Applying Failure Modes, Effects, And Criticality Analysis And Human Reliability Analysis Techniques To Improve Safety Design Of Work Process In Singapore Armed Forces

Abstract

Safety is a very important aspect of any organization because adherence to safety preserves lives, maintains confidence, and boosts productivity. Yet, injuries are not completely avoidable. Therefore, every organization and workplace should have a safety program to minimize the occurrence of injuries. The safety program should include an analysis of potential injuries and associated risk assessments of those injuries.The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) has an instituted safety program that utilizes a generic risk assessment method involving the 5-M (Mission, Man, Machine, Medium and Management) factor method and determines severity, likelihood, and overall level of risk through risk matrices that are similar to the ones depicted in United States Navy operation risk management OPNAV Instruction 3500.39C (Department of the Navy 2010). The Risk Assessment Worksheet (RAW) contains the results of the risk assessment.
