Question

video 5: ramp video (7:30)

1. ramp stands for:

a. r
b. a
c. m
d. p

1. are hazards and risks the same thing? (circle one) yes/no
2. fill in the definitions:

a. hazard: any source of potential
b. risk—the likelihood you will be by the
c. example: lightning

1. the ramp protocol

a. step 1: recognize hazards
i. read the
ii. read the
iii. identify any
b. step 2: analyze risk
i. we use the approach
ii. fill in the quadrants below as presented in the video (be sure to label axes!):

Explanation:

1. RAMP commonly stands for Recognize, Analyze, Mitigate, Prepare. So:

• a. R - Recognize
• b. A - Analyze
• c. M - Mitigate
• d. P - Prepare

1. Hazards and risks are not the same. A hazard is a source of potential damage, harm, or adverse health effects. Risk is the likelihood of being harmed by the hazard.

3.

• a. HAZARD: any source of potential damage, harm, or adverse - health effects
• b. RISK - the likelihood you will be harmed by the hazard

4.

• a. Step 1: Recognize hazards
• i. Read the labels
• ii. Read the instructions
• iii. Identify any unsafe conditions
• b. Step 2: Analyze risk
• i. We use the qualitative approach (common in risk - analysis to categorize risks as low, medium, high etc.)
• ii. The quadrants in a risk - analysis matrix are typically labeled with axes such as "Likelihood" (low to high) and "Severity" (low to high), and the quadrants are filled with corresponding risk levels (e.g., low - likelihood, low - severity; low - likelihood, high - severity; high - likelihood, low - severity; high - likelihood, high - severity).

Answer:

1. a. Recognize

b. Analyze
c. Mitigate
d. Prepare

1. NO
2. a. damage, harm, adverse health effects

b. harmed, hazard

1. a. i. labels

ii. instructions
iii. unsafe conditions
b. i. qualitative
ii. Axes: Likelihood (low - high), Severity (low - high). Quadrants: Low - likelihood, low - severity; Low - likelihood, high - severity; High - likelihood, low - severity; High - likelihood, high - severity
