A closed action with no physical change
A factory records a recurring guard access problem and assigns it a high score in its own supplied matrix. The corrective action owner changes the spreadsheet cell to green after sending an email, but the guard and task remain unchanged. A second record lists three independent barriers even though all depend on the same unverified sensor and power supply. Injury counts fell last month, yet workers say minor incidents are often not reported. A review team must explain the difference between scoring, actual barrier effectiveness and verified closure. No universal statutory risk threshold is supplied, and the exercise does not authorize any operating change or waive the need for competent engineering review.
1. What response is supported by the supplied facts?
Read the worked answer
Assess the actual hazard and shared failure paths, implement effective measures and verify the result before closing the action.
2. What must not be inferred from this written scenario?

It does not authorize hazardous work or establish complete practical competence. Apply actual competent assessment, current requirements and the relevant site arrangements before real action.
