Unsafe Act vs. Unsafe ConditionsUnsafe actions and not unsafeconditions are the root of the vast
majority of occupational injuries and
accidents.
Unsafe conditions exist all around us
while unsafe acts can make unsafeconditions even more dangerous.

Unsafe Act - Performance of a task or other activity that
is conducted in a manner that may threaten the health
and/or safety of workers.
Examples are :Use of tools for other than their intended purpose.
Working in hazardous locations without adequate
protection or warning.
Improper repair of equipment.Horseplay.
Wearing unsafe clothing.
Taking an unsafe position.

Unsafe conditions are hazardousconditions or circumstances that
could lead directly to an accident.
An unsafe act occurs when a worker
ignores or is not aware of a standard
operating procedure or safe workpractice designed to protect the
worker and prevent accidents.

Unsafe Condition - A condition in the work place that is
likely to cause property damage or injury.Examples are:
Defective tools, equipment, or supplies.Inadequate supports or guards.
Congestion in the workplace.
Inadequate warning systems.
Fire and explosion hazards.Poor housekeeping.Hazardous atmospheric condition.
Excessive noise.
Poor ventilation.

Unsafe Act vs. Unsafe ConditionsExample :Snow creates an unsafe condition to drive,but that hazard is magnified by driving in the
snow without slowing down or by notmaintaining safe distance.The act of driving too fast and not leavingsafe stopping distances makes an unsafecondition even worse.

Risk assessment is the process where you:
Identify hazards.
Analyze or evaluate the risk associated
with that hazard.
Determine appropriate ways to eliminate
or control the hazard.
Risk Assessment

In practical terms, a risk assessment is a thorough
look at your workplace to identify those things,situations, processes, etc that may cause harm,
particularly to people. After identification is made,you evaluate how likely and severe the risk is, andthen decide what measures should be in place to
effectively prevent or control the harm from
happening.For definitions and more information about what
hazards and risks are, please see the OSH Answers
document Hazard and Risk.
Risk Assessment

Risk assessment help to:Create awareness of hazards and risks.Identify who may be at risk (employees,cleaners, visitors, contractors, the public, etc).Determine if existing control measures areadequate or if more should be done.
Prevent injuries or illnesses when done at thedesign or planning stage.Prioritize hazards and control measures.
Important of risk Assessment

To remove a hazard or reduce the
level of its risk by adding precautions
or control measures, as necessary.By doing so, you have created a safer
and healthier workplace
Goal of risk Assessment

22/29
Done by a competent team of individuals who have a good workingknowledge of the workplace.
In general, to do an assessment, you should :
Identify hazards. Evaluate the likelihood of an injury or illness occurring, and its severity.
Consider normal operational situations as well as non-standard eventssuch as shutdowns, power outages, emergencies, etc.
Review all available heath and safety information about the hazard suchas MSDSs, manufacturers literature, information from reputableorganizations, results of testing, etc.
Identify actions necessary to eliminate or control the risk. Monitor and evaluate to confirm the risk is controlled. Keep any documentation or records that may be necessary.
Documentation may include detailing the process used to assess the risk,
outlining any evaluations, or detailing how conclusions were made.

When doing an assessment, you must take into account:
the methods and procedures used in the processing, use,handling or storage of the substance, etc.
the actual and the potential exposure of workers
the measures and procedures necessary to control suchexposure by means of engineering controls, work practices,and hygiene practices and facilities
By determining the level of risk associated with the hazard,the employer and the joint health and safety committee candecide whether a control program is required.It is important to remember that the assessment must takeinto account not only the current state of the workplace but
any potential situations as well.

When deciding on control measures thefollowing principles should be applied:
can the risk be avoided or eliminated? can the risks be contained at source? can the work be adapted to suit the
individual? e.g. layout of workplace, choiceof equipment and methods of working can engineering or technical controls be
used?
Controlling Risk
-

25/29
Information, instruction and training, andproviding personal protective equipment shouldalways be considered as a last resort after the
above controls have been considered.
Employers should, wherever possible, givepriority to those controls that best protect
everyone exposed to the risk.Remember that additional controls may berequired to protect vulnerable groups, such as
young people or pregnant workers.
