Hydrogen Safety Developing a safe process to harvest or utilize hydrogen is much like developing any other safe process involving chemical hazards:

1. Identify Potential Hazards (via HAZOP, FMEA, or other tools) 2. Evaluate the Hazard Risk Level in Terms of Likelihood and Severity 3. Identify Preventative, Mitigative, or Elimination Techniques 4. Document the Findings, Employ the Techniques, and Train Personnel

5. Ensure Safety Systems and Facility Meet Relevant Regulations, Codes, and Standards 6. Periodically Review System and Monitor for Changes, and Repeat Process if Change Occurs
