What is a Management of Change process?
Answer: Systematically evaluating safety implications of workplace changes before implementation
MOC evaluates safety implications of changes before implementation to prevent introducing new hazards.
What is the difference between hazard prevention and mitigation?
Answer: Prevention stops harm from occurring; mitigation reduces severity of consequences after an incident
Prevention stops incidents from occurring; mitigation reduces consequences if they do occur.
What is Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)?
Answer: Systematically identifying potential failure modes, assessing effects, and prioritizing corrective actions
FMEA identifies potential failures, evaluates effects, and prioritizes actions using Risk Priority Numbers.
How should controls be validated after implementation?
Answer: Through monitoring, measurement, testing, and periodic review
Validation requires ongoing monitoring, measurement, and review to verify effectiveness.
What role does worker participation play in hazard control?
Answer: Workers provide front-line knowledge, practical solutions, and greater compliance with controls they helped develop
Workers have daily hazard knowledge, can evaluate practicality, and show greater compliance with self-developed controls.
What is the ALARP principle?
Answer: As Low As Reasonably Practicable: reduce risks until further reduction is grossly disproportionate to benefit
ALARP means risks should be reduced until further reduction is grossly disproportionate to the benefit.
