PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATION OF SCIENCE

AND TECHNOLOGY IN SAFETY
ELEMENT 3
 LEARNING OUTCOMES
- EXPLAIN PREVAILING NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING METHODS AND THEIR UTILITY
FOR ENSURING SAFETY OF TOOLS AND EQUIPMENTS

- EXPLAIN PREVAILING DESTRUCTIVE TESTING METHODS AND THEIR UTILITY FOR

ENSURING THE SAFETY OF TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

- IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE THE COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS AND THE FREQUENCY OF
INSPECTIONS AND TESTING OF TOOLS AND EQUIPMENTS

- IDENTIFY AND JUSTIFY THE TESTING REQUIREMENTS FOR A BESPOKE DESIGNED

PRODUCT (TOOLS/ EQUIPMENTS)
 LEARNING OUTCOMES
- REVIEW AND IDENTIFY THE TESTING REQUIREMENTS FOR A REFURBISHED/
MODIFIED PRODUCT FOR OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH PROVISIONS

- JUSTIFY THE PREFERENCE OF AN INSPECTION METHOD (FROM CHOICE OF

PREVAILING NDT METHODS OR ANY OTHER PREVAILING DESTRUCTIVE
TESTING METHODS) OVER THE OTHERS IN A GIVEN ENVIRONMENT FOR A
SPECIFIC WORK EQUIPMENT ETC.

- EXPLAIN THE REASONS AND CONTRIBUTORY FACTORS FOR MATERIAL

FAILURES OF TOOLS, EQUIPMENTS OR STRUCTURES LEADING TO UNSAFE
CONDITIONS AT THE WORKPLACES
