CMM92001: Risk and Resilience Engineering Digital Poster Project

This project focuses on risk and resilience engineering, specifically analyzing risks associated with electrical systems. The student identifies the potential for electrical system failures to disrupt normal operations, categorizing the risk as mechanical due to the potential for explosions and property damage. The project references the use of a risk matrix and safety case reports to consolidate learning. The assignment involves creating a digital information poster suitable for all levels within an organization or community. The project highlights the importance of understanding and mitigating risks in technological systems, emphasizing the impact of electrical system failures on individuals and organizations. The project uses a PowerPoint presentation format to deliver the information, incorporating a 5-minute video or audio recording using the Flip Grid app.

2RISK AND RESILIENCE ENGINEERING
Introduction
The evolution of technology has affected the human lives in such a way that the
normal human input to any work has been minimized to a negligible amount. The
technological advances and their inputs to the human lives have provided several benefits, but
at the same time it is not free of risks. In this study, there would be a provision for the
analysis of one of the identified risks from the technological advances and their involvement
in the human lives such that there would be the proper identification and categorization of the
identified risk.
Identification of the risks
According to the identified risks in the discussion before, this study would focus on
the risks where the involvement of the electrical systems has the potential to halt any normal
operation since the system has been acting partially and not up to its full potential.
The types of benefits that the electrical services provide to any process throughout, be
it in an organization or to an individual human, the effects are manifold. The effects are such
that there is a huge scope of operation of the electrical machines where the incorporations of
these systems reduced the human effort by a huge number. However, the electrical systems
are also found to be involving a huge amount of voltage and current for their normal
operations. For example, a transformer is a type of electrical machine that is used for the
lowering and raising the current and voltages within any electrical circuit (Prigmore, Bishop
and Martens 2018). Failing of a transformer can result into huge risks as these have the
potential of affecting heavily to the individual lives and also the organizations causing huge
monetary and workload losses. Failing of any electrical system is similarly risky for any
normal operation that it is being used for.

3RISK AND RESILIENCE ENGINEERING
Categorise the risk into one or any of the following categories:
- Mechanical
According to the discussion relating to the identified risk about the system failure of
an electrical machine, the risk can be categorized as mechanical risk (Parris and Sanderson
2015). This is because, the risk of the system results to the failure of the entire system, even
causing the total failure of the system and the disaster can even lead to explosions and further
loss of operational defects for both an individual and human properties.
Conclusion
Therefore, it can be said that the failure of electrical systems, as an identified risk of
the technical faults can be categorised to a mechanical risk. This is because the failure of the
electrical systems can result to further loss of human properties, operations within an
organization of further technical faults.
