Accident Investigation Assessment 4 Questions
Question 1
Why is it better to apply the multiple causation theory rather than the unsafe acts/unsafe conditions model to an accident investigation? Provide an example that illustrates your point.
Question 2
What is the difference between linear and non-linear accident models? Why are non-linear accident models not used more often in workplace accident investigations?
Question 3
Consider the following accident scenario:
A maintenance worker mopped the floor in a hallway and then left the area without posting a "wet floor" warning. The lighting in the hallway had been lowered to conserve energy, so visibility was poor. Two employees walked down the hallway on their way to lunch, discussing where they wanted to go to eat. One of the employees slipped and fell, suffering a broken wrist.
Discuss how you could apply a domino theory to investigate this accident. You may make additional assumptions about the scenario, as needed, for your discussion.

Discuss how you could apply the Haddon matrix theory to investigate this accident. You may make additional assumptions about the scenario, as needed, for your discussion.

: Calculate the degree of conversion if the feed to an ammonia synthesis reactor is a mixture of N2(g), H2(g) and NH3(g) in the mole ratio 1:3:0.1 at 800 K and 100 bar. Assume that the reaction mixture behaves like an ideal gas.
