Reference no: EM13769513

MOS 5201 uses a custom textbook including only information used in this course, resulting in a more cost-effective textbook than typically available otherwise.

A proposed engineering control is expected to cut the accident rate by 60 percent for a given process. Auditors have estimated cost data for accidents with this process as follows (average cost per accident)

Direct Cost Hidden Cost Freq/Yr

First aid cases                        200                     4000                       9

Med. treatment cases           6000                     9000                       3.5

Lost time cases                     8000                   40000                       1.5

No-injury cases                    none                     4000                      11.0

b. If the proposed engineering control will cost $150,000, does the cost-benefit analysis support funding it? Why or why not?

c. What other factors might support funding the project?
