Overview Of HIRARCDefinition of HazardsClassification of HazardsPotential sources of HazardsBasic components of Risk Management

The Process of Risk ManagementClassify Activities(Work, Product, Services)

Identify Hazard

Assess The Risk

Review Risk Control

Classification & Potential Sources of Hazards Classification Example of HazardsMechanical - Sharp points & edges, overload.Electrical - Insulation damaged or cover brokenBiological - Exposed, airborne/blood borne microorganism. Chemical - Expose to carcinogens chemicalErgonomics - Expose to unnatural posturesPsychological- Stress or violent at workplace.

Hazard IdentificationTo keep workplace safe and healthy.-employers should make sure there are no hazards to which employees could be exposed.Employers should look for hazards in advanceas part of their risk management plan to prevent potential hazards.

How To Assess Risk1) Look for the Hazards2) Decide who might be harmed & how3) Evaluate the risk and check what is done to prevent it from happening4) Record finding5) Review assessment and revise it if necessary

Types of Risk AssessmentQualitative - (Use Risk Matrix)-table scales for likelihood and severityFatalityMajor injuriesMinor injuriesFirst aid or near misses

Types of Risk AssessmentBased on statisticLikelihoodVery likelyLikelyUnlikelyHighly Unlikely

Qualitative Risk Table

Semi-Quantitative Risk AssessmentSeverity Categories1. First Aid2. Less than 4 days M/C3. More than 4 days M/C4. Fatality & Permanent Disability

Semi-Quantitative Risk Table

Quantitative Risk AssessmentIn cases where hazards are numerous and complex eg; Chemical process plantShould have Job Safety Analysis (JSA)describe job in less than 10 stepsList things that can go wrongeg; Changing a Car Wheel

Actions & RecommendationsEL-EliminateSL-SubstituteIS-IsolationEC-Engineering ControlAC -Administration ControlPPE- Personal Protection Equipment

Actions & RecommendationsEg;EL - stop work, cover hazardSL - use other route, other material..IS - put up temporary barrier,EC - construct permanent wall,..AC - put up notice, job rotation,PPE - gloves, respirator,
