The Continuous Hazard Tracking and Failure Prediction Methodology (CHTFPM) is a proactive methodology for gathering and analyzing information about a system in order to prevent accidents and system failures. The proactivity of the CHTFPM places it in contrast to conventional formal inductive and deductive hazard-analysis methodologies, which are limited in their effectiveness, in that they do not provide realtime information on whether the conditions in a system are becoming hazardous and could lead to a system malfunction: the conventional methodologies basically provide feedback on hazards after accidents have happened. The CHTFPM could be applied to advantage in almost all industries.
