Following an accident caused by a failure that the relevant risk assessment failed to identify, we are currently looking at using FMEA for machinery risk assessments. However, we are getting bogged down in the detail, and tend to be identifying process failures that would not necessarily have any H&S implications.
Does anyone have any experience they could share of the use of FMEA in risk assessment?
Many thanks,
Joanne

The use of this tool will by its nature throw forward failures that you may need to discard as not being HS or E relevant. Remember it is a tool for control of the system not simply a specific part of the system.
You will in analysing the failures identify those that you personally need to attend to and also those which need to be passed to others to manage. Use it as an exercise that also demonstrates the value of risk assessment as part of a management control system.
I do not know your processes in any detail so cannot comment or give some precise pointers.
