               Case Study: Field Severity Assessment



               Field Severity Assessment is a management method for           Observations recorded during FSA Process:
               identifying high-risk process areas that require special attention
               throughout the plant. A cross-functional team, chosen based on   Number of Good citizen (A)
               their competence,  overlooks identified areas and evaluates     Number of worker observed (B)
               safety implementation for both at-risk behaviour and unsafe    Weightage factor considered for good observations (C) - S
               conditions. The team counts the number of dangerous working
               conditions, safe working conditions, people at risk, people working   Average severity of violations (D)
               safely, and so on, and the score is determined according to the   Weightage factor considered for violations (E) - S
               formula detailed below.  Improvement areas are identified based
               on the Field Survey Index (FSI), and appropriate actions are taken
               to improve safety standards and reduce risks.



               Field Severity Index (for the area) = FSI (Good)+FSI (Violations) = (A*C/B) + (E-D)

                =  (No. of Good Citizen *Weightage factor for good observation)  + (Weightage factor for violations - Average severity violation)
                               Number of worker observed


                               = 9 to 10           Excellent
                               = 8 to 9            Good
                  F
                  S            = 6 to 8            Satisfactory
                  I            = 4 to 6            Poor

                               Below 4             Very poor

               Note: In case no person is abserved in the work area during the FSA process. FSI (Good) data will be taken as previous month data.




               Confined space fitness testing facility



               Working in a confined space is a high-risk activity. Various measures
               have been taken to reduce the risk of entering confined spaces and
               operating in them, while making the necessary rescue plans. One of
               the most serious considerations of operating in confined spaces is the
               worker's or employee's fitness to do so. JPL has created an in-house
               Confined Space Fitness Testing Facility to determine whether a person
               is fit to work in confined spaces. To perform the physical fitness test,
               the applicant must first undergo medical examinations for blood
               pressure and make a compulsory declaration regarding any previous
               history of phobia to closed spaces.
