What is the primary objective of job safety analysis?
What is the primary objective of job safety analysis?
The primary objective of job safety analysis is to identify potential hazards associated with a job and implement measures to mitigate those risks.
Describe the purpose of a safety tag system.
Describe the purpose of a safety tag system.
A safety tag system is used to communicate the status of equipment or work processes, indicating whether they are safe to use or require maintenance.
What is FMEA and how is it used in hazard analysis?
What is FMEA and how is it used in hazard analysis?

Study Notes
Plant and Equipment Safety
- Plant safety appraisal and control techniques aim to identify and mitigate risks.
- Techniques include plant safety observations, inspections, sampling, surveys, job safety analyses, safety inventory systems, and product safety assessments.
- Permit-to-work systems and safety tagging systems are crucial for controlling access to hazardous areas or equipment.
- Loss control and damage control are essential for minimizing consequences of accidents.
- System safety aims to prevent accidents through risk-reduction measures.
Laws and Regulations
- Specific regulations, such as the Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemical (Amendment) Rules (2000), Chemical Accidents Rules (1986), Hazardous Waste Rules (2008), govern handling and management of hazardous substances.
Hazards and Risks
- Hazard identification utilizes techniques like inductive, deductive analysis, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Cause Mapping Analysis (CMA).
- Fault tree analysis helps identify potential accident scenarios.
- Risk assessments determine the likelihood and severity of potential hazards.
- Techniques for accident investigation and reporting, and performance measurement methods are vital.
Major Accident Hazard Control
- Recognizing major accident hazards (MAH) in a facility, evaluation of possible hazards, and understanding their types and potential consequences are crucial.
- The roles of management, local authorities and the public in MAH control are vital to establishing effective procedures.
- On-site and off-site emergency planning, with case studies, are essential.
Importance of Disaster Management
- Disaster management comprises emergency preparedness, contingency plans, and emergency planning and preparedness based on international standards (ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, and OSHA’s Process Safety Management System).
