Study Notes
Dynamic Risk Assessments
- Workers commonly use dynamic risk assessments, which include emergency service workers, tradespeople, care workers, retail staff, and security operatives.
Formal Hazard Analysis
- Two types of formal hazard analysis include inductive and deductive.
- Inductive analysis is bottom-up, future-oriented, and hypothetical, based on experience and conclusions. Examples include FEMA, FEMCA, and FHA.
- Deductive analysis is top-down, future-oriented, and based on conclusions drawn from a number of premises. Examples include FTA, Fishbone, and General to Specific.
Cost Types
- Tangible costs are immediately visible and include purchasing products, paying employees, and equipment maintenance.
- Intangible costs are indirect and not immediately evident, but have future effects, such as risk.
Risk Management
- The definition of risk management is the eradication or minimization of the adverse effects of risks to which an organization is exposed.
- Risk homeostasis is the theory that people adjust their behavior in response to perceived risk levels to eliminate any discrepancies.
- System availability is the degree to which an item is operable and committable.
Analysis Techniques
- Fault tree analysis is a deductive analysis method that starts with a top-level event and works backward to identify causes.
- No single method can fully evaluate a product.
Control Measures
- Examples include avoidance of hazards, engineering or design changes to eliminate or control hazards, limiting personnel exposure to hazards, providing protective clothing and equipment, and providing warning signals.
Risk Management Process
- Key steps include hazard identification, hazard assessment, control development, decision-making, implementation, supervision and evaluation.
- Different types of controls include educational and physical controls.
Insurance
- Reinsurance: insurance between a primary and secondary insurer, with the secondary insurer covering some of the primary insurer's losses.
- Retrocession: the portion of risk or insurance amount the primary company chooses not to retain.
Human Factors Theory
- David Yates' theory categorizes accident causes into overload, inappropriate worker response and inappropriate activities.
- Incident investigations are the responsibility of front-line supervisors.
Accident/Incident Theory
- Petersen's theory states that causes of accidents are human error and/or system failure.
Vicarious Liability
- Assigns liability to a person who did not directly cause an injury but had a legal relationship with the negligent party.
Risk Communication
- Seven Cardinal Rules of Risk Communication (Covello and Allen 1988) include accepting the public as a partner, planning carefully, listening to concerns, being honest, working with credible sources, meeting media needs, and speaking compassionately.
Statistical Concepts
- Z score (Z): determines the location of a single score in a normal distribution.
- T-test (t): compares population mean to sample mean for data sets with fewer than 30 samples.
- Chi-square (X2): measures the goodness of fit between observed and expected frequencies, often used with frequency tables.
- Standard deviation (SD) provides the percentage area under a curve for one, two, and three standard deviations from the mean.
Miscellaneous
- ASTM, ANSI, NFPA, IARC: acronyms for various organizations dealing with standards, fire protection, cancer research.
Safety and Health Programs
- The main goal is to prevent workplace injuries, illness, and deaths.
