Topic > Hazard and Risk Assessment - 766

6.1 Hazard and Risk Assessment A hazard is a potential, adverse health harm or harm that can affect something or someone under any condition. Aside from that, the risk can be high or low and that someone can get harmed depending on the dangers. Risk assessment is a practice that helps improve the quality of the development process and manufacturing process. It is also a step to examine product failure modes in order to achieve higher standards of product safety and reliability. Unfortunately, it is common for product safety risk assessments not to be undertaken or not carried out effectively by the manufacturer. In most cases, a dangerous and unreliable product has been produced and launched on the market. Therefore, safety problems are mostly identified after an accident has occurred or after production problems have arisen. To prevent risks, a person should take sufficient precautions or should do more to prevent them because the user should be protected from harm usually caused by a failure for those who have not taken reasonable control measures.6.2 Common risk/failure of water taps Water Modes and RisksThe water tap has become an important part for home, business and even buildings. Nowadays modern water taps are well designed and can last a long time, but they depend on the types of materials. Many people would prefer to replace the design during the renovation. There are many reasons that cause water faucet failure modes. Hazards/Failure Modes Hazards Occur Ways to Prevent Leaks and Drips Cause Noisy Sounds Install New Parts and Replace Damaged Parts Sharp Edges Cause Minor Injuries or Accidental Cuts Make Perfect and Good Finish to the Product Corrosion Health Problems or May Cause cancer problems. Select the best resistance......center of the paper......corroded part. In addition to this, replacing the new component would also minimize the effects of corrosion. Replacing materials will not change the corrosiveness of the water. In other words, it helps minimize risk. Corrosive water will generally corrode all faucet components, including water heaters and other water fixtures. Even a faucet with a hot surface could cause scalding burns. Scald burns are the most common injuries. To prevent this, choose the best materials that can withstand the heat and temperature of the water flow. For example, choosing the best materials, such as brass and nickel. The metal is resistant to corrosion, fatigue and also thermal conductivity which makes it suitable for use in household appliances or buildings. But ordinary tap water will have different heat resistance.
