Assignment No 1

1. Occurrence of singe or sequence of events that produce unintended loss is

calledAccident
2. Chemical or physical condition that has potential to cause damage to people,
property or environmental is calledHazard
3. Measure of expected effects of the results of an incident is called as
Consequences.
4. Relationship between the frequency and number of people suffering a given
level of harm from realization of hazard is called asSocietal risk.
5. Estimation of uncertainties associated with the entire process of risk assessment
is called as Risk characterization
6. Frank and Morgan technique for industrial fire risk assessmentcan be a
suitable tool for evaluating industrial fire risk and prioritizing units in general
level of an industrial complex especially chemicals company.
7. The control score for a department in an oil industry is given as 156 and hazard
score is 152.the calculate the percentage risk index is 24.04
8. Action taken to control or reduce risk is called risk aversion
9. In the context of risk assessment; what do you understand by the term risk
A probability or threat of damage, injury, liability, loss, or any other
negative occurrence that is caused by external or internal vulnerabilities,
and that may be avoided through action and assessment.
10.FN Curves are used for representing societal risk.
11.Prevention of hazard occurrence through proper hazard identification,
assessment and elimination is called Hazard Evaluation
12.Define individual risk and societal risk.
Individual Risk
Individual risk is defined as frequency at which every individual may be
expected to sustain a given level of harm from realization of hazard. It accounts
usually for risk of death only. It is expressed as risks per year remember

individual is related to an individual person, which encounters or has risk of

death.
Societal risk
It is defined as relationship between the frequency and the number of people
suffering a given level of harm from realization of hazard. Societal risk are
expressed as FN curves, showing the cumulative frequency which is F with
respect to the number of fatalities which is N. Annual fatality rate is an outcome
of this kind of study in which the frequency and fatality data are combined into
a convenient single measure of group risk.
13.What is the difference between safety and risk ?
Risk is the probability of the realization of potential for loss or damage or
injury,and safety is a condition which gives you freedom from hazard, risk,
accident which may cause injury, damage and loss to material or property
damage and even death.
14.What are the application issues of risk assessment
To avoid future accidents
To implement health and safety policy
Reduce the losses
Avoid hazard
15.State the golden rules of good HSE management program
All operations and tasks will be risk assessed and the appropriate control
measures (precautions) implemented giving due regard for the hierarchy of
control measures.
Work will not commence until a safe system of work has been devised and
implemented.
Work will not commence without a task specific safety briefing.
Those involved in the work will be competent, medically fit and sufficiently
rested.
Emergency response plans, including rescue plan, will be in place before
commencing
any work.
Everyone has the right and obligation to stop work that is considered unsafe
.

16.What do you understand by loss? What do you understand by acceptable risk?

As an employee of an oil industry, how do you react to the term acceptable risk?
Loss
If a term there is an accident, if at all I have methodology to define the accident
in terms of probable risk, any accident will always result in a loss. Now, the loss
can be expressed in terms of human terms, in financial terms, in legal terms. For

example, in human terms the loss of life, serious injury, and serious illness
etcetera. If we considered the loss in financial terms then cost to replace the
equipment, cost of shut down or the down time etcetera; if you look at the loss
in legal terms it can be assist as claims, insurance, liability etcetera.
Acceptable Risk
Risk is acceptable to regulatory agency and also to public. Level of human
and/or material injury or loss from an industrial process that is considered to be
tolerable by a society or authorities in view of the social, political, and
economic cost-benefit analysis.
17.Explain about safety assurance and safety assessment methods
The purpose of Safety Assurance is to evaluate the overall effectiveness of risk
controls and safety management system The organization should be monitoring
your systems and operations to ensure that new hazards are identified, ensure
compliance with regulatory requirements applicable to the SMS, and ensure that
your Safety Assurance function is based upon the comprehensive system
description as described in the System and Task Analysis Process. And Safety
Assessment method
18.What are goal setting regimes and rule based regimes?
The goal setting regimes are listed below
Duty holder assesses risk
It should demonstrate its understanding
It should controls cover management
Keeps pace with new knowledge
Opportunity for workforce engagement
The rule based regimes are listed below
Legislator sets rules
Emphasizes compliance rather than outcomes
Slow to respond
Less emphasis on continuous improvement
Less work force involvement

19.Explain the importance of safety in HSE management through a schematic

illustration?

The importance of safety in HSE management can be explained

diagrammatically through the above figure. The procedural violations done by
this group is carry forward by inter-individual phenomenon. There is no
communication protocol between the groups, because there is an inadequate
shift handovers; that results a further complication in facilities in equipment.
The outer tablet of organization and management,there is a violation culture
existing in the organization; there has been serious maintenance error. This
capsule added to previous all complications makes things more difficult for the
outer profile, which is external environment. So, this depending upon, what are
the facilities we have in the work place.
If any error or violation created by individual group, when this gets aligned with
all the subsequent errors done at different levels and it can be called at disaster
