Last modified by J. Repa, 10/29/2002

Below is a table of hazard types, updated following our Thursday afternoon meeting of 10/24. The column labelled "Recommended initial list" has an "x" for the hazard types we chose to include in the initial list at the Thursday meeting. The columns "Training rules" and "PSFC" flag hazard types related to training rules and to the PSFC system, respectively.
