Question 1:

Since risk cannot be reduced to zero, the ALARP concept is often applied. What might be some pitfalls to applying this concept?

Your response must be at least 75 words in length.

Question 2:

Review the summary of the ANSI/AIHA. From these descriptions, discuss what you think might be roadblocks to implementing the standard in a typical manufacturing organization. Which sections might prove to be the most challenging?

Your response must be at least 75 words in length.

Question 3:

The stated primary purpose of Z10 is to reduce the risk of occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. As noted in the course text, zero risk is not likely to be achievable, so acceptable risk levels must be defined.

What about a goal of zero injuries? Is that achievable? How does "acceptable" risk affect injury reduction goals? Support your discussion with at least two references.

Your response must be at least 200 words in length.

Question 4:

"Management Leadership and Employee Participation" is the most important section.

Review the descriptions of the other sections of the standard in your textbook, and provide your opinion as to which section might be the second most important. Support your discussion with examples from personal experience and/or additional research.
