Risk Management Project 2 

In this project, you will be given the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the risk management concepts covered in this and previous units in the course.  

Select a real or imagined workplace setting that involves hazards created by two or more of the hazard sources discussed in Chapters 14-27 Book: Jensen, R. C. (2012). Risk-reduction methods for occupational safety and health. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons.

Your assignment is to identify and assess the risks in this workplace, propose tactics for reducing the risks, and evaluate the residual risks. Your submission should include the following:

 A brief description of the workplace setting and an explanation of the tasks in this workplace. 

 Identification of hazards and risks in the workplace; Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), or Fault Tree Analysis are to be used, or some combination of these techniques. 

 Assessment of the identified risks before risk reduction efforts are applied, using a 5x5 Risk Assessment Matrix.

 Identification of risk reduction tactics to be applied with a brief justification for each tactic selected; multiple tactics can be applied to each risk if needed. 

 Re-assessment of the risks after tactics are applied, using a 5X5 matrix.

 Discussion of the residual risks, and whether you feel they are at a tolerable level.  

The project must be a minimum of four pages in length, not including the title, abstract, and reference pages. Use APA formatting where applicable.
