Question

(i) What are the limitations of quantitative (based on statistics) inspections of plant safety?

State the reasons for the preference of qualitative plant safety inspections.

(ii)Give examples of methods by which hazard levels may be limited in industry.

(iii)explain your understanding of initiating and contributing hazards resulting in injury and damage of a pressurized steel tank.

Answer 1

Quantitative safety analysis can only provide information regarding statistics that are implemented in the respective operating environment. Quantitative analysis does not look through the aspect of Words mean ethical or unethical or any specific possible damage that could occur. And safety should only be dependent on qualitative analysis as human prevention is necessary to understand the criteria of safety which cannot be obtained by any kind of quantitative analysis. Due to excessive availability of quantitative analysis tools overall implementation of the structure where proper analysis can only be done by human intervention.

Statistical and quantitative plant safety analysis provide information based on the required data which is usually done at the previous state. Qualitative analysis can be done actively which directly increases the overall reliability of the safety implementation of any organisation as manufacturing plants are prone to ever changing environment of operation where consistent availability of understanding safety standards are very necessary. Implementation of corrective measures on the basis of the intensity of specific criteria implemented in the specific organisational structure would also be one of the main approaches that is used in the respective environment.
