critical processes and safeguards can fail
Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) provides a structured way to examine where a process, component or control might fail and what happens next. It can support review of emergency communication, security access workflows, critical utilities, fire-alarm response procedures and other operational systems. The team first defines process boundaries, intended functions and credible failure modes before discussing consequences and existing detection controls.
Raosson facilitates discussion with process owners, engineering and relevant operational personnel. Severity, occurrence and detectability scales, where used, are agreed in advance. A numerical ranking is only a prioritization aid; high-consequence scenarios must not be dismissed simply because their estimated likelihood is low.
