I vaguely recall that we should prioritize using specific failure data when available, but if not, general data seems like a safe fallback.

I'm a bit confused about the differences between process hazard analysis and toxic concentration analysis. I feel like both could be relevant in some way.

I remember a practice question where we had to choose between using failure data from different sources. I think option B was mentioned as a valid choice.

I think we discussed using general industry or manufacturer failure data in class, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best option.
