Assignment
1. Describe in detail the theory and use of human factors safety analysis. Be sure to describe the relevance of both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the technique. Provide a scenario to demonstrate a possible use for this analysis.
2. Describe in detail the failure modes, effects, and criticality analysis (FMECA), not to be confused with the failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), as a safety analysis tool. Be sure to include how quantitative hazard probability is accommodated within this tool.
3. Describe in detail the suggested way to create and use an accident investigation board.
4. Describe in detail the different types of qualitative data sources, quantitative data sources, and employee safety training types that are available for use in system safety engineering. Give examples of sources that are best for different types of situations such as near misses, trend analysis, and accident investigations.
5. Describe in detail the eight-step risk assessment methodology.
Discuss in detail the quantitative risk evaluation technique, including both cut-set probabilities of system failure and the economics management theory equation of expected values.
