-Using the 5 step process, assess the risk involved with a specific scenario related to ground transportation.

-Describe the System - 1 Paragraph explaining the scope of your risk assessment (e.g. pedestrian safety on LU campus).

-Identify Hazards - List (in paragraph form) at least 10 hazards. (E.g. Cars, scooters, ice on sidewalks, etc.)

-Analyze Risk - Select at least 3 risks derived from some of the hazards and explain the reasonable severity and likelihood of that risk using the Risk Matrix in chapter 2 (e.g. the severity of being run over by a car is severe because this would likely cause severe, potentially life threatening injury. The likelihood of an individual being run over by a car is improbable, however, because it is unlikely to occur to most students).

-Assess the Risk - determine whether the risk is already acceptable using existing mitigations/best practices (e.g. the risk of being run over by a car is mitigated by having a pedestrian breezeway physically separated from road traffic, and by using sidewalks and crosswalks throughout campus. This risk is low enough to be acceptable with existing mitigations).

-Mitigate the Risk - propose at least one additional mitigation for one of the risks assessed in order to lower the severity and/or likelihood of the risk occurring. (E.G. requiring pedestrians to look both ways before using a crosswalk would mitigate the likelihood of a collision by increasing situational awareness).

Risk Management for Fatigued Drivers

Risk Management for Fatigued Drivers

The risk assessment that is discussed in this paper is the risk of a sleep deprived and fatigued student driving on the Liberty University campus. It will be a risk assessment based on a student who stayed up half the night working on a school project for his/her class that begins at 8:15 a.m. the next morning. An individual who has gotten a few hours of sleep has been proven to have a reduction in their reflexes and decision making while driving (Yegneswaran, 2007). There are a number of hazards and risks that are present when an individual drives sleep deprived and fatigued.

Hazards

There is a long list of hazards that are present in the scope of the risk explained in the paragraph above. The hazards include: other cars, pedestrians, lamp posts, scooters, skateboarders, ditches, buildings, sidewalks, telephone poles, and the traffic circle.

Risk Matrix

There are several risks that come from the long list of hazards that are present for a sleep deprived and fatigued student. One of the risks to analyze is the risk of traveling into an intersection with a red light and being hit by another car. The severity of hitting another car or being hit by another car while traveling through an intersection is severe due to the probability of loss of life. There is a low likelihood of this accident happening to a student at Liberty University due to the improbability of running a red-light on campus. Another risk is the risk of the student veering off the road into a ditch after their eyes have been closed for an extended period of time. The severity of veering off the road into a ditch can cause serious injury but in most cases would cause more damage to the car and not to the student, making the severity minor or major. The likelihood of veering off the road as a sleep deprived student would be occasional to remote.

2

Another risk that comes from the many hazards is the risk of hitting a student riding a Bird scooter around campus. The severity of losing focus and hitting a Bird scooter as it drives on the side of the road is major to severe. There is a big probability of loss of life on the side of the Bird student driver. The likelihood of this accident occurring seems to be in the improbable and remote sections of the risk matrix.

Previous Mitigations

The fact of sleep deprived and fatigued drivers is nothing new to the travel industry and there has been a couple ways to try and mitigate the risk. One way they are trying to mitigate the risk is advertising campaigns for the warning of driving while tired. Another route to help mitigate the risk is the function of caffeine energy drinks to give the driver a quick boost to keep them awake. The risk of driving while sleep deprived and fatigued has been proven to be just almost as dangerous as driving while under the influence. This problem is something that doesn’t have many mitigations in place and there will need to be better ways to mitigate the risk in the future.

Mitigations

One way to possibly help mitigate the risk of sleep deprived and fatigued students is to require a certain amount of sleep out of their students. As well as making it clear to students the dangers of driving while sleep deprived and fatigued. To set up a public campaign on the campus to help show what can happen to the student and help prevent major accidents from happening on campus.
