Read the text and write a summary about the peculiarities of analysis techniques
Analysis techniques can be split into two categories: qualitative and quantitative methods. The both approaches share the goal of finding causal dependencies between a hazard on system level and failures of individual components. Qualitative approaches focus on the question "What must go wrong, such that a system hazard may occur?", while quantitative methods aim at providing estimations about probabilities, rates and/or severity of consequences.
Traditionally, safety analysis techniques rely solely on skill and expertise of the safety engineer. In the last decade model-based approaches have become prominent. In contrast to traditional methods, model-based techniques try to derive relationships between causes and consequences from some sort of model of the system.

Funny Safety Story
1. Two workmen were digging foundations when one of them started shouting and jumping about. The other one thought his partner had hit an underground power cable and was being electrocuted so following good health and safety practice used a shovel (лопата) to separate him from the electricity.
Luckily for the first worker he wasn't getting an electric shock but was panicking after a wasp (оса) had flown up his trousers. Fortunately he didn't get stung (жалити), but the second worker hit him so hard with the shovel that his shoulder was dislocated.
