ANSI |recommends |the |lighting |level |for |corridors |in |industrial |facilities |should |have |a |minimum
|of |_____ |foot-candles |- |correct |answer |The |minimum |they |recommend |for |corridors |in |
industrial |facilities |is |20 |foot-candles. |The |Illuminating |Engineering |Society |(IES) |publishes |a |
Lighting |Handbook |which |recommends |higher |illumination |levels |to |maximize |productivity.
What |is |privity? |- |correct |answer |- |a |relation |between |two |parties |that |is |recognized |by |law, |
such |as |that |of |blood, |lease, |or |service.
- |No |longer |required |in |negligence |cases. |Today, |a |manufacturer |that |places |a |product |on |the |
market |becomes |a |party |through |implied |warranty.
Describe |risk |control, |risk |reduction, |risk |acceptance, |risk |transfer |- |correct |answer |Risk |
Control: |actively |reduce |risk |to |an |acceptable |level, |reduce |the |likelihood |(occasionally |the |
consequence) |of |a |risk |to |as |low |as |possible
· |Using |proven |technologies |and |processes |to |mitigate |the |risk
· |Modeling |and |simulation |and/or |Mock-ups
|
Risk |Avoidance: |reduces |or |eliminates |the |risk |event |or |condition |by |taking |an |alternate |path, |
eliminates |the |source |of |the |risk |and |replaces |it |with |another |solution
· |Changing |operating |procedures |
· |Use |a |low-risk |mature |technology; |those |with |proven |track |records |
,· |Extend |the |schedule |to |increase |the |probability |of |success
· |Reducing |scope |of |performance |objectives
|
Risk |Acceptance
|
Risk |Transfer: |Use |Firm-fixed |price |contracts |(contractor |assumes |max |cost |risk |and |full |
responsibility |for |all |costs |and |resulting |profit/loss); |minimum |admin |burden |on |government
What |is |caveat |emptor? |- |correct |answer |"Let |the |buyer |beware" |- |used |in |English |common |

identification
Hazard/risk |assessment
Development |of |controls |and |decision |making |- |eliminate/reduce |risks, |including |FINANCIAL
Implementation
Supervision |and |evaluation |- |administering |the |process

protocol |checklist
- |Determines |the |areas |to |be |examined, |the |level |of |detail, |in |general, |the |questions |to |be |
asked
,What |are |the |2 |main |objectives |of |risk |management |process? |- |correct |answer |Pre-loss: |
Reducing |fear |and |worry |about |potential |losses; |regulatory |compliance; |obtaining |insurance; |
maintaining |social |responsibilities; |minimizing |expenditures |consistent |with |post-loss |goals
|
Post-loss: |Keep |enough |earnings |for |continued |operations, |find |ways |to |expand |growth |- |
product |development, |acquisitions/mergers, |taking |care |of |employees, |keep |human/material |
resources |available
Describe |the |risk |assessment |concept |- |correct |answer |Risk |Assessment |--> |Risk |Determination
|(risk |identification, |risk |estimation) |+ |Risk |Evaluation |(risk |aversion |[how |well |risk |can |be |
reduced/avoided] |and |risk |acceptance)
What |is |the |National |Academy |of |Science's |4 |steps |in |identifying |chemical |risk |assessment? |- |
correct |answer |1. |Hazard |identification
2. |Dose-response |assessment
3. |Risk |characterization
4. |Exposure |assessment
What |circumstances |are |most |prone |to |severe |injuries? |- |correct |answer |Non-routine, |non-
production, |high |energy, |construction
What |is |the |definition |of |single |point |of |failure? |- |correct |answer |Single |item |of |hardware, |the |
failure |of |which |would |lead |directly |to |loss |of |life, |vehicle |or |mission.
What |percentage |of |accidents |in |aviation, |shipping, |and |the |process |industry |are |attributed |to |
human |error? |- |correct |answer |60-70%
What |are |the |basic |processes |to |systematically |identify |hazards? |- |correct |answer |1. |Identify |
specific |work |areas
2. |Review |historical |data/documents |involved |in |operations |to |determine |prior |injuries |and |
accidents |occurred
3. |Conduct |onsite, |visual |inspection
, 4. |Determine |individual |job |tasks |involved |and |break |them |into |steps
5. |Analyze |each |job |task |and |identify |potential |hazards
What |are |some |ways |that |hazards |can |be |identified? |- |correct |answer |Experience, |historical |
data |(frequency |and |severity |data), |intuitive |analysis, |judgment, |standards, |brainstorming, |
systematic |techniques |(e.g., |fault-tree |analysis)
What |is |the |goal |in |risk |identification? |- |correct |answer |Reduce |uncertainty |in |describing |
factors |that |contribute |to |accidents, |injuries, |illnesses, |deaths
Why |is |safety |inspection |ineffective |in |uncovering |the |causes |of |most |accidents? |- |correct |
answer |Inspections |only |look |at |hazardous |conditions, |not |individual |task |procedures
Who |should |determine |the |level |of |risk |the |company |should |assume |or |transfer? |- |correct |
answer |Executive |management |of |company/organization
What |is |Management |of |Change? |- |correct |answer |• |Evaluate |the |changes |in |a |chemical |
