Functional Safety, Fire Protection And Radiation Protection

Safety is paramount in all things that we do; the processes that we follow, the environments that we operate in, and the status of the equipment that we use to complete our missions. Most of the equipment utilized on a daily basis is easily brought to mind during operational risk management briefs and as the evolution unfolds such as extension cords, climbing gear lanyards and stitching, insulated tools, safety glasses, hard hats, or safety boots that have a non composite toe. On the other hand there is a wide variety of equipment that is actively being used daily yet is hardly considered; one such item is electrical grade floor matting. This safety item can be found ashore and afloat throughout the Coast Guard that is silently protecting technicians and operators alike. The sole purpose of electrical grade floor matting is to remove a path to ground through an operator

Outcome 1 Understanding the different responsibilities relating to health and safety in social care settings.

A set of preliminary usage scenarios that describe the use of the system under different operating conditions.

This paper will look at NFPA 472 and what it does to protect the FireFighter. NFPA 472 is a very interesting standard as it is the standard of competence of responders to hazardous materials/weapons of mass destruction incidents. The purpose of this standard is to specify the minimum effectiveness for those who respond to hazardous materials and WMD incidents and necessary for a risk based response to the incidents. Hazmat situations can be a very tricky situation with all the recently introduced acids and gasoline of the current era. NFPA 472 keeps the FireFighter safe and effective on duty.

There have been many cases where workers have suffered fatal injuries from operating this type of equipment. Following are some of the ways that operators can work safely around such heavy-duty vehicles.

Employees are unaware of which policies and procedures are current and have not received training on them in 2 years

A system is an organized structure that has inputs and outputs that carry out a specific activity. A system is a group of components that makes up a complex functioning unit. When an element changes, the system will stop functioning right. Once the system has been defined by jurisdiction, budget, coverage requirements and user needs, the next step is to design the system using components and systems that are obtainable and have the desired features that the customer and the design engineer have agreed upon. If the design engineer is not careful, then there will be coverage, operational, maintenance and reliability issues that will plague the system forever. The equipment-engineering phase will specify each and every component in the system, (Wiesenfeld, 2010). Due to a problem or situation, there is a beginning and an end to a system that is tasked to solve that problem.

Safety is the state of being safe and free from occurrence of injury, danger or loss.

2) Fire protection. Two each fire extinguisher location signs were missing. (29 CFR 1910.157(c) RAC 3 = Moderate Recommendation: Submit a service order to have the missing signs installed.

This paper will review the July 10, 2007 aviation accident involving a Cessna 310R, N501N, operated by the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing corporate aviation division as a personal flight. The aircraft crashed while attempting an emergency in to Orlando Sanford International Airport, Sanford, Florida after experiencing an in-flight fire. The flight had been released for flight despite it having a known unrepaired maintenance discrepancy. Safety issues discussed in this paper relate to the resetting of circuit breakers, the inspection and maintenance of electrical systems in general aviation aircraft, and the establishment of safety management systems in general aviation corporate aviation operations. Safety

Health and safety policies and procedures were set out to explain what is needed to maintain a safe working environment and adhere to rules and regulation of health and safety regulation. Every working environment must have a safe entrance and exit. In order to minimised risk to health and safety, every equipment must be tested and ensure it is safe to use.

A high level of interconnectedness between system components, reliance on indirect information sources, an unpredictable environment, or incomprehensibility of a system to its operators indicates complexity within a system (Perrow, 1999). Since systems are designed, run and built by humans, they cannot be perfect. Every part of the system is subject to failure; the design can be faulty, as can the equipment, the procedures, the operators, the supplies, and the environment. Since nothing is perfect, humans build in safeguards, such as redundancies, buffers, and alarms that tell operators to take corrective action. But occasionally two or more failures can interact in ways that could not be anticipated. These unexpected interactions of failures can defeat the safeguards, and if the system is also “tightly coupled” thus allowing failures to cascade, it can bring down a part or all of system. The vulnerability to unexpected interactions that defeat safety systems is an inherent part of highly complex systems; they cannot avoid this (Perrow, 1984).

As a ramification, it is difficult for human operators to anticipate faults within the system and prevent and manage the risks incurred by an operational accident accordingly, making them “incomprehensible”. Therefore, organisational accidents in complex systems are inevitable as despite defensive measures implemented to mitigate their risk, such as the training of operators and regular maintenance, the fragile design of the systems is the core reason why accidents occur.
