Section 1 - Approaches to comparing and classifying hazard covers risk, risk/benefit, and multiple characteristic risk comparisons and hazard perception. Section 2 - Measures of hazardousness covers hazard structure, descriptors, selection and scoring. Section 3 - Hazard classification deals with energy versus materials hazards, reducing the numbers of dimensions, seven-class taxonomy of extremes, and alternative factor analyses. Sections 4 and 5 compare perceptions and technologies, deals with hazards of the week and applies a case for txiage to hazard management .550.

This paper establishes a framework for conceptualizing technological threats, provides a brief review of comparative work, and presents a classification scheme with suggested application. Section 1 - Approaches to comparing and classifying hazard covers risk, risk/benefit, and multiple characteristic risk comparisons and hazard perception. Section 2 - Measures of hazardousness covers hazard structure, descriptors, selection and scoring. Section 3 - Hazard classification deals with energy versus materials hazards, reducing the numbers of dimensions, seven-class taxonomy of extremes, and alternative factor analyses. Sections 4 and 5 compare perceptions and technologies, deals with hazards of the week and applies a case for txiage to hazard management .550.
