49. Which century is characterized by the immeasurably increased energy levels due to the human impact? XX
50. What are the principles of security provision according to the theory of security? Principles, methods, and means - are the logical steps to ensure security. Their selection depends on the specific conditions of human activity, the level of risk, cost and other criteria.
There are many principles of security provision. They can be classified on several grounds. For example, guidance, technological, organizational, managerial.
Guidance: the activity of the operator, the humanization of work, destruction, replacement of the operator, classification, elimination of the danger, regularity, reducing the risk.
Technical: Locks, vacuuming, sealing, protection by the distance, compression strength, the weak link, shielding.
Organizational: protection by the time, information, redundancy, incompatibility, regulation, recruitment, consistency, ergonomics.
Managerial: adequacy, monitoring, feedback, responsibility, planning, promotion, efficiency.
51. What parameters does the principle of normalization set to protect a person from the hazards? The principle of normalization is to set parameters which compliance is to protect a person from the hazards. For example, the maximum permissible concentration (MPC or предельно допустимая концентрация -ПДК), the maximum allowable level (MAL or предельно допустимый уровень -ПДУ), the norms of carrying and lifting of weights, duration of employment, etc.
52. What is referred to as a space where does a constant or periodically arise danger? Noxosphere 53. What is referred to as a space where a man is present during the process of the given activity? Homosphere
54. What are the three most common methods of protection against the hazards? I - Spatial and (or) temporal separation of homosphere and noxosphere. It is achieved by means of remote control, automatization, robotics, special organizations, etc. II - Normalization of the noxosphere by eliminating or reducing the quantitative characteristics of the risk. This is a set of measures that protect a worker from noise, gas, dust, etc. by means of collective protection. III - Adaptation of the worker to the conditions of the noxosphere and increasing the man’s security. The method includes the possibilities of professional selection, training, psychological effects, the use of personal protective equipment. In the real conditions the combination of all three factors takes place.
55. What is referred to as events, processes, expression, information, effects, allowing early detect danger, their nature, sources, direction, scope and possible attack? The indicators are usually referred to as events, processes, expression, information, effects, allowing early detect danger, their nature, sources, direction, scope and possible attack. Indicators are essentially signs, signals of dangers and threats.
56. Which of these are objective indicators of risk? The objective indicators can include, for example, measurements of the pollution level, the statistical assessment of the status and trends of quantitative and qualitative changes of the parameters of crime, deviant behavior (suicide, alcoholism, drug addiction, etc.) that are collected by the scientific research centers and other governmental and public institutions and organizations.
57. What is referred to as the ratio of adverse consequences to their possible number for a certain period? Quantitative risk assessment - is the ratio of those or other adverse consequences to their possible number for a certain period.
58. Which value per year is considered as the negligible risk? Negligible risk is considered to be 1x10-8 per year.
59. How is the value of acceptable risk determined? The value of acceptable risk is determined by the level of development of society and the pace of scientific - technical progress
60. What are the stages of risk analysis? First stage: a preliminary analysis of risk. Second stage: identification of a sequence of dangerous situations.
61. What is the purpose of the first stage of risk analysis? Thus, the purpose of the first stage of risk analysis is to determine the system and identifying in general terms the potential risks. Third stage: analysis of the consequences.
62. What is the purpose of the second stage of risk analysis? Thus, the second phase ends with the detection of all possible failures in the system and the determination of probability values for these options.
63. What is the purpose of the third stage of risk analysis? In analysis of the impact the data obtained during the preliminary risk assessment (1st stage) and on the stage of identifying the sequence of dangerous situations (2nd stage) are used.
64. How does the analysis of failure modes and effects differ from the analysis using the failure tree? According to the failure tree and the result of the probability of possible failures the histogram of frequencies for different values of leakage (for example a nuclear reactor) can be constructed. A curve constructed in accordance with the histogram, shows a limit curve of the frequency of accidental spillage (the Farmer curve). It is believed that the curve separates the upper region of the unacceptably high risk from the acceptable risk, below and to the left of the curve.
Analysis of failure modes and system effects based on the sequential consideration of one element after another, the analysis of all possible types of failures or emergencies, and identifies of their resulting impact on the system is conducted. Certain emergency situations and failure modes of elements are identified and analyzed to determine their impact on other nearby components and the system as a whole.
Analysis of failure modes and effects is significantly more detailed than the analysis using the failure tree, as it is necessary to consider all possible types of failures or accidents for each element of the system
65. Which information does the analysis of criticality provide? This type of analysis provides the classification of each item in accordance with the degree of its influence on the overall purpose of the system. Categories of criticality are established for different kinds of failures:
Category 1 - denial, leading to an additional unplanned maintenance; Category 2 - denial, leading to a delays in work or disability; Category 3 - denial, potentially leading to the failure of implementation of major tasks; Category 4 - denial, potentially leading to the victims.
This method does not quantify the possible consequences or damage, but allows to answer the following questions:
- Which of the elements must be subjected to detailed analysis in order to avoid the dangers of giving rise to accidents; - Which element needs special attention in the production process; - What are the standards of input controls; - Where special procedures, safety rules and other protective measures should be introduced; - How best to spend money to prevent accidents.
