Risk management tools help address uncertainty by identifying risks, generating metrics, setting parameters, prioritizing issues, developing responses, and tracking risks. [1] Without the use of these tools, techniques, documentation, and information systems, it can be challenging to effectively monitor these activities.

In terms of complexity and rigour LOPA lies between qualitative techniques such as hazard and operability studies (HAZOP) and quantitative techniques such as fault trees and event trees.
