ISO 17776:2016 provides specific guidelines and a structured approach for hazard identification and risk assessment. While its primary application is for major accident hazards in offshore petroleum and natural gas production installations, it details a comprehensive set of tools and techniques (e.g., HAZID, HAZOP, FMECA) that are widely recognized and applied in various industries for these purposes. It serves as a practical guide for implementing the risk assessment component of the broader risk management framework described in ISO 31000.

A. ISO 15776: This standard specifies requirements for personal flotation devices and is unrelated to risk assessment methodologies.

B. ISO 16776: This standard details test methods for determining the effects of daylight on plastics, not hazard identification.

D. ISO 18776: This standard provides rules for the construction and installation of elevators in existing buildings, not risk management.
