UNIT 2

PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATION OF SCIENCE

AND TECHNOLOGY IN SAFETY
ELEMENT 9
 LEARNING OUTCOMES
- EXPLAIN THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ENGINEERING CONTROL OPTIONS AGAINST THE
KNOWN OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH HAZARDS

- EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EXISTING ENGINEERING CONTROLS DEPLOYED IN

THE ORGANIZATION

- PRESENT A CASE TO THE TOP MANAGEMENT FOR COST AND BENEFIT ANALYSIS
FOR DEPLOYING ENGINEERING CONTROLS AGAINST A NUMBER OF KNOWN
HAZARDS

- EXPLAIN SUITABLE ENGINEERING CONTROLS FOR A RANGE OF EQUIPMENTS THAT

ARE KNOWN TO HAVE A POTENTIAL EXPLOSION HAZARD
 LEARNING OUTCOMES
- OUTLINE THE ENGINEERING CONTROL OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR A RANGE OF
HAZARDS

- ASSESS THE SITUATIONS AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS ON OH&S WHERE

ENGINEERING CONTROLS MAY FAIL

- DESIGN THE REQUIREMENT OF REDUNDANT ENGINEERING CONTROLS AGAINST

SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS
 SIGNIFICANCE OF ENGINEERING CONTROL

 QUIZ
WHY ENGINEERING CONTROLS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE MOST
VIABLE OPTIONS FROM HIERARCHY OF CONTROL PERSPECTIVE?
 EFFECTIVENESS OF ENGINEERING CONTROL

- THE SELECTION OF ENGINEERING CONTROL OPTIONS FOR A SPECIFIC HAZARD

- THE SECOND ASPECT IN SELECTION OF ENGINEERING CONTROLS IS THEIR USE IN A SPECIFIC
WORK ENVIRONMENT

- MAINTENANCE OF ENGINEERING CONTROLS

- FOOL PROOFING OR TAMPER PROOFING

- ROBUST AND RUGGED

- QUALITY OF MATERIALS/ COMPONENTS USED
- ANY MODIFICATIONS AND ALTERATIONS IN THE ENGINEERING CONTROLS
 QUIZ
OUTLINE THE FACTORS YOU WILL CONSIDER BEFORE DEPLOYING
ENGINEERING CONTROLS FOR A SPECIFIC HAZARD/S AT THE
WORKPLACE

CLASS ACTIVITY
TRAINER WILL GIVE YOU A RANGE OF HAZARDS. YOU
WILL NEED TO PROVIDE DETAILS OF ANY ENGINEERING
CONTROL YOU THINK WILL BE EFFECTIVE FOR THE TYPE OF
HAZARDS. YOU MUST PROVIDE DETAILED EXPLANATION OF
ENGINEERING CONTROLS WITH COST AND BENEFITS AS
WELL
 ARE ENGINEERING CONTROL FAIL SAFE?
