This group of failure modes relates to degrading of equipment which will lead to impacting on the performance of mobile (and ancillary) equipment. The types of failure mode identified include:
- Loss of visibility – due to degrading of lighting, signage and/or identification markings;
- Failure of important components during operations;
- Absence or failure of communications equipment;
- Compromised (no, or wrong) signal from monitoring systems;
- Damage or disabling of safety devices (seat belts and airbags).
The business inputs recommended/identified as addressing these problems are listed.
