Hirarc Note

The document discusses Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control (HIRARC), which is a process used to identify workplace hazards, assess the risks associated with those hazards, and implement controls to reduce risks. It involves identifying hazards, analyzing risks through methods like job safety analysis, determining risk rates based on severity and likelihood, and controlling risks through a hierarchy of methods from elimination to personal protective equipment. The goal of HIRARC is to enable employers to plan and monitor safety measures to ensure risks are adequately controlled.

Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk

Control (HIRARC)

Dr. Ahmad Nazib Alias


Definition

• Hazard means a source or a situation with a potential


for harm in terms of human injury or ill health,
damage to property,
• Hazad suatu situasi atau sumber ynag berpotensi
untuk terjadinya kecedaraan kepada manusia, sakit
kesihatan, kerosakan harta
Definition
• Danger: Relative exposure to hazard
• Bahaya: dedahan kepada hazad
• Risk means a combination of the likelihood of an
occurrence of a hazardous event with specified
period
• Risiko adalah kombinasi diantara kemungkinan
(kebarangkalian) untuk terjadinya hazad pada masa
tertentu
Definition
• Risk assessment means the process of evaluating the
risks to safety and health arising from hazards at
work.
• Hazard control means the process of implementing
measures to reduce the risk associated with a hazard.
What is Risk?
How to predict the risk?
Purpose of HIRARC
a) Legal requirement
b) to identify all the factors that may cause harm to
employees and others (the hazards);
c) to consider what the chances are of that harm actually
be falling anyone in the circumstances of a particular
case and the possible severity that could come from it
(the risks); and
d) to enable employers to plan, introduce and monitor
preventive measures to ensure that the risks are
adequately controlled at all times.
When to Carry out Risk Assessment?
• Before operation
• During operation
• After operation
When to Review Risk Assessment?
1. Internal Operation
 Before modification, changes or introduction of new
- material, machinery or processes, working
procedures
2. External – legal requirement
Basic Component of Risk Management
1. Hazard Identification
2. Risk assessment
3. Risk Control
4. Review
HIRARC Process
Hazard
Identification
Sources of Hazard

1. Man Unsafe act


2. Machinery Installation, layout
3. Materials  Substances such as
chemicals, radioactive and gases
4. method The way people carry out their
work
5. Media Work place condition i.e. air
quality, ventilation, lighting, noise,
vibration
Classification of Hazard
Classification Example
Physical Mechanical ( Sharp point, edges, overload)
Electrical (Electrical cord insulation damaged,
wire cover)
Biological Blood borne, viruses, bacteria and Fungus
Chemical Exposed to carcinogens chemicals
Ergonomic Awkward design of workstation
Psychological Stress, sexual harassment and violent
Assessment- Identifying Hazard
• Information Gathering (Area Map, site
plans)
• Review of Documents and publication
• Inspection and observation
• Measurement of the atmosphere, monitor
environment
• Health or medical surveillance
• Previous hazard analysis
Hazard Analysis
• Job safety analysis
• HAZOP (Hazard Operational)
• Fault tree
Hazard Analysis (Job safety )
• Identify job to be done
• List things that can go wrong
Hazop
• To identify and evaluate safety hazards ib
the process plants
• New design or process
• “What if” questionnaire method
Fault Tree Analysis
Near Miss!!!
Risk Rate
Risk rate = Severity x likelihood
= hazard x exposure
Likelihood = is an event likely to occur within the
specific period or in specified circumstances
@ How much quantities of chemicals enter the body
Severity of Hazard

Severity is the outcome of event


 Harm to health
 Damage to property
 Damage to environment
 Combination of the above
