Line managers and supervisors often play key roles in generating hazards, both physical and psychosocial, so there is a need for their more active participation, along with OHS personnel and workers themselves, in routine risk assessment and control procedures.
Fragility curves giving the conditional probability of exceeding various performance levels are then integrated with generated hazard curves defining the expected seismic hazard in a specific zone.
Since the creation of improved gadgets, with the advances in computer technologies, geographic information systems (GIS) are now being used to generate hazard maps.
Finally, hazard thresholds such as maximum distance from source, maximum ash load value at source and minimum sum of ash load needed to generate hazard curves or histograms can be set here by the user.
The initial conditions in this study only consider a limited range of initial volumes and solid volume fractions, with all other inputs fixed, which means the generated hazard maps only represent a subset of the possible parameter space.
Like, PSHA the PVAHA results can be post-processed using VAPAH to generate hazard curves for annual probability of exceedance at sites of interest (or all sites), maps for maximum expected ash hazard at timeframes of interest and histograms which disaggregate the hazard (e.g. location, magnitude, source etc).

We used Cox regression analysis to generate hazard ratios for risk of BV acquisition.
The regression models generated hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs.
