Which one of the following types of risk analysis uses historical data to
assign specific values to consequences and their probabilities to reach a
numeric indication of the level of risk? - ANSWER ✔✔Quantitative
analysis
From a system safety perspective, change analysis is an analysis -
ANSWER ✔✔That projects the effects a given system change is
likely to have on an existing system
,A worker for Build-Rite Construction Company removed the pressure
gauge and warning sticker from an air compressor. The pressure gauge
automatically shuts off the compressor when the pressure gets too high.
The sticker warned that an explosion could result if the pressure was too
high. Without the pressure gauge in place, the air compressor exploded.
The explosion killed one worker and severely injured another. If Build-
Rite performs a root cause analysis (RCA) of this fatal accident, which
one of the following might be determined to be a root cause? -
ANSWER ✔✔Inadequate training
Using fault tree analysis, an "and" gate is connecting the events in
rectangles C, D, and E to the event in rectangle A. If the probabilities of
events in rectangles C, D, and E of the fault tree are .10, .20, and .30,
respectively, what is the probability that the event in rectangle A will
occur? - ANSWER ✔✔.006 ----- (p(C) X p(D) X p(E); .10 X .20 X .30
= .006
A phase in the life of a system when the basic purpose and preliminary
design of the system are formulated is the - ANSWER ✔✔Conceptual
phase
,Within a system safety context, the engineering phase of a system's life
cycle is that phase in which - ANSWER ✔✔The system's design is
constructed and prototypes are tested.
One form of root cause analysis utilizes a fishbone diagram. Under this
technique, a team of investigators brainstorms the causes of a risk
event, sorts them into categories, and traces them to their origin. This
type of analysis relies heavily on a - ANSWER ✔✔"5 Whys" analysis.
The second step in the root cause analysis (RCA) process is charting
the agents that directly result in one event triggering another event. In
RCA, these agents are called - ANSWER ✔✔Causal factors
Harris Company is analyzing its workers compensation loss exposure.
Harris Company retains most of the exposure and purchases excess
insurance to cap its liability on any individual claim. Because Harris
Company has a large work force, it can predict its workers compensation
cost with some level of accuracy. For next year, the risk manager
estimates that there is a 70% chance that workers compensation costs
will be $6 million or less, a 25% chance workers compensation costs will
be between $6 million and $8 million, and a 5% chance workers
compensation costs will exceed $8 million. The type of analysis the risk
manager performed is called - ANSWER ✔✔Quantitative analysis

, Vicki has been hired to investigate industrial accidents for a biotech
company that produces a number of drugs. In most cases, she will be
asked to look at a particular system failure and trace the events leading
to the failure backwards. Which system safety analysis technique would
be most appropriate for this application? - ANSWER ✔✔Fault tree
analysis
An approach to accident causation, which looks at an organization as a
whole to identify potential sources of losses is - ANSWER ✔✔System
safety analysis
Air-Freight Company wants to use failure mode and effects analysis
(FMEA) to analyze its systems, subsystems, components, sub-
assemblies, and parts. Level 1 is the overall system for shipping freight.
Level 2 is the system segments, with the prime items (air freight hubs,
schedulers, and logistics) designated as Level 3. Level 4 is the
subsystems (local freight handlers, package sorters, etc.). Level 5 is the
hardware and parts (forklifts, conveyor belts, planes, and delivery vans,
etc.). In FMEA, these various systems and subsystems are called -
ANSWER ✔✔Indenture levels
