3. FORMULACION DE PREGUNTAS

Learning new meanings:

Review the following meanings and match the words with the appropriate concept related to some
Osha list of Hazards and description.

Excavation (Collapse) A chemical that exposes a person by absorption

through the skin, inhalation, or through the
bloodstream that causes illness, disease, or
death. The amount of chemical exposure is
critical in determining hazardous effects. Check
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and/or
OSHA 1910.1000 for chemical hazard
information.
Electrical (Shock/Short Circuit) Contact with exposed conductors or a device that
is incorrectly or inadvertently grounded, such as
when a metal ladder comes into contact with
power lines. 60Hz alternating current (common
house current) is very dangerous because it can
stop the heart.
Chemical (Toxic) Soil collapse in a trench or excavation as a result
of improper or inadequate shoring. Soil type is
critical in determining the hazard likelihood
Ergonomics (Human Error) A chemical that, when exposed to a heat ignition
source, results in combustion. Typically, the
lower a chemical's flash point and boiling point,
the more flammable the chemical. Check MSDS
for flammability information.
Explosion (Over Pressurization) Use of electrical power that results in electrical
overheating or arcing to the point of combustion
or ignition of flammables, or electrical component
damage..
A system design, procedure, or equipment that is
error-provocative. A switch goes up to turn
Ergonomics (Strain) something off.
Explosion (Chemical Reaction) Damage of tissue due to over exertion (strains
and sprains) or repetitive motion.

Electrical (Fire) A chemical that, when it comes into contact with

skin, metal, or other materials, damages the
materials. Acids and bases are examples of
corrosives
The moving or rubbing of wool, nylon, other
synthetic fibers, and even flowing liquids can
Electrical (Loss of Power) generate static electricity. This creates an excess
or deficiency of electrons on the surface of
material that discharges (spark) to the ground
resulting in the ignition of flammables or damage
to electronics or the body's nervous system.
 Chemical Self-explanatory.
(Corrosive)

Electrical (Static/ESD) Safety-critical equipment failure as a result of

loss of power.

Chemical (Flammable) Sudden and violent release of a large amount of

gas/energy due to a significant pressure
difference such as rupture in a boiler or
compressed gas cylinder.

3.1 Reading about Risks at your workshop:

Now review What risks do you take? conversation, read through it closely and answer the
questions taking into account the reading.

What risks do you take?

Scene: A student bar.

Four first year students are gathered around a table. They have only just started college and are
trying to get to know one another. Jack is studying Physics and thinks he knows it all. He met Heidi
(who is studying Media Studies) when she turned up at Climbing Club to see what it was like. Jack
reckons he is a pretty good climber and so offered to ‘show Heidi the ropes’. Laila is a mathematician
and the final member of the group is Liam, a mechanical engineer whose only interests seem to be
powerful bikes and war gaming. Perhaps surprisingly, Liam has asked Laila out three times so far –
Laila has unsurprisingly refused on each occasion.

-Jack: So, at the top of the climb we just sat down, took off the climbing gear and had a smoke.
-Heidi: (sarcastically) You must have looked cool.
-Jack: Certainly did, and when we got back down we had a few drinks in the bar – can’t remember
much of the next day.
-Laila: Aren’t you worried about the damage to your health of all that smoking and drinking?
-Jack: Who are you, my mum? Look, the risk in climbing is much bigger than anything else so I may
as well smoke or drink as much as I like. I suppose you’re also going to tell me that the rock face I
climbed was only ten miles from Sella field so I might get irradiated.
-Laila: You were getting irradiated at a small level – it is just whether you think the risk is worth it.
-Jack: Look, the Chernobyl accident will only cause fifty or so deaths in Britain over the next few
decades. The risk due to nuclear power is tiny.
-Liam: I know all about risk – I have to calculate it all the time in gaming.
-Heidi: (sarcastically) Yeah, just how risky is fighting an orc armed with a scimitar?
-Liam: Very funny. For your information, my orcs don’t use scimitars, they use straight blades.
-Laila: What about your bike? Riding one of those things is dangerous.
-Liam: I live life on the edge – why don’t you come to the edge with me one day, Laila?
-Laila: I don’t think I had better – the ‘risk’ of me jumping off to get away from you would be too great.
-Jack: You are more at risk from death by an asteroid than from death in a plane.
-Liam: Yeah, you’re going to tell me that breathing is dangerous.
-Heidi: Well it is if you are breathing in radon, which we all are to a greater or lesser extent. The
concentration is rather greater in Cornwall. Radon kills.
-Jack: No it doesn’t – radon is a gas, breathe it in and you breathe it out. The danger comes from the
 daughter products, which are solids.
-Heidi: Mobile phones are meant to be risky too. That’s because they work by radiation. Just like
nuclear bombs.
-Laila: I don’t think that is quite right, Heidi.
-Jack: Another drink anyone? It is your round Liam.
-Laila: And drinking, of course, dead risky.
-Heidi: And power lines
-Laila: And road travel, air travel and rail travel. All risky.
-Jack: As I say, if you’re a climber the other risks are much less and just don’t matter.
-Liam: I’ll get the drinks.

Answer the next questions:

1. Lists the risks mentioned in the dialogue. Divide these into voluntary risks and involuntary
risks.
R/ voluntary
 Smoke
 Drink
 Radon gas
Involuntary
 Accident
 nuclear risk

2. Put the voluntary risks in order of your opinion of increasing risk.

R/
 drink
 smoke
 radon gas

My opinion about the increasing risk is that this is about the growth of some situation or
disease.

3. Now use your book or websites to attempt to produce an objective list of increasing risks.
Why is this difficult?
R/
 The fast development of the entails the growing risk of the disparity that  could appear among different
regions in.
 There is also a growing risk that certain countries may impose unilateral measures regarding
carbon content on their international trade flows.
 Populations at increased risk include individuals with  weakened immune systems, recent
trauma, or diabetes.
 reduced judicial activity at a time where there is an increased risk of disputes in terms  of civil
law, owing to the extreme weakness

4. Why does Jack show a poor understanding of risk when he says:

“Look, the risk in climbing is much bigger than anything else so I may as well smoke or drink as
much as I like.”

R/ Jack shows that poor understanding because he thinks that the greatest risk he can take is
climbing because he thinks that an accident could happen to him while if he drinks and smokes
 nothing will happen to him not knowing that it is wrong
because drinks and cigarettes are more bad for the health

5. Why is Heidi confused when she equates mobile phones with radioactivity?

R/ Heidy is confused because he is not very clear about the topic he is talking about, so he
makes the comparison between phones and nuclear bombs.
6. Why might Jack say that: “you are more at risk from death by an asteroid than from death in a
plane”?

R/ Jack could say that because he thinks an airplane would be safer than an asteroid.

7. How would you try to persuade people that nuclear power is relatively risk-free?

R/ I would try to persuade people that nuclear energy is relatively risk-free by showing them
studies by experts in the field to provide more assurance that it does not present any type of risk.

8. How would you try to persuade people that nuclear power is an unacceptable risk?

R/ It would try to persuade people that nuclear energy is an unacceptable risk, evidencing
studies by experts on the subject to realize that nuclear energy is bad because it could have
harmful effects on people's health.
