''Barrier Analysis'' was written to support the total MORT Program. It is a reminder to the system safety person or the accident investigator that there are three factors to be considered, when evaluating an accident or a potential accident situation. Those three factors are (1) the energy or environmental condition present, (2) the target, the person or object of value, and (3) the barrier and control, those things that are in place or should be in place to keep the energy and the targets apart. These three factors and their relationships to the MORT chart are discussed.
