What factors cause accidents composite risk management?

According to the Army CRM (FM 5-19) there are three cause factors: -Human Error -Material Failure/Malfunction -Environmental conditions.


What is the role of Accident Reconstruction Analyst?

An accident reconstruction analyst is typically a PE with additional training and expertise in investigating and determining the root cause or causes of a motor vehicle or other accident. They will rely on evidence obtained at the accident scene such as gauge marks, tire skid marks, and debris to "recreate" the sequence of events in the crash from the point of pre-impact through final rest of the vehicles. Nowadays, they utilize advanced software to produce 3D animations to illustrate their findings.


What sources of information should you use to check safety requirements and procedures?

Such as: local work procedures, codes of practice or guidance, the severity of the accident or injury that the hazard may cause.


What is piping as used in soil mechanics?

Piping in soil mechanics refers to the process where water flow through soil creates internal erosion, leading to the formation of channels or "pipes" within the soil mass. This phenomenon often occurs in saturated soils, particularly in levees, embankments, or dams, where hydraulic gradients can cause fine particles to be washed away. If left unchecked, piping can compromise the stability of structures and lead to failure. Effective management and design measures are essential to prevent piping and ensure soil stability.


How does overcosting or undercosting affects the bill of material?

Overcosting or undercosting directly impacts the accuracy of the bill of materials (BOM) by distorting the true cost of production. Overcosting can inflate the perceived expenses, leading to higher pricing and potential loss of competitiveness, while undercosting can result in underestimated expenses, which may cause financial strain when actual costs exceed projections. Both scenarios can mislead decision-making regarding inventory management, pricing strategies, and resource allocation. Ultimately, accurate costing is essential for effective budgeting and financial planning in manufacturing.
