Project Requirements
This will be a group project. The group will be assigned a process (select CSB case or a system to analyze using one or multiple of the system-safety analysis techniques discussed). Each group is expected to identify hazards, determine the system boundaries, subdivide the system into individual components, analyze the system, identify top three (3) hazards or potential hazards, define expected causes, define the expected consequences, identify risk level (quantitatively if possible), and develop recommendations for corrective measures. Each group is expected to submit a report in the following format:
Executive Summary
Current State – Identify top three hazards
System Safety Tool Use and Description – Risk Assessment
Recommendations for Corrective Measures - Hierarchy of Controls
System Safety tools - Risk Assessment of hazards with applied Corrective Measures
Risk Reduction – explanation of reduction methods
Description of Analytical Methods Used
Work Sheets, etc. of Analysis Results (these will be figures added to the body of your report and appendices)
Conclusions
- References (Use APA format)
