Part-A

1. Hazard Control Procedures:

The following are the Hazard Control Procedures:
I. Elimination: if possible the Hazard to be eliminated
II. Substitution: Substitute with lesser hazardous materials (Toxic material with nontoxic materials etc.)
III. Engineering Control in design stage to minimise the risk
IV. Administrative Controls (Sign Board, Training, Work Permit system etc.)
V. By using Personal Protective Equipment’s in the workplace
2. Importance of Safety in HSE Management System:

Organisation/
Management
Group of People

working

Environment/W
orkplace
Equipment/
Facilities
Plant
The above schematic illustration shows that if the group of people working in the workplace and if individual personnel violate the safety norms
and this violation align with other gaps on other control barriers likes (Improper shift handover, Improper communication, management
oversight, fault of equipment etc.) then cumulative violation will cause Accident like Swiss cheese model.

3. Weak Link: During FMEA Study of the equipment and assigned numerical numbers for Occurrences, Severity and Detection and these
numbers are multiplied and it is names as Risk Priority Numbers (RPN). The maximum rating of RPN number is called weak link which is
concerned for the team. The chances of failure of equipment is very high on this section of equipment.
4. Steps for FMEA:
Step-1: Define the system (design specification, drawings, working principle etc.)
Step-2: Identify the components and basic requirement of each component.
 Step-3 Establish the level of Analysis (Operational stage or design stage etc.)
Step-4 Identify the Potential Failure Mode of each component
Step-5 List Potential effect of each Failure Mode
Step-6 Assign a severity ranking for each effect
Step-7 Assign an occurrence ranking for each failure mode
Step-8 Assign a detection ranking for each failure mode and/or effect
Step-9 Calculate the risk priority number for each effect RPN= occurrences X Severity X Detection
Step -10 Prioritize the failure modes for action
Step -11 Take action to eliminate or reduce the high-risk failure modes
Step -12 Calculate the resulting RPN as the failure modes are reduced or eliminated
5. Risk Priority Number (RPN)
During FMEA study, we assigned numbers for Severity, Occurrence and Detection from 1 to 10 scale, for each failure mode of
component we assigned numbers for each and Multiple the severity, occurrence, and detection scores together to find the RPN value.
Based on RPN risk ranking number we can get the detail of Weak link and Gold Plated System/component.
