Can the creator of a system conduct a Safety Check on that system?

The correct choice emphasizes the importance of having a fresh or unbiased perspective when conducting a Safety Check on a system. While the creator has a deep understanding of how the system works, they may also be unconsciously influenced by their own design choices, assumptions, and potential blind spots. A different individual, with an outsider’s view, may be more likely to identify issues or hazards that the creator overlooked due to familiarity or assumptions made during the design process.

Procedures like Safety Checks are most effective when conducted by someone who can approach the system critically and without preconceived notions. This helps ensure a comprehensive evaluation that can enhance safety and performance by discovering overlooked faults or risks.

Other options, while they may contain some merit, do not convey this critical perspective on the importance of independent review for safety assessments.
