Risk Management
 12

Safety plan
Safety is one of the most important things while dealing with a project. We have
to assess all the risks associated with the project and find out a solution for that.
This document deals with the construction, design and testing of the project. The
3 stages of risk and hazards for the Mars rover.

Hazard identification
The accompanying can be characterized or clarified as:

Hazards The source of the harm

Risks The events that might happen from the hazards

Likelihood How much likely is the risk to happen

Severity The rate of the damage that affects the project

Mitigation - Methodologies to limit or dispense with the dangers

Philips head screw driver
Scissor
Pliers
Ruler
Pencil, pen and permanent marker
 19

4.0 Construction Sequence

*Refer to the diagram illustrated above and the design package if necessary for
assistance*
4.1 Main chassis
A) Using a ruler, measure exactly 210mm in length of the pine wood (MC) and mark a line
horizontally with a pen or pencil.

B) Next, cut the length marked in step 4.1a) using an electric jigsaw. Maintain a straight line
of action using the pen or pencil markings as an accurate guide.

C) Lastly, use an 80 to 150 grit sandpaper to smoothen out any sharp edges or rough cuts to
reduce the risk of injury. This can be done by moving the sandpaper horizontally back and
forth against the area required for treatment.
 20

4.2 Construction of axles and/ or wheel bearings

A) Place a washer (WS1) into one of the screws (S1). Repeat this step (4.2a) for the rest of
the screws (S2-4) and washers (WS2-4). Store them somewhere safe as they will be
required for later use.

B) Next, to make the wheel axles (AB1-4), measure, using a ruler 25mm in length of the
tube and mark the length with a permanent marker.

C) From the marking in the previous step, cut the tube using a saw. This can be done by
placing the tube on a hard surface such as a brick. Try to make a clean, straight cut by
making sure the force is being applied as vertical as possible.

D) Any rough edges left may be smoothened by using 80- 150 grit sandpaper as used in
4.1c). Repeat steps 4.2b) to 4.2d) for the remaining axles or bearings (AB2-4).

E) Lastly, use pliers to hold the axle or bearing (AB1) firmly into place but do not press too
hard so the tube cracks. Use a Philips head screw driver and tighten the screw (S1) used in
4.2a) with the washer through the bearing. Tighten until the washer is no longer able to
move freely. Repeat this step (4.2e) for the remaining screws (S2-4) and axles or bearings
(AB2-4).

4.3 Attachments of wheels to wood body

A) Use a ruler to measure the height of the main chassis (MC) to 9.5mm (roughly half the
total height of the main chassis) and use a pen or pencil to create a line that goes
horizontally throughout the chassis at 9.5mm in height. Repeat this step (4.3a) for the other
side of the chassis as well.

B) Place one of the wheels (W1) on any side of the chassis where the pen or pencil markings
were just made in step 4.3a). Position the edge of the wheel (W1) to be roughly the same as
the end of the main chassis. To help with this it would be recommended to use a ruler
placed vertically at the end of the main chassis (MC) and use it as a guide until the edge of
 21

the wheel (W1) touches the ruler. Use a pen to mark the inside of the wheel (W1) where
the screws will be drilled.

C) While still holding the wheel (W1) in place, drill the screw (S1) that was assembled in
step 4.2e) inside the wheel (W1) until the wheel is loosely in contact with the side of the
chassis (MC) and the washer (WS1). If there is a little wobble with the wheels that is
completely normal and is part of the design. Repeat steps 4.3b) to 4.3c) for the remaining
wheels (W2-W4) and the other edges of the chassis.

*At this stage you have now constructed the Mars Rover*

4.4 Attaching a load to the rover (water bottle used as an example)

A) Route one end of the pull tie in between the middle of the chassis (MC) and bring it to
the top. Position the pull tie so that it touches against two of the front wheels (W1-W2) and
fasten the pull tie enough so the water bottle is able to fit in between the chassis and pull
tie. Repeat this step (4.4a) for the other pull tie except it is positioned to the two back
wheels (W3-W4).

B) Fasten the pull ties so that the water bottle is no longer able to move and is firmly in
place. Using scissors, cut any excess cord but leave approximately 7cm of cord remaining.

3.0 Criteria explained in detail

3.1 Capabilities

3.1.1 Correct use of equipment:

Contractors for Ingenious Co. are required to have experience and knowledge of the correct
operation of the tools used for the construction of the Mars Lander (Please refer to the
Required Tools section). The correct operation of these tools will result in an excellent
finished product which Ingenious Co. holds at high priority for its reputation. Evidence must be
submitted in the form of photos, videos which shows correct operation of these tools and
previous specification report of their handling of tools.

Marks will be allocated out of 10 for the teams which has the (Most experience/ Lacking
experience/No experience).

3.1.2 Sufficient Staff

Ingenious Co. requires a sufficient staff of talented individuals who are enthusiastic to work
together in a professional manner to construct the Mars Lander. Evidence of a sufficient staff
who will be undertaking the project will be submitted through the previous projects and work
experiences as a team by showing photos, videos and any type of written evidence is
acceptable.

Marks allocated out of 10 according to how effectively the contractors have come together as a
team to construct a project( Very effective/ Moderately effective staff/ not effective).

3.2 Knowledge

3.2.1 Understanding of a designing software

The team at Ingenious Co. has put together a design which consists of 2D and 3D drawings
(Refer to the drawings Package) with its precise dimensions and methods of construct using an
advance engineering design software SolidWorks. Having good understanding of the Mars
Lander design, drawings and method of construct would be the key to produce an excellent
finished product. A successful tendered would have a sound knowledge of at least one
designing/drawing software which they have used for designing purposes. Evidence can be
presented in the form of photos of previous designs and dimensioning they have performed,
videos of a group member working on a design using a drawing software. Please refer to the
table below for other designing software accepted by Ingenious Co.
 25

AutoCAD Google Sketch Up Sculptris

3.2.2 Other designing software

Marks will be allocated to the tendering teams out of 10 considering criteria such as ( Good
understanding of a designing software/ Moderate understanding/ No understanding.

3.3 Experience

3.3.1 Experience using simple workshop tools

The construction of this project requires capable staff with sufficient knowledge of simple
workshop tools (refer to required tools). A successful contractor would show that they have an
experienced group of individuals to perform this task safely as the safety of the constructing
team is a high priority for us. A team who is experienced in the operation of these simple tools
in a correct and safe manner will be the team eligible for the construction of the Mars Lander as
lack of experience could have risk of injury to the hands by unsafe use of the hammer and the
nails. (refer back to the safety Plan).

Evidence must be submitted or shown in the form of photos along with written evidence which
may be helpful.

Marks awarded out of 15 against criteria such as (Very experienced/ little experience/ No
experience according to the evidence provided.

3.3.2 Experience operating electrical tools:

The use of an electric drill to drill the holes for the axle and possibly an electric circular saw to
cut the wood will be needed for the construction (refer to construction tools), It is a high
priority for a successful team to show that they have staff on hand who have enough
knowledge and experience at handling power tools to perform tasks successfully and safely.
Electrical tools can be a hazard in a work environment if not handled correctly and can have a
potential risk of injury due to electrocution from tampered power lines and injury to the body
due to incorrect operation of the tools. We enquire a team who has experience at correct
handling and operation of power tools to construct the Mars Lander.

Evidence of experience of power tools must be submitted in the form of photos and videos
showing a safe workshop environment, accessibility to correct power tools and handling of the
tools in a correct and safe manner.

Marks will be awarded out of 15 for experience in electrical tools/ not much experience/ no
experience.
 26

3.4 Organisation

3.4.1 Deadlines
The contractors required by Ingenious Co. are to be very committed and organised as we want
the project to be completed by a designated deadline. The contractors must arrive on time for
the team meetings of the construction days and are also required to submit weekly progress
reports to Ingenious Co. every Mondays before commencement of work. Contractors are
preferred to have had experience at a job outside of university as this will indicate responsibility
and experience under supervision.

Marks are allocated out of 10 to teams who can show screenshots of on time submissions of
previous projects or assessments and teams who can show previous employments through
work emails, or pictures of uniforms.

Criteria are (Submission 24 hours before deadline/ 12 hours before deadline/ 6 hours or less
before deadline or submitted late).

3.4.2 Precision and High Quality

Attention to detail and accuracy is the key tool to succeed in the construction of the Mars
Lander. The Mars Lander car is just a working prototype but it is an extremely precise piece of
machinery and we at Ingenious Co. are striving to achieve precision and the highest quality in
the construction stage for the completion of a successful project. It is desired that a successful
tenderer has had previous experience working with small scale projects. Evidence should be
provided to the Ingenious Co. team by showing photos of previous construction and
specification reports. Marks will be awarded for the precision and the quality of the
construction for the previous projects out of 10.
 27

3.5 Communication

3.5.1 Contractor Response Time

Prompt and regular contact with the contractor during the construction and the Tender
Evaluation Stage is very important to Ingenious Co. If contacted by an Ingenious Co. member
either via telephone, text, or email the contractor is expected to respond immediately with at
least a sentence related directly to the enquiry. We also expect a quick response time of
maximum one working day within the hours of 8:30 am to 5pm Monday to Fridays.

Marks are allocated out of 10 according to the criteria such as (Responds within 12 hours/ 1
working day/2 working day or 3 working day.

3.5.2 Professional Staff Interaction

We at Ingenious Co. require a team which has excellent communication skills and professional
staff interactions which we believe would set an environment for a successful completion of the
Mars Lander. Good communication amongst team members will lead to a better understanding
of our designs.

We would also like to point out that the team at Ingenious Co. are still up for suggestions from
the contractors regarding the designs if the tendering contractors can provide a detailed
breakdown of the designs.

Evidence of a good communicative team can be provided to us by providing a report of a

previous project which they have put together as a team. Marks will be allocated according to
how well the report has been put together as a team.

Stage One Design Package

Marks are awarded out of 10 for teams who has provided a (Excellent report/ Good report/
average report or poor report

The team who scores the highest out of 100 based on the criteria indicated above will be
chosen as the team who will construct the Mars Lander in cooperation with Ingenious Co.
