of information and material you have used (including the internet) have been fully
identified and properly acknowledged as required 1. Additionally, the work presented has
not been submitted for any other assessment. You also understand that the Faculty
reserves the right to investigate allegations of plagiarism or unfair practice which, if
proven, could result in a fail in this assessment and may affect your progress.
Intellectual Property and Retention of Student Work:
You understand that the University will retain a copy of any assessments submitted

Part B: Marking and Assessment

(to be completed by Module Lecturer)
Assessment Task:

This assignment gives you the opportunity to explore the influence of safety management in
engineering organisations.

Select an event or events, which, due to a poor risk management caused a significant health and
safety incident or accident. Investigate the influence that the approach to risk management had in
the event, using and applying theory and literature and appropriate legislation.

Prepare a report critiquing the incident. Discuss the reasons for the accident, giving your view on
the failings that occurred. Discuss the approaches that you believe could have prevented the
event, giving reasons from literature and theory as to back this up.

Word count: 3000 words

Remember to engage with literature and critique it as you apply it and develop your own
conclusions from it.

It is important that the focus is on critique of theory and your analysis of the event. Please
avoid using a lot of your word count on describing the event and the conclusions of
others.

The lecture material gives you areas to explore, and it is expected you will explore these areas
and go beyond what has been covered in lectures in your own research.

Learning Outcomes to be assessed (as specified in the validated module descriptor

https://icis.southwales.ac.uk/ ):

Understand, manage, and critically apply the safety, health and environmental principles in the
engineering workplace

Grading Criteria:

The grade will be a combination of the following:

- Literature and case study research - 30%

- Critique of theory - 30%
- Application of theory - 30%
Presentation and referencing 10%

Performance Criteria
Level
Fail Insufficient evidence of relevant research undertaken.
(<40%) Insufficient application of theory.
Report lacking in originality. Insufficient evidence of engagement with and
critiquing of theory and application.
3rd Class / PASS Limited evidence of relevant research undertaken.
(40%-49%) Limited application of theory.
Little originality in the report with only limited evidence of basic level of
engagement with and critiquing of theory and application.
Lower 2nd Class / Relevant referenced research, but limited discussion.
PASS Application of theory to context being studied.
Theory and application discussed, but needing more depth of analysis.
(50%-59%) Originality in report with some evidence of engagement with and critiquing
of theory and application.
Upper 2nd Class / Relevant referenced research undertaken and discussed with significant
MERIT depth in the discussion.
Application of theory to context being studied.
(60%-69%) Theory and application discussed, with evidence of depth of analysis in
some areas.
Significant evidence of originality in the report. Handling and critique of
theory and application demonstrates a depth of understanding.
1st Class / Relevant referenced research undertaken and discussed with significant
DISTINCTION depth in the discussion to a very high standard.
Application of theory to context being studied to a level that demonstrates
(70% +) a deep understanding of the subject.
Evidence of originality throughout the report. Handling and critique of
theory and application demonstrates a very strong depth of understanding.
