Learning Outcome: Identify and communicate Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) considerations of stakeholders and principles of safety in design

Safety by design activity

Conduct a safety-based FMEA for your team's machine. This could be based on your final prototype design or the design of your machine at any particular stage of the concept (e.g. based on the concept submitted for the Project Gateway Task).

This task is based on Exercise 4 in Studio 9 (refer to Week 4 in the Learning Plan Module). Refer to the Studio 9 slides and video recording for further details.

Your aim is to demonstrate that you understand how to apply the design for safety approach discussed (in the form of the FMEA table), identify high priority safety risks and identify actions to reduce or eliminate those safety risks. Remember that these are the safety-based risks that are related to the operation/use of your machine. These are not the risks associated with general failure modes for the machine, or the risks associated with the manufacture of your machine. The risks associated with manufacture should be covered in your team-based project safety assessment (PSA) form that you completed for Assessment Task 3.

To minimize your workload, you only need to identify 3-5 of the most important risks. Where appropriate, you should include some images to allow the teaching team to understand the risks identified.
