for this given information below solve question 1 and 2 and give the procedure of solving?
Fatal accident rate (FAR)
The FAR is used mostly by the British chemical industry. The FAR reports the number of fatalities based on 1000
employees working their entire lifetime. The employees are assumed to work a total of 50 years. Thus the FAR is
based on 108 working hours. The resulting equation is
FAR =Numberoffatalities108Totalhoursworkedbyallemployeesduringperiodcovered
Fatality rate, or deaths per person per year
This system reports only the number of fatalities expected per person per year. This approach is useful for
performing calculations on the general population, where the number of exposed hours is poorly defined. The
applicable equation is
Fatality rate or deaths per person per year =NumberoffatalitiesperyearTotalnumberofpeopleinapplicablepopulation
An employee works in a plant with a FAR of 4. If this employee works a 4-hr shift, 200 days per
year, what are the expected deaths per person per year?
(Ans: 3.2*10-5)
Three process units are in a plant. The units have FARs of 0.5,0.3, and 1.0, respectively.
a) What is the overall FAR for the plant, assuming worker exposure to all three units
simultaneously?
b) Assume now that the units are far enough apart that an accident in one would not affect the
workers in another. If a worker spends 20% of his time in process area 1,40% in process area
2, and 40% in process area 3, what is his overall FAR?
(Ans: a.1.8 deaths/year, FAR =0.62 deaths ?108hrs)
