Which system has as its primary functions to identify hazardous conditions, assess their risk and establish effective risk control measures? CORRECT ANSWER Loss control
Risk CORRECT ANSWER The combination of the severity of a define exposure with its frequency of occurrence. The technique that effectively decreases a project's schedule risk without increasing the overall risk is to incorporate slack time into the projects's critical path schedule early in project planning.
Hazard CORRECT ANSWER Any real or potential condition that can cause injury, illness, or death to personnel; damage to or loss of a system, equipment or property; or damage to the environment. A potentially unsafe condition resulting from failures, malfunctions, external events, errors, or a combination thereof. A condition, set of circumstances or inherent property that can cause injury, illness or
death.
Probability CORRECT ANSWER The likelihood of a hazard causing an incident or exposure that could result in harm or damage for a selected unit of time, events, population, items, or activities being considered.
Severity CORRECT ANSWER The extent of harm or damage that could result from a hazard related to incident or exposures.
Risk analysis CORRECT ANSWER The process of identifying safety risk. This involves identifying hazards that present mishap risk with an assessment of the risk. Risk assessment CORRECT ANSWER The process of determining the risk presented by the identified hazards. This involves evaluating the identified hazard casual factors and then characterizing the risk as the product of the hazard severity times the hazard probability.
Safety CORRECT ANSWER Freedom from those conditions that can cause death,
injury, occupational illness, damage to or loss of equipment or property, or damage
to the environment. The ability of a system to exclude certain undesired events (i.e.
mishaps) during stated operation under stated conditions for a stated time. The ability of a system or product to operate with a known and accepted level of mishap risk. A built-in system characteristic.
Exposure CORRECT ANSWER Contact with or proximity to a hazard, taking into
account duration and intensity.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) CORRECT ANSWER Process of identifying the basic lowest level causal factors for an event. Usually the event is an undesired event, such as a hazard or mishap.
Risk Communication CORRECT ANSWER The interactive process of exchanging
risk information and opinions among stakeholders.
Risk management CORRECT ANSWER The process by which assessed risks are mitigated, minimized, or controlled through engineering, management, or operational means. This involved the optimal allocation of available resources in support of safety, performance, cost, and schedule.
Unacceptable risk CORRECT ANSWER That risk that cannot be tolerated. Acceptable Risk CORRECT ANSWER That part of identified mishap risk that is allowed to persist without taking further engineering or management action to eliminate or reduce the risk, based on knowledge and decision making. The system
user consciously exposed to this risk. A risk level achieved after risk reduction measures have been applied. It is a risk level that is accepted for a given task (hazardous situation) or hazard. For the purpose of this standard, the terms "acceptable risk" and "tolerable risk" are considered to be synonymous.
Accepted risk CORRECT ANSWER Accepted risk has two parts: (1) risk that is knowingly understood and accepted by the system developer or user and (2) risk that is not known or understood and is accepted by default.
Residual risk CORRECT ANSWER Overall risk remaining after system safety mitigation efforts have been fully implemented. It is, according to MIL-STD-
882D, "the remaining mishap risk that exists after all mitigation techniques have been implemented or exhausted, in accordance with the system safety design order of precedence." Residual risk is the sum of all risk after mishap risk management has been applied, This is the total risk passed on to the user.
Mitigation CORRECT ANSWER An action taken to reduce the risk presented by a
hazard, by modifying the hazard in order to decrease the mishap probability and/or the mishap severity. Mitigation is generally accomplished through design measures, use of safety devices, warning devices, training, or procedures. It is also referred to as hazard mitigation and risk mitigation.
As low as reasonably practical (ALARP) CORRECT ANSWER Level of mishap risk that has been established and is considered as low as reasonably possible and still acceptable. It is based on a set of predefined ALARP conditions and is considered acceptable.
