Risk Assessment For Testing & Commissioning of HVAC System

1. The risk assessment identifies hazards for testing and commissioning an HVAC system such as electrical shock, trip/fall hazards, fire/explosion from refueling, and burns/injuries from welding equipment. 2. Control measures to reduce risks include obtaining a lock-out tag-out permit, conducting a risk briefing, using proper PPE like safety shoes and gloves, and ensuring fire extinguishers are available. 3. With controls, the residual risk is lowered to low likelihood and low severity through measures like keeping guards in place, disconnecting power before servicing, and preventing contact with test terminals.

23 RISK ASSESSMENT & CONTROL GUIDELINES
24
25 1. Executing Steps:
26 1.1. Planning
27 a) Construction and HSE team must ensure that hazard identification is complete.
28 b) Construction and HSE team must prioritize the hazard issues, which are of significant in nature. (It means that risks
29 have well established legal requirements, potentially high risks).
30 c) Construction and HSE team to prepare the risk assessment plan for the priorities identified hazards for these
31 potential high risks.

32 1.2. Risk Assessment


33 Risk is the probability of an event occurring in a given set of circumstances. The ‘event’ is an exposure to hazard. The
34 hazard is the potential to cause harm. The risk assessment is the technique of evaluating not just the likelihood of an
35 event occurring, but also the outcome will be in terms of injury, loss, damage or harm.
36 1.3. Risk Assessment Process
37 The process of carrying out a risk assessment should be as follows.
38 1. Identify the hazards.
39 2. Identify who might be harmed and how.
40 3. Evaluate the risk and implement the control measures.
41 4. Record the significant findings.
42 5. Review the assessment and update if necessary.

43 1.4. Examination of the Hazards and Risk Associated


44  Competent staff must be used in examining the risk associated with the identified hazard.
45  Competent staff should examine following aspect to determine the risk involved:
46 o Examine the existing control measures in place.
47 o Identify employees at risk.
48 o Likelihood of risk.
49 o Severity
50 o Risk level and their tolerability.

51 1.5. Evaluating the risk:


52 Once the necessary information has been obtained on the hazards encountered by work activities, next stage is to
53 access the risks.
54 1.5.1. Risk Rating Score
55 Risk rating score is a combination of two factors.
56  The severity of the risk that could injure persons or cause damage to plant.
57  The likelihood of the risk that it could happen (Probability).
58
59 RISK RATING = LIKELIHOOD X SEVERITY
60 NOTE: Each activity has to be assessed for the risk value for determining the level of Severity and likelihood are mentioned in
61 the table below. SEVERITY
