• Information — Employee and customer information, computer network configurations and <br /> passwords, ridership, revenue and service statistics, operating and maintenance <br /> procedures, and vehicle identification systems <br /> • Property — Revenue vehicles, non-revenue vehicles, storage facilities, passenger facilities, <br /> maintenance facilities and equipment, administrative offices, computer systems and <br /> communications equipment <br /> Assets are critical when their loss either endangers human life or impacts the OCPT's ability to <br /> maintain service. In reviewing assets, the transportation system has prioritized which among <br /> them has the greatest consequences for the ability of the system to sustain service. These <br /> critical assets may require higher or special protection. <br /> Hazard Identification and Analysis Methodology <br /> Hazard Assessment Matrix <br /> One way to conduct hazard assessments is to use a "Hazard Assessment Matrix". The <br /> Matrix condenses "hazard assessment" into a chart and prioritizes those hazards that are <br /> evaluated. Two hazard severity categories are used to designate the magnitude of the <br /> "worst case" potential effects of the hazard are as follows: <br /> • Category I—Critical <br /> Hazard can result in severe injuries or death to passengers, employees, or others <br /> who encounter the Transportation System and/or cause major property damage. <br /> • Category 11 — Marginal <br /> Hazard can result in minor injury or negligible property damage <br /> After hazards are assessed for their potential severity, they can be examined to determine <br /> the probability that they may lead to an accident. As an increase in knowledge about <br /> safety is established through the course of the System Safety Program, prior accident <br /> information will be factored into the probability analysis if it is appropriate to do so. <br /> A.
