Risk Assessment Interactive Assignment
This is a 2 part Risk Assessment Interactive project using the following event as a case study: Xcel Energy Company Hydroelectric Tunnel Fire.
1. Watch the following CSB investigation and video simulation: http://www.csb.gov/xcel-energy-company-hydroelectr…
2. Using the Word file, summarize the event and determine what went wrong. Provide at least a one-page description. Use your own words to summarize your analysis. You have to state the problem, identify at least five hazards, and perform a risk assessment. Also, provide your opinion about the control options. Was the PPE a sufficient control option?
Suggested format:
Problem statement
Hazards identification
Risk assessment
3. Complete the Excel document – JHA and Ha Form 2a. Complete the 5X5 scale.
The second file you will need to complete is an Excel file with the identified hazards and risk assessment. Your goal is to identify five (5) hazards, record them on the JHA form. After that, transfer the identified hazards to the PHA form. Next, use the provided (5×5) risk assessment matrix (RAM) to identify the highest ranked risks. You can enter severity and probability rankings using the drop-down menu. The risk level will be automatically calculated and color-coded for your convenience. The risk levels are hyperlinked to the PHA form. The values will be automatically transferred to the PHA form. The first row in the PHA form is completed as an example. You can use it as one of the risks or modify it.
Note: For your convenience, a risk heat map is provided for visualization. The hazards (HAZID) are hyperlinked to the Potential Hazard and HAZ short name cells in PHA form. Youll have to enter the rankings for severity and probability (5×5 scale). The Risk Heat Map tool will provide visualization of the level of risk. Based on the ALARP concept, is the risk acceptable?
