The performance response categories werebased on professional judgement and experience. It is important to identify the performance responsecategories as it defines the associated risk. For example, the occurrence of a high temperature event forpersonnel is not a risk. However, its effect on personnel not being able to respond in emergencysituations is a risk. The performance category for the above mentioned example would be emergencyresponse, which is important to the analysis as it defines the risk.GENIVAR 4-26
