The use of preliminary hazard analysis to assess the risk of damage to the telecommunications wired access network

This article presents the results of studies relating to the possibility of the practical use of the preliminary hazard analysis method to assess the risk of damage to the telecommunications copper access network. use of the Pha method allows the identification and evaluation of risk factors; it enables the comparison of the risk of damage to components of the telecommunications copper access network located in different geographical areas. This generates the possibility of the effective application of a comparative analysis (including the service quality) by the operator for different network areas. The method also allows the setting of benchmarks for improving the effectiveness of the technical services of the operator.
