SUMMARY

This has been achieved by:- (i) Performing a comprehensive literature review of hazard identification techniques and summarising in a document. (ii) Reviewing the relative strengths and shortcomings of current hazard identification techniques with a view to providing advice to CHID and identifying where further advice is required.
