Assignment #4 - Fernie Memorial Arena Incident Course
Name: Occupational Healthy and Safety
Management
Name: Merlin Shajumon
Student ID: 219905181
Instructor Name: Sarah Gayer
Q1. Could a similar incident have occurred in your workplace (Why or why not?)
I work in a restaurant, and compared to the Fernie Memorial arena, our system is different, less intricate,
and less advanced, thus the likelihood of an incident like the one there happening here is remote.
However, it's critical to be knowledgeable about any potential risks that can exist in a restaurant setting.
Here are a few instances:
•
Dough Mixers: When using dough mixers, contact with the spinning blades might result in hand
injuries.
•
Walk-in Freezer/Refrigerator: Getting trapped inside a walk-in freezer or refrigerator is a possible
risk. Condensation may also make the floors slick in some regions, raising the danger of accidents.
•
Burner or stoves: Getting in touch with hot ranges or stove surfaces poses a burn danger, and there
is also a chance of electric shocks, spills of flame or hot liquid and trips and falls due to open burner
or stove doors.
•
High Shelves: Extending too far to reach objects on high shelves might cause muscle strain.
Additionally, when items are taken off these shelves, there is a chance that they will fall.
•
Lifting: Moving bulky, heavy items around the restaurant might cause muscular strain.
•
Liquids or spills
on the Surface: Any liquids that spill or substances on the floor could pose a trip
and fall risk, leading to possible injury.
To protect the safety and wellbeing of individuals working in the restaurant, it is imperative to address
these possible hazards and adopt the proper preventive measures.
Q2. What hazards were they aware of? Which ones did they miss?
Corrosion brought on by ageing resulted in the development of a small hole in the chiller at the Fernie
Memorial arena. Unfortunately, the required repairs were not made during the 2017 summer seasonal
outage. As a result, the chiller was restarted on October 16 without attending to the pinhole problem. The
operators were also not aware that brine had gotten into the compressor oil. Therefore, only a small
number of the previously shut valves were examined. The following day, there was a major ammonia leak.
The event was cited as the result of a failing refrigeration system and several years of ignored warnings by
WorkSafeBC, a workplace safety organisation.
According to a news source, WorkSafeBC has issued eight citations to the City of Fernie for breaches of the
Workers Compensation Act and Occupational Health and Safety Regulations. A workplace ammonia
exposure management strategy is also missing, as well as frequent workplace inspections that should have
been done to avoid hazardous working conditions.
The refrigeration company in question, Toromont Industries Ltd. (CIMCO Refrigeration), was also found
guilty of two infractions by WorkSafeBC. These infractions involve failing to protect the safety and health
of CIMCO employees, which includes starting maintenance work without properly removing and
controlling any workplace dangers.

Problem 3: A small gearing system in your brand-new 3D printer fails as you were printing,
leading to an overload in the motor and a fire in your home. The fire spreads, burning half of
Everglades National Park in the worst environmental disaster in US history.
The printer company blames you! Stating that you must have been misusing the printer some-
how. Use your engineering knowledge to "show those jerks you mean business!"
You investigate and find a serial number on the gears and type it into Google, finding the
company that manufactures the gears. Their website provides some info that this series of gear is
made from AISI 4340 steel and the yield strength is 125 kpsi.
Assuming each gear tooth acts as a small cantilever, prove to the 3D printer company that they
are liable for the fire.

Kasapreku Distilleries Ghana Ltd, a liquor Production Company located in Ghana had a major contract to supply alcoholic beverage to a neighboring country within one week deadline. In the course of production, there was a major breakdown which led to a long downtime resulting in missing out on the deadline. Kasapreku had lost a great deal of money due to the company’s inability to seriously inculcate safety and maintenance engineering in their system.

Question 2
You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture
fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates
implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial
weight bearing activities.
Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to
verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into
solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending
test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the
yield stress for the…

Task 1: As a maintenance manager at a plant, you are required to update the existing maintenance plan for one
of the critical plant's systems. This entails defining economical and technically practical maintenance
interventions while considering a high level of safety.
What are the potential approaches for maintenance interventions that could be included in the current
maintenance plan? Provide definitions for each of them, outline their advantages and disadvantages, and
support them with real-life examples.
-
State two potential maintenance decision-making strategies you could adopt and clarify their steps and
logic of implementation.
Introduce and explain the concept of Prognostics and Health Management (PHM). Describe what PHM
entails, as well as its benefits and expectations.
- Explain how the frequency of planned maintenance interventions can impact production and costs for a
specific component.
Clarify the process for selecting the best maintenance intervention approach for that…

Topics:
Statics of Rigid Bodies, Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies, Equilibrium in Two Dimensions, etc.
I will rate you with “LIKE/UPVOTE," if it is COMPLETE STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION.
If it is INCOMPLETE SOLUTION and there are SHORTCUTS OF SOLUTION, I will rate you with “DISLIKE/DOWNVOTE.”
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.
PS: If you have answered this already, don’t answer it again; give chance to other experts to answer it. I want to verify if all of you will arrive in the same final answer; thats why I ask it multiple times. If you answer it again, i'll dislike all your entries/answers.

You are employed as a mechanical engineer within an unnamed research center, specializing in the
development of innovative air conditioning systems. Your division is tasked with providing computer-based
modeling and design solutions using computational fluid dynamics through ANSYS software. Your primary
responsibilities involve the analysis of horizontal channel dynamics to meet specific criteria. Under the
guidance of your immediate supervisor, you have been assigned unique responsibilities within an ongoing
project. As a member of the research team, your role includes constructing an appropriate model and
executing a sequence of simulation iterations to explore and enhance channel performance. Figure 1
provides a visualization of the horizontal channel under consideration. Consider 2D, incompressible, steady
flow in a horizontal channel at a Reynolds number of 150. The schematic below illustrates the channel flow,
not drawn to scale. For simplicity, neglect gravity. The…
