Event Tree - Analytical Tool

Analytical Tool

Event tree analysis is a logical evaluative process which works by tracing forward in time or forwards through a causal chain to model risk. It does not require the premise of a known hazard. An event tree is a inductive investigatory process.

In contrast, the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) evaluates risk by tracing backwards in time or backwards through a cause chain. The analysis takes as a premise a given hazard. FTA is a deductive investigatory process.

    I have seen too much not to know that the impression of a woman may be more valuable than the conclusion of an analytical reasoner.

    A broken altar, Lord, thy servant rears,
    Made of a heart, and cemented with tears:
    Whose parts are as thy hand did frame;
    No workman’s tool hath touched the same.
