Annex I: Methods & Tools prepared by some members of the ICH Q9 EWG for example only; not an official policy/guidance July 2006, slide 2 ICH Q9 QUALITY RISK MANAGEMENT I.7: Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) (ISO14971)  Analysis based on applying prior experience or knowledge of a hazard or failure to identify future hazards, hazardous situations and events that can cause harm  In estimating their probability of occurrence for a given activity, facility, product or system How to perform?  Identification of the possibilities that the risk event happens  Qualitative evaluation of the extent of possible injury or damage to health that could result  Identification of possible remedial measures ICH Q9
