• What is acceptable risk?
• What is risk?

33
Risk

• Risk is an expression of the possibility of a
  mishap in terms of hazard severity and hazard
  probability
• What risk are we willing to accept?

34
A Managers Decision

• In the real world we must choose among the
  following
• Hazards that are physically infeasible to correct
• Hazards that are physically feasible to correct,
  but economically infeasible to correct
• Hazards that are economically and physically
  feasible to correct

35
Case Study 1.1

• Page 3 of text

36
Case Study 1.1

• There is a SH rationale to correct all three
  suggestions
• You need more data to make an informed management
  decision

• OSHA does not call for elimination of all
  hazards, just the ones that are recognized
