Powered Chair Safety Analysis

Working with one partner perform a safety analysis of the powered chair shown in the image on the left. You can get some additional information about the chair from this short product brochure. If you need information about the design of the chair, you will need to make assumptions about the components on the chair, what sensors are used, how the motor is driven, etc. Identify potential hazards, and faults that might lead to that hazard. Of particular interest are faults and hazards that software in the controller must identify, prevent, mitigate, or some combination of those three. You do not need to specify severity, probability, or an associated risk. Use this exercise worksheet to complete this exercise. Deposit it in the dropbox in myCourses when instructed. Be sure to put your names at the top of the page.
