    The document discusses key concepts around safety and risk from Chapter 5 of a safety assessment lesson. It outlines several main points: 1) Judgments of safety are subjective based on individual risk tolerance. 2) Risk is the potential for something unwanted or harmful to occur. 3) A risk is acceptable when people are no longer apprehensive about it. 4) Risk arises from uncertainties in design, manufacturing, and other areas. 5) Both risks and benefits must be considered in analyses and tend to even out over large groups of people. Examples of improving safety include refrigerator door locks and train controls. Thorough testing and maintenance procedures are important to ensure safe products and emergency responses.

    HSS-61011 Lesson Assessment

    1. Title and Sub-title of Subject.


    Title Chapter 5 Commitment to Safety
    Sub-Titles 5.1 Safety and Risk
    5.2 Assessing and Reducing Risk
    2. What are the Key Learning Points (Main concepts) from this article and how will you
    apply these key points to yourself?
     We demand safe products and services, but we also realize that we may have to pay for this
    safety, to complicate matters, what may be safe enough for one person may not be for
    someone else either because of different perceptions about what is safe or because of different
    predispositions to harm.
     A thing is safe if its risks are judged to be acceptable, this approach helps underscore the
    notion that judgments about safety are tacitly value judgments about what is acceptable risk to
    a given person or group.
     A risk is the potential that something unwanted and harmful may occur.

     a risk is acceptable when those affected are generally no longer (or not) apprehensive about it,
    apprehensiveness depends to a large extent on how the risk is perceived.
     Risk is seldom intentionally designed into a product, it arises because of the many
    uncertainties faced by the design engineer, the manufacturing engineer, and even the sales and
    applications engineer.
     Risk-benefit analyses reveals some conceptual difficulties, both risks and benefits lie in the
    future.
     Personal risk is that analysts employ whatever quantitative measures are ready at hand, risks
    and benefits to the public at large are more easily determined because individual differences
    tend to even out as larger numbers of people are considered.
     To improve safety, first example is the magnetic door catch introduced on refrigerators to
    prevent death by asphyxiation of children accidentally trapped in them and second example is
    the dead-man handle used by the engineer (engine driver) to control a train’s speed.
     A safety conscious design and thorough testing of any potentially dangerous product before it
    is delivered for use, it is of course necessary that its user have in place procedures for regular
    maintenance and safety checks.
     Emergency procedures based on human factors engineering that takes into account how
    people react and interact under conditions of stress as occurred during the TMI accident.
