also include the firing if the firearm such as at a firing range. The unloading involves the removal of the ammunition and carriage to safe storage. To assess the risk
there are a number of tools that can be used. HAZOP is short for HAZard and OPerability study. This can be used
to identify and work around different factors, but may also indicate the clash between safety and environmental factors and how problems can occur. A team is put together with experts
from a range of disciplines that will have knowledge of some part of the process. The system is then one which is similar to guided brainstorming. The leader of the
group will make use of key words (nodes), on which any deviations from the given values will be considered for the impact that the deviation will have. To have these
the members of the team will need to understand the process as it has been described and the normal parameters within which it is meant to operate when it is
operating normally. Terms used to explore the potential differences in the plan and the potential results will be key works that can act as a catalyst for discussion. There are
a number of deviations we can look at for this. To look at this we can consider the different stages ands the potential deviations and guidewords that can be used
to identify potential risk and assess the level of risk. * Storage of ammunition * Route from storage location to loading location * Risk of ammunition being dropped.
* Construction of storage cases * Level of training given to the staff and the supervisors * Level of supervision given at the loading, use and unloading of the firearms.
