    Having read the descriptions, I feel like they are more "loss prevention" techniques instead of "loss control" especially the wordings:

    ...prevent their occurrence (page 10 1st para)
    ...prevent a failure (page 10 1st para under HMAE)
    ...evaluation of the probability of failure (page 11 1st para under FTA)

    Any thoughts?

    There is a lot of overlap between them, and I don't think that everything neatly falls into risk control or prevention. (Prevention is a good way of controlling risk in my books). When it is examined it tends to be examined as a stand alone topic (HMEA).
