City Guilds Model Questions Vol1 2020 Engineering Question 12
Practice objective / multiple choice question 12 from the 2020 City Guilds Model Questions Vol1 Engineering examination.
In a workshop a hydraulic press presents a crushing hazard. The estimated probability of an accident occurring in a year is 0.02 and the severity rating (on a scale of 1-10) is 8. The risk rating is calculated as \( R = P \times S \). A risk rating above 0.2 requires additional control measures. Two possible single‑control options are considered: *Engineering control* - reduces the probability by 60 % while leaving severity unchanged. *Administrative control* - reduces the severity by 30 % while leaving probability unchanged. The management wishes to bring the risk rating below 0.1. Which single control should be implemented? Provide the chosen control type.
