A Threat Barrier





is a control designed to prevent a threat from

releasing a hazard thus causing an incident



A threat barrier must directly address a threat

in order to control a hazard

An Escalation Barrier





is a control designed to prevent an unwanted

event from escalating into a more severe

consequence

Summary

A hazard



has the potential to cause harm, ill health

or injury, or damage to property, plant or

the environment



can often be considered as stored energy

A threat



is the means by which a hazard may be

released and must be controlled to prevent

an unwanted event

Controls must be implemented consistently

with the Hierarchy of Control
