Safety

I. Problems

1. A firm employing 300 workers has 25 recordable injuries or illnesses in a


year. What is its
total injury–illness incidence rate?

2. During a 6-month period, a firm employing 50 employees has 18 injuries and


illnesses
requiring medical treatment; in four of these cases the employee lost at least 1
day from
work.
(a) Calculate the general injury–illness incidence rate.
(b) Calculate the traditional frequency rate.

3. For the year 2001, a firm with 25 employees has two medical-treatment
injuries, plus one
injury in which the worker lost 3 days of work. Calculate the injury incidence
rate and the
LWDI.
4. A firm has 62 employees. During the year, there are seven first-aid cases,
three medical-treatment injuries, an accident in which an injured employee was
required to work 1 week in restricted work activity, a work-related illness in
which the employee lost 1 week of work, a work-related illness in which the
employee lost 6 weeks of work, and a fatality resulting from an electrocution.
Calculate the total incidence rate, the number-of-lost-workdays rate, and the
LWDI.

5. Top management has set a safety and health objective for the year for a plant
employing 135 employees. The objective is to reduce the LWDI of the firm to a
level lower than the national average: 3.6. By May 1, the safety and health
manager has logged 12 first-aid cases, 3 lost-time injuries, and 2 illnesses, both
of which resulted in hospitalization. Based on these preliminary results, does it
appear that the firm will meet top management’s objective for the year? Show
calculations to justify your conclusion.
6. Using a pair of dice for a simulation device, suppose that an outcome of 11
represents an
industrial accident.
(a) Draw a fault-tree diagram to illustrate the ways in which this accident could
happen.
(b) Calculate the probability that this accident will happen in a given throw of
the dice.

7. A certain type of injury has tangible costs of $15,000 per occurrence and
intangible costs estimated to be $250,000 per occurrence. Injury frequency is
0.01 per year, but would be reduced by half with the installation of a new
engineering control system. What annual benefit would the new system
provide?
8. Event A has probability of occurrence pa, Event B has probability of
occurrence pb, and A and B are independent. Either A or B is sufficient cause
for loss incident Event C to occur. Write a formula to calculate the probability
of occurrence of loss incident Event C.

9. Event A has probability of occurrence 0.3, Event B has probability of


occurrence 0.2, and A and B are independent. Either A or B is sufficient cause
for loss incident Event C to
occur. Calculate the probability of occurrence of loss incident Event C.

II. True and False

1. In the real world, we must choose among the following:


a. Hazards that are physically infeasible to correct
b. Hazards that are physically feasible, but are economically infeasible to correct
c. Hazards that are both physically and economically feasible to correct
(True)
2. All and Every hazards at the work place can be eliminated. (False)
3. Most safety and health managers wear several hats, i.e. have other responsibilities
at work like
Legal, Admin, top Management etc. (True)
4. The following are standards organizations:
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
• National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
• American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
• American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) (True)
5. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has a wealth of
research data on the hazards of specific materials and processes and can be used a
source of information. (True)
6. Safety hazards are synonymous to Health hazards. (False)
7. Hazard is the latent situation which may induce damage or accidents (True)
8. Technology can reduce “Risk value”, but needs more money (True)
9. As an SHM your aim is to remove all hazards and create a 100% safe environment
in the workplace. (False)
10. It is an unrealistic and naïve strategy to attempt to eliminate all hazards. (True)
11. Reforms for workers’ compensation can be roughly divided into only Two
categories (False) “4 Categories”
12. Incident is any unplanned event that interrupts the completion of activity
and that may or may not involve human injury or property damage. (False)
13. Minor Accident use Accident Analysis Report (False)
14. Minor accidents does not include any of the following: Death, loss of
consciousness, medical treatment beyond first aid (True)
15. The enforcement approach Simple and Direct (True)
16. FTA takes a 'bottom up' approach, looking at each component in turn and
creating a list of potential failure modes. (False)
17. We believe that “Tag out” is more effective than “ Lock out”. (False)
18. Maximum clearance of a fan blade guard is 0.5 inch. (True)
19. Reciprocating machines may actually walk during operation, unless
properly anchored. (True)
20. Injury statistics show that the point of operation is the most dangerous
part of machines in general. (True)
21. Wing nuts or quick-release devices should be used to secure guards
(False)
22. Hand-feeding tools can replace the function of a point-of-
operation guard.(False)
23. Although the awareness barrier is not a guard, it does provide a
reminder that the hands are in danger.(True)
24. Machine breaks are mechanically capable to keep stopping time
constant. (False)
25. Safe Distances must be calculated based on work place
dimensions, machine speeds, and other variables (True)
26.Maintenance teams/personnel are the authority for the Tag out
and Lock out issues. (True)
