This group of failure modes relates to poor equipment specifications impacting on the performance of mobile (and ancillary) equipment. The types of failure mode identified include:
- Error provocative or non-error tolerant equipment being deployed;
- Visibility of and/or sightlines from mobile equipment is less than optimal;
- Not requiring/fitting alarms and other available warning devices;
- Poor requirements for set points on overload/over-speed alarms/systems.
The business inputs recommended/identified as addressing these problems are listed.
