Description
Given the dataset, you're required to:
- Skimthrough the reports availablein the dataset.
- Identify a minimum of 20 reports that share the same Safety Event and a common stakeholder/organisation.
- Clean and organise the categories (columns) and data pointsaccording to your interest.
- Define three variables (columns) that will be useful to analyse the hazard and the hazard consequence. You can highlight them in a differentcolour to help finding them later.
- Code the narratives for the 20 selected safety reports according to themes of interest.
- Identify two codes/themes common to the reports and create two new columnsaccordingly.
- Copy the 20 safety reports, three columns highlighted and two new columns and paste them in a separate worksheet (a different tab).
- Create a pivot table/chart for the 20 safety reports and the five columns to generate chats/tables.
Once you went through all these steps, and considering20 reports,you will be required to describe the following topics according to the report template (availablehere):
- Complete the modified bow-tie framework with the contributing factors, hazard, safety event and hazard consequence.
- Describe the safety event.
- Describeand justifythe stakeholder perspective.
- List at least 20 safety reports used in the report in a table using the ACN number.
- Describeand justifyone hazard.
- Describeand justifythree contributing factors to thehazard and provide charts for them.
- Describe and justifyonehazardconsequence. Provide a chart for it.
- Assess the risk and indicate the risk index based onICAOrisk matrix and provide the tolerability for the index.Provide the rationale for the chosen probability and severity according to the dataset.
- Proposeand justify two risk mitigation recommendations: one to reduce the probability and another to reduce the severity of the hazard consequence analysed.
1. Modified Bow-Tie Framework
Complete the framework below after analysing the dataset.
Bow tie method is term as the method related to risk evaluation that can be used by an organisation in order to analyse and demonstrate that relationship which is casual in high risk scenarios. This is further discussed as per below diagram which is designed as like men’s bowtie.
This bow tie is basically used by many industries that enjoy huge benefit from versatility and also the approach that has been structured in the method of Bow-tie. This is because it has been analysed that the risk is being inherent to each and every operations that is being taken place in a particular organisation. Thus, if this method is being applied in petrochemical sector, than it has been analysed that Bow ties are useful in extreme manner in both aviation and aerospace industries and also in various other industries that includes rail, defence, energy and pharmaceuticals.
Further, it has been analysed that the risk in Bow tie methodology is basically elaborated by relationships that is discussed between hazards, top events, threats and consequences. In addition to this, it has also been analysed that controls are being used in order to display the measures that has to be taken by particular organisation in order to control all those risk that has been identified and that are dangerous for a company to achieve success. But there are some events that can cause the hazard to get released.
Contributing Factors to the Hazard
1 Are the employees well trained and competent in order to perform any kind of work. |
|||||||||||||||||
Hazard |
Hazard Consequence |
||||||||||||||||
Explosive material involved in the facility. Operation related to equipment and machinery that are available in an organisation. Slips, trips and falls while working on a particular site. |
Safety Event |
Hazard is that agent that leads in causing harm or damage to those humans or either property. Hazards that are caused directly by the organisational issues include clutter that obstructs the emergency exits. In addition to this, it also includes staff injuries from those items that are improperly stored that falls down. Further, tripping hazards and any other bodily harm that results from various items not being there where they are being expected to be or either there where they actually should be placed. |
|||||||||||||||
The organisation must try to train their employees in well manner so that they can work in an enterprise accordingly without any hazards that may affect them and also their health. Further, they must also try to use labels and signs where there is any kind of dangerous that may affect their workers so that they can be careful and work accordingly. In addition to this, the cited organisation must also try to make regular inspection in terms of equipment and also in terms of tools that is available with them so that they can avoid hazards. |
|||||||||||||||||
2. Poor communication can also be the huge and significant reason that would lead them in lack of human relations that can lower the productivity level of a particular organisation. |
|||||||||||||||||
3. Equipments and tools are appropriate for the task that is being performed in an organisation. |
2. List of the safety reports analysed
Safety report is basically termed as that document which includes detailed information about the risk and is prepared by the manager of leader of a particular firm. This is prepared in control to MHF that leads in outlining or highlighting the various types of safety studies that has been undertaken and later results are being obtained. Thus, arrangements related to management is essential in the firm that further leads in ensuring the continued safety of both facility and associated personnel that are involved.

3. Safety Event
Safety event is termed as that situation in which the actual practice that is being expected and also the one that is best does not occur. Thus, if it creates serious cause or harm to an individual that it will be termed as serious safety event. Further, workplace safety is termed as one of the critical issue for any business or firm either large or small. Therefore, to keep employees free for harm in the working time is termed as both moral and legal obligation. This affects the owner of the business. To increase the safety on a workplace, work safety day has to be taken place that would lead in teaching employees about the best practices to make productive and safety work environment.
One of the measures that can be adopted by cited firm is to go offsite which is one of the simpler is to select a day so that they can spend with group of employees, top managers or any one unit of a particular company. This is the best way through which awareness can be raised through designation as per the safety day and has to lack in taking any kind of burden in terms of planning any kind of event themself.
4. Stakeholder Perspective
Safety management in organisation is termed as an integral effort. Thus, its success basically requires inputs from all stakeholders across design. Thus, stakeholders perception is being discussed as per below-
The existence of data analysis is being confirmed of such discordance and later leads in indicating a trend in likelihood estimation of a risk. Further, by perception it has been estimated that from low to high risk perceptions, the stakeholders are architects, professionals and contractors and engineers. According to the stakeholders, the customer satisfaction results are analysed and recognised easily which have been dropped in the last few years which have been dropped in the past few years as fundamental changes has been made that further requires improvement. Further, it has been believed that the short term decline in terms of level of satisfaction will be improved when these fundamental changes are fully and completely in place which results in completing in achieving the overall strategic goals and objectives.
In addition to this, it has also been estimated or determined that the average in the year end is being measured in terms of workers that are being injured with a loss of time claim that is further decreased to 3.72 out of 5 with a target of 4.20.
5. Hazard
Hazard is termed as that agent who has a basic potential in order to cause harm to that target that is vulnerable. They come into existence in both ways either in natural or are induced by human. There are various types of Hazards that basically takes place in an organisation which includes the following
- Psychosocial hazards- This basically includes but isn’t limited to stress, violence and other stressors of workplace.
- Managing stress at workplace- this leads in outlining the strategies that can be adopted by each and every one that is being involved as a member in that particular firm. This strategies further leads in managing and reducing their own level of stress and also in terms of finding work life balance.
- Bullying in workplace- The bullying at workplace is repeated and further unreasonable behaviour which is directed towards group or worker that leads in creating health and safety risk.
- Code of practice in terms of Violence, aggression and Bullying at work- This information is therefore developed further and complied that later leads in preventing such type of bullying and manage them accordingly.
- Training and development- Training and development plays significant role in order to motivate people in such way that they can perform work in positive manner. Thus, motivation leads in making people feel valued and important for organisation that later leads them in achieving long term success. Therefore, it is important for the manager and leader of cited organisation to analyse that all the members involved are trained and developed in well manner.
- Communication- Communication means to send and receive information in easy manner. This plays important role as it helps in maintaining good and strong relationship with each member that is involved. Therefore it becomes essential in order to analyse that the communication is poor that can cause hazard to the organisation.
- Appropriate equipments and tools- this is also the most essential factor that contributes to hazard. It becomes important to analyse that the tools or equipments that are used for performing work are appropriate so that they can enjoy success
6. Hazard consequence
Consequences are termed as a measure that leads in severity of damage for that event that has been caused. The ways that are involved in order to reduce risk includes firstly to decrease those risks that further leads to hazards. In addition to this, it also leads in reducing or removing out the exposure or decrease that consequences that creates hazards.
If the consequence of hazard are not addressed than it may lead productivity to suffer to a large extent. For example, if there is an hazard in a machine then they machine shut down the machine and inspect other substitutes of machine so that they can work further that do not cause any kind of defect to their productivity level.
7. Risk Index and tolerability
Risk index is the last result that is being analysed in full assessment of a risk. Thus if there is any kind of hazard than it may not cause any kind of risk or damage to the organisation or the products as they have their substitutes which can be used in order to increase and maintain the productivity level. Thus, it has been analysed that the severity of risk is minor.
8. Risk Mitigation Recommendations
- Conducting swot analysis- Swot analysis is the best way or framework that helps in analysing the strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats which can be used in making the business successful by fulfilling the weakness and threats by adopting various strategies and measures. Further, strengths and positive events helps in promoting goals in terms of strategic planning.
- Be continuous in risk management- Risk management is not a one time exercise and is a continuous thing. In this, they must continuous the management process in terms of risk rather than moving to something else. In other words, it should be on the mind of the manager continuously. Hence, for this they must rely on various sources on regular basis that would help them in this risk management process.
