Role-Readiness Proof / Capstone
Design a safety-assurance package for a real or simulated automated equipment/process launch: hazard register and task/JHA; standards/code matrix; preliminary risk assessment; machine/electrical and LOTO safeguards; PHA/MOC where relevant; FMEA/FTA or equivalent system-safety analysis; FAT/SAT and commissioning checks; incident/root-cause simulation; leading/lagging metrics; emergency controls; residual-risk acceptance; and an executive readiness memo.
Proof Rubric
- Prove design-out-first judgment and traceable hazard-to-control logic
