HAZARD

IDENTIFICATION

RISK ASSESSMENT

DETERMINING
CONTROLS

By: Mohsin Raza


PURPOSE

An ongoing process to

– Identify hazards in work related activities that can affect


the health and safety of employees

– Assessment of risks

– Implementation of necessary control measures to


reduce risk level up to the acceptable level.
SCOPE
Applicable to all Units/Departments at GM

RESPONSIBILITIES
❑ Unit In charges to carry out HIRADC on yearly basis and
send to HSE

❑ HSE to issuance HIRADC compliance status report


annually
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
❑ Guidelines in OHSAS 18001:2007

❑ Consider all tasks and situations on ground related to


activities, processes, facilities, equipment, materials,
malfunctions and human behavior.

❑ Identify all hazards that may be possible in jobs/activities.

❑ Identify those who may be exposed to these hazards.


CONTROL MEASURES IN PLACE

❑ Identify all control measures in place and in practice


related to the Job/Activity being assessed

❑ Control measures in place should be in accordance with


the hierarchy
Hierarchy for Determining Hazard Control Measures
Addressing Source of Hazard

• Elimination

• Substitution

• Enclosure / isolation

Engineering Controls
Hierarchy for Determining Hazard Control Measures(Contd…)
Administrative Controls

• Written operating procedures and safe work practices

• Time exposure limitations

• Monitoring the use of highly hazardous materials

• Alarms and warning signs

• Training requirements

• Altering working schedules


Hierarchy for Determining Hazard Control Measures (Contd…)
Use Additional Personal Protective Equipment

• When addressing the source of hazard is not possible.

• When work practices / procedures do not provide sufficient


additional protection.

• In emergency situations.
CONTROL MEASURES IN PLACE (Contd…)

❑ Identify all control measures in place and in practice


related to the Job/Activity being assessed.

❑ Control measures in place should be in accordance with


the hierarchy

❑ The control measures defined should address each


identified hazard separately.
RISK

❑ Base

❑ Residual
RESIDUAL RISK LEVEL ESTIMATION
Use severity and probability scales
(including human factor)

Residual Risk = Severity + Probability


(likelihood of occurrence L + likelihood
due to Human factor HF)

RR = S + P(L+HF)
RISK ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
S-Score Severity Score - Definitions
0 No injury, illness, no legal requirement

1 Minor injury or illness, first aid case and no lost time, no


violation of legal requirement
2 Lost time injury or illness without permanent disability,
violation of legal requirement
3 Loss of life, permanent disability or incurable illness, violation
of legal requirement
Estimate the probability of the occurrence.
P-Score Probability Score - Definitions
0 Highly unlikely, very low probability
1 Unlikely, low probability
2 Likely/ foreseeable
HUMAN FACTORS
❑ Lack of Training/Competence (Job
specific, Induction, Skill
improvement / Lack of Knowledge
or poor skill level etc.)

❑ Lack of Experience (related experience to the job/ activity)

❑ Physical fitness (ill health or medical issues, height phobia


etc.)
HUMAN FACTORS (Contd…)
❑ Mental Condition (Stress, Job related pressure or personal
problems etc.)

❑ Improper Ergonomics (working postures, repetitive


motions, time of exposure, duration of the job)
HUMAN FACTORS SCORE (0 – 2)

Give score to human factors based on the impact / significance

of human factors on the nature of job/activity to prevent any

incident
RISK ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

Risk level Required Control Action

0–2 Negligible risk, related activities may proceed with existing


Trivial controls.
3 Risk that has been reduced to a level that can be endured by
Tolerable the organization:
4 Risk that requires further controls and improvement; activities
Moderate may continue but require periodic monitoring of risk.
5 Risk that is not acceptable in the medium-term but activities
Substantial may still be permitted to be carried out under specially
controlled conditions.
6 Risk that is not acceptable to the organization; related activities
Intolerable must be stopped.
7 Risk that threatens the survival and continuation of the
Extreme organization in its present form.
RE–EVALUATION OF HIRADC
❑ Mandatory in case of any incident, change in
procedure or any addition/deletion of equipment

❑ The modified HIRADC including the aspect of incident


should be sent to HSE for record
