ASP Review: SMS Exam Questions and
Answers Graded A+
Which ISO standard covers environmental management? - Correct answer-ISO
14000
What is the term for a neutral or irrelevant effect in an experiment which is
intended to produce the same reaction in a participant as if the event were of
importance? - Correct answer-Hawthorne Effect - "An un-planned change of
behavior in persons taking part in an experiment , due to the persons realization
they are being observed."
According to current safety philosophy, what actions would have the greatest
impact on changing safety behavior? - Correct answer-Positive reinforcement and
reinforcing the behavior as close to action time as possible.
What is the most effective method to fix accountability for environmental, safety
and health issues? - Correct answer-Charge associated costs to each work center -
"Companies that use cost accounting to encourage safety have lower accident
rates." (Dr. Roger Bauer, 2006)
,What is a physical warnings sign's primary purpose to an employee? - Correct
answer-Hazard recognition and comprehension - "Signal word(s) are intended to
capture an employees immediate attention."
Define 'FMEA' analysis? - Correct answer-Failure Mode and Effects Analysis - "A
reliability based analysis, the process provides an exhaustive search for component
failure that will effect system operation."
Define 'Incident Energy'? - Correct answer-Incident energy is defined as the
amount of energy, at a prescribed distance from the equipment, generated during an
electrical arc event. It increases as the magnitude of current flowing in the fault and
clearing time increase.
Process variations occur because of; equipment failures, human error and process
upsets. The analysis methodology that implements a systematic way to examine
how process variations effect a system is called? - Correct answer-Hazard and
Operability (HAZOP) - "HAZOP methodology is a qualitative technique based on
guide words. It requires detailed information about the design and operation of the
process. It is most effective during the design phase of a process."
Which system's primary functions is to identify hazardous conditions, asses their
risk and establish effective risk control measures? - Correct answer-Loss Control
, Define Fredrick Herzberg's 'Motivation Hygiene' theory? - Correct answer-The
theory attempts to explain how people are satisfied by intrinsic job factors, while
being motivated by extrinsic factors. Satisfaction vs. Motivation influenced.
The integration of hazard analysis and risk assessment methods early in the design,
the re-design process and taking actions necessary to mitigate risks to an
acceptable level, is termed? - Correct answer-Prevention (Safety) Through Design
Identify the 3 components of the National Safety Council's (NSC) 'Behavior Based
Safety Process'? - Correct answer-Identify critical behaviors, conduct measurement
through observations and give performance feedback
Define 'Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)'? - Correct answer-The hazard
analysis method that tabulates the ways in which equipment and components can
fail, and the effects of those failures on a system, process or operation.
What analysis the Failure Mode and Effects and Critically Analysis (FMECA) and
extension of? - Correct answer-The Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Define 'In-Direct Costs'? - Correct answer-In-direct costs are the expenses a
business incurs that are not directly related to making a product or service. Costs
not immediate to an event or incident.
Name the design feature that attempts to ensure that if a system failure occurs; it
will leave the system un-affected, or will covert it to a state in which no damage to
