State The lifecycle state.
DescriptionThe hazard description.
OwnerThe hazard owner.
OriginatedThe date the hazard was created on.
OriginatorThe person who created the hazard.
ModifiedThe date the hazard was last modified on.
Current SeverityThe current severity level. Values are 1 through 5.
Initial SeverityThe initial severity level.
Current OccurrenceThe current occurrence level. Values are 1 through 5.
Initial OccurrenceThe initial occurrence level.
Current RPNThe current Risk Priority Number for the hazard. The system calculates the RPN value by multiplying the probability value by the impact value. The probability and impact values can both range from 1 to 5, 1 being the lowest and 5 the highest. Therefore, the RPN can range from 1 (1x1) to 25 (5x5).
Initial RPNThe initial Risk Priority Number for the hazard.
Product The product name for which this hazard has been identified.
Parent Hazards Parent hazards to which this hazard is associated as a related hazard.
TitleThe hazard title.
ProcessThe current process level for the hazard. Levels are Analysis, Evaluation, Reduction, Verification, or Completeness.
