CMM92001: Risk and Resilience Engineering Digital Safety Poster

This project, submitted as part of the CMM92001 Risk and Resilience Engineering course, analyzes the potential risks associated with electrical system failures, specifically focusing on transformers. The assignment addresses the impact of partial or complete failures on both individual users and organizations, including potential mechanical risks, property damage, and loss of life. The solution details proactive mitigation strategies, such as regular inspections, replacement of outdated or low-quality components, and identification of defective parts. The goal of the project is to develop a digital information poster that can be understood at all levels within an organization or community. The project highlights the importance of understanding and managing technological risks to ensure safety and resilience in the face of potential electrical system failures. This assignment is a great example of the kind of high-quality work available on Desklib, a platform offering AI-based study tools and resources for students.

We all are aware of the benefits that technology has provided to the human lives. We enjoy
our daily lives every day and we do not realise how we all are heavily dependent on the
technology, which is required at every step we take in the current time. Now, there is hardly
any being around us who does not begin their day looking at the mobile phones, even before
starting off the day with the minimal daily activities. The manifold benefits that we receive
every day at every step of our day to day activities and even the work we do at our respective
careers are immense. From the handling of huge business operations to utilization of the
telecommunication services for connecting to one another, the scope of the technological
input is huge.
What we do not realise is that the technology is not just providing us with the immense
advantages, but there are also impending risks associated with the system as well. The varied
risks that we have identified from the several associated risks in the technological world that
we enjoy, we would discuss about the failure of the electrical systems.
We have often seen a huge working transformer to either act partially that has caused several
problems in either halting the normal operations or even the failure of any other operation. A
transformer usually is an electrical machine that is used for the transferring of electrical
energy within an electrical circuit system consisting of two or more electrical circuits. What
would the situation if a transformer starts working partially, and does not have enough
functionality potential to control all the situations for handling the power transfer and
successfully access the lowering and raising of the electrical energy from one circuit to
another. Poor decapitation of the power can result into the halting of the work for an entire
system, even maybe for an organization that takes in the utility of transformers to avail their
day to day activities. This is just and example about the transformers. There are several

electrical devices which provide the similar kinds of effects on the individual users and the
even on the highly acclaimed organizations as well.
The associated impact of the electrical machines is such that even if the systems are partially
functioning, and not failing completely, the other systems dependent on their working
functions can be heavily impacted. This is because, any accidents or any incident that might
have led to the halting of the operation can even result to minor or major accidents during the
failure. The impact can even be leading to the loss of human lives or properties. There might
even be chances of possible explosions that might result into huge losses, for an individual
user and even the organizations and their business operations. It is understandable as we all
can imagine how huge can be the impact if the partially operating transformer fails and
causes an explosion. Therefore, as per the risks that it potentially causes to the human lives,
can be categorized as mechanical risks.
We can handle the possibility of the risks that might occur due to the electrical systems
failure and there are several ways by which there would be problematic situations in the
organizations or for the individual users can be strategized to be mitigated. Firstly, we have to
regularly look for the parts of a system that would be used in the electrical system. There
might be occurrences of the machine parts in the electrical machine have gone outdated. Any
identified older mechanical parts should be replaced to avoid any discrepancy in the
functionality of the system.
Secondly, there are several occurrences that specify that the quality products were not used in
the manufacturing of the electrical systems. They have to identified and replaced with the
high-quality parts. Thirdly, the identification of the defective components must be done to
isolate them and replace them with the functional and quality components. Applying all these
possible mitigation strategies, even the minimal errors or potential of failure for the system

can be easily avoided. The partial functioning of the activities for the electrical devices and
machines should be following all these to make sure that there is no way by which the
devices are functioning partially and making negative impacts on the organizations or
individual users. Not being able to handle the benefits of the technological risks by these
electrical machines would result into huge risks jeopardizing the lives of the people and the
properties.
