Category
Title: Does the title indicate (clearly and sufficiently) what the paper is
about?
Introduction: Does the introduction section clearly and briefly describe
the purpose and the importance of the project? The rest of the paper
should follow through from this introduction. The importance should
explain the significance of the tools used in the project, and how they
related to the management systems.
Content: Does the paper provide a complete and accurate discussion
using the workbook tools and the CSB case? Does it demonstrate
critical thinking when evaluating how decisions were made? Are the
conclusions explained and backed by reasons? The length requirement
is 10 pages. This includes the title page and the works cited page. In
essence, the student should have 7-8 pages of text.
Conclusion: Are the main ideas summarized? Are the conclusions
related to the project? Are some wider implications drawn from this study
as well as the impact on S&H management practices? Explain how the
project material will be applied in practice.
Organization and Quality of writing: The writing style must
demonstrate a linear progression of thought. Is the paper written in a
technical format? Are the sentences clear? They must flow in logical
order to make a persuasive business case as well as adequately explain
the “big ideas”.
Spelling: Are there spelling errors in the text? Any grammatical errors,
typos, or incomplete sentences? If errors become distracting to the
reader, points will be deducted.
Citations: Are in-text citations appropriately used to credit all material
from other sources? The works cited page/bibliography should also
accurately reflect all sources used.
Bibliography: Are all citations listed? Are they appropriately distributed
among web sites, peer reviewed journals, and other sources? Use APA
format.

Semester Project Paper
Paper Project Requirements (100 points)
Student will select a process (select CSB case or a system to analyze
using one or multiple of the system-safety analysis techniques discussed).
Student is expected to complete the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Identify hazards
Determine the system boundaries
Subdivide the system into individual components
Analyze the system
Identify top three (3) hazards or potential hazards
Define expected causes
Define the expected consequences
Identify risk level (quantitatively if possible)
Develop recommendations for corrective measures
Student is required to use the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis. You can
also use and support paper with other analysis techniques discussed
during course.
Student should focus on system engineering and mechanical issues but
some human factors can be used.
Student shall research incident and supporting materials.
Student is expected to submit a paper in the following format:
•
•
•
•
•
Introduction – Executive Summary
Current State – Identify top three hazards
System Safety Tool Use and Description – Risk Assessment
Recommendations for Corrective Measures – Hierarchy of Controls
System Safety tools – Risk Assessment of hazards with applied
Corrective Measures
• Risk Reduction – explanation of reduction methods
• Description of Analytical Methods Used
• Work Sheets, etc. of Analysis Results (these will be figures added to
the body of your report and appendices)
• Conclusions
• References (Use APA format)
The length requirement is 10 pages. This includes the title page and the
works cited page. In essence, the student should have 7-8 pages of text.
Diagrams of analysis techniques can be place within the paper. I would
prefer analysis techniques to be attached in landscape form You will
receive up to two pages of requirement for attachments.
Paper can include title page, works cited page, two pages of attachments
and 5-6 pages of text.

Suggested Project Paper Topics
Student may use information from the Chemical Safety Board CSB or other references.
Supporting videos maybe found on YouTube as well as CSB site. If you select one of the major
disasters focus on a particular system and define the scope of your review. Do not reproduce
material used for other courses as instructors share information.
