Topic: Occupational Health and Safety (Fire Safety Department)
Details:
Each method should be done on a single page, followed by the description (explaining what the table or diagram shows and what is the result), the strength of using the method on the chosen place, the weakness of using the method on the selected place, and the experience of reliability vs workload on the next page.
Your task is to perform these assessments with regards to FIRE RISKS AND HAZARDS:
1) Ticklist
2) SWOT
3) Fishbone diagram
4) Bowtie diagram
5) Risk ranking (from ticklist, with overall risk matrix)
6) FMEA or PHA
7) Fault tree (with structure function)
8) Reliability block diagram
9) Event tree
10) Comparative cost Benefit Analysis
11) Optimum budget allocation analysis
12) A reflective comparison of the methods in your portfolio
You should select a hypothetical place to risk assess - you are not (unfortunately) insured or cleared to inspect a real premises full of risks. Each of the above methods should agree and relate to the same place, and the assessment should be SPECIFIC to that place.
Examples: Hotel, train station, art gallery, university building, stadium.
Hint:
A place with three rooms (or your flat) does not impress the course externals/employers.
An oil refinery, nuclear site or military complex is probably too ambitious.
You are looking for a balance between ‘achievable' in the space and ‘shows your skill'.
Original work (i.e. your own tables/diagrams and words) rather than materials derivative from the internet is recommended.
Learning outcomes
This assessment will test your ability to meet the learning outcomes as described in your module booklet, specifically:
Employ a range of qualitative and quantitative methods for application to risk assessment
Critically evaluate a risk assessment
Perform the optimum allocation of resources in a risk management plan informed by risk assessment
Assess relevant documents and communicate the essential and important points
Each of the 12 points of the assignment would equate to approximately two sides of paper. One being a table or diagram, the other being a discussion.
The discussion also breaks into two parts.
Firstly you'd need to explain what the table or diagram shows and what is the result.
Secondly you need to discuss the method in terms of it's strengths, weaknesses and the experience of reliability vs workload.
