  1. RISK ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT

  2. RISK MANAGEMENT Risk - The likelihood that the harm from a particular hazard is realised Hazard - Something with the potential to cause harm

  3. RISK ASSESSMENT • 1. Identify hazard • 2. Who might be harmed • Evaluate risks and existing control • measures • 4. Record significant findings • 5. Review the assessment

  4. FORMS OF HAZARD Physical Chemical Biological Ergonomical Psychological

  5. EVALUATION OF RISK & CONTROL MEASURES E - eliminate R - reduce I - Isolate C - control P - Personal Protective Equip D - discipline ERIC - Prevents Death

  6. SREDIM Select Record Examine Develop Implement Maintain

  7. THE RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESS Risk Assessment

  8. CONDUCT A HAZARD SURVEY • Identify any hazardous activity within the workplace which requires a risk assessment.

  9. POTENTIAL HAZARDS • Fall of object / material from height • Manual Handling • Fall of person from height • Use of machines • Fire including static electricity • Electricity • Drowning

  10. POTENTIAL HAZARDS • Excavation work • Stored energy • Explosions (Chemicals/Dusts) • Contact with Cold/Hot surfaces • Compressed air • Mechanical lifting operations • Noise • Biological agents

  11. POTENTIAL HAZARDS • Hand tools • Adverse weather • Chemicals/Substances • Housekeeping • Lighting • Confined spaces • Cleaning

  12. DESCRIBE THE ACTIVITY • List all the activities involved within the task.

  13. IDENTIFY THE HAZARDS • List all of the hazards that are associated with the task. E.g. electricity, manual handling etc.

  14. ASSIGN A RISK RATING TO THE TASK • High • Medium • Low • Score rating 1-25

  15. LIST THE EXISTING CONTROLS • List all existing controls in place • Training • Competency • Written method statements

  16. LIST ADDITIONAL SAFETY MEASURES

  17. HIGHLIGHT ANY RESIDUAL RISKS

  18. RE ASSIGN RISK RATING

  19. PREPARE METHOD OF WORKS STATEMENT

  20. SAFE SYSTEMS OF WORK

  21. PROFOUND KNOWLEDGE • Who actually does it • Who actually watches it being done • A fresh pair of eyes

  22. BRAINSTORMING • Personnel that have the profound knowledge • Personnel that oversee the operation • Any personnel that the change would impact on.

  23. COMPONENTS OF A SAFE SYSTEM OF WORK • Materials - Climate • People - Carrying out the work, in the vicinity of the work, affected by the work, Trespassers • Plant - Directly & Indirectly involved • Equipment - Hand held, Scaffolding, Shoring, Lighting etc

  24. WHEN IS A SAFE SYSTEM REQUIRED ? • A safe System of work is required when hazards cannot be physically eliminated and some element of risk remains.

  25. FIVE STEPS TO DESIGNING A SAFE SYSTEM OF WORK • Assess the task - Ask the people that do it. • Identify the hazards - Ask the people that do it, stand back and watch it. • Define the Safe Method - Then discuss it with the people that do it and amend if necessary • Implement the System - Ownership • Monitor the System - A living document

  26. ASSESSING THE TASK • WHAT - is used/done/hazards/limits • WHEN - is it done, effects of different times • WHERE - is it done, how would it differ • HOW - is it done, pre-empt failures • WHY - is it done that way, another way?

  27. HOW DO YOU COMMUNICATE A SAFE SYSTEM OF WORK ? • ORALLY - Through training, by supervisors • BY EXAMPLE - What you do, they will do • SIMPLE WRITTEN - Managers rules, notices, circulars • FORMAL PERMIT TO WORK - An auditable, managed system
