Nice explanation,thanks!. What is the main differences with a safety matrix ?

Hi Fabian, safety matrix like the ones used in HAZOp links likehood with severity. The intersection between them permits the user to evaluate the level of risk. Cause and effect matrix in the other hand, links actions trigged by an specific cause. In summary, C&E matrix is for action evaluation, while Safety matrix is for risk evaluation. 😇
