LOI is a major rail infrastructure project that will contribute to a modernised transport system in time for the 2012 Olympic
Games. A review of the procedures and tool infrastructure was conducted in early 2006, coinciding with a planned move to main
works. A hazard log support tool was needed to provide: an automatic audit trial, version control and support collaborative
working. A DOORS based Hazard Log (DHL) was selected as the Tool Strategy. A systematic approach was followed for the development
of DHL, after a series of tests and acceptance gateways, DHL was handed over to the project in autumn 2006. The first few
months were used for operational trials and he Hazard Management rocedure was modified to be a hybrid approach that used the
strengths of DHL and Excel. The user experience in the deployment of DHL is summarised and directions for future improvement
identified.
