TABLE OF CONTENTS The identification of areas of vulnerability and of specific hazards is of fundamental importance in loss prevention. Once these have been identified, the battle is more than half won. Such identification is not a simple matter, however. In many ways, it has become more difficult as the depth of technology has increased. Loss prevention tends, increasingly, to depend on the management system and it is not always easy to discover the weaknesses in this. The physical hazards also no longer lie on the surface, accessible to simple visual inspection. On the other hand, there is now available a whole battery of hazard identification methods which may be used to solve these problems. Selected references on hazard identification are given in Table 8.1.
