Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis

1. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis

2. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 2 Question� �What are we doing, that we have always done, that is no longer an acceptable risk?�

3. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 3 Learning Objectives After completing this training you will be able to: Discuss personal risk tolerance, what influences our decisions and how to assess what is acceptable risk Identify safety and health hazard types associated with a given job task Apply risk reduction methods and equip you with a tool to analyze risk assessment to keep you safer

4. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 4 Definitions Hazard Recognition � Recognizing a condition or behavior that can cause harm Risk Analysis � Analyzing the probability and severity of risk in order to reduce the chance that harm will occur

5. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 5 Injuries: A Matter of Probabilities

6. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 6 Why is Risk Analysis and Reduction Important? What are some examples of occupational injuries and illnesses that you have seen? What were the impacts of those injuries On the employee? To his/her family? To his/her co-workers? To the business?

7. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 7 Personal Risk Tolerance How do we decide what is risky? Let�s look at examples of activities and rate the risk level of each activity.

8. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 8 What�s Your Personal Risk Tolerance?

9. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 9 Factors That Influence Our Decisions Personal Factors Experience (Positive/negative) Knowledge/Skill Age Physical Ability Situational Factors Stress Rushing Control Organizational Factors Safety System Leadership Behaviors Peer Behaviors

10. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 10 Personal Factors

11. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 11 Safety Systems Are systems in place to encourage people to do the job with minimal risk? Leadership Behaviors Are at-risk, time-saving actions accepted? Peer Behaviors Do our co-workers encourage at risk behavior? Our Actions Are Driven By Organizational Beliefs

12. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 12 Organizational Factors

13. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 13 The Social Environment and Cultural Resistance to Change � Safety slows a job down �

14. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 14 Risk Perception We perceive risk differently Many factors influence our decision By understanding our risk tolerance and personal / organizational factors, we can prevent injuries

15. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 15 Objective Reasoning vs. Personal Opinion Use the risk assessment matrix instead of relying on one person�s assessment of what is �risky�

16. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 16 Accessing Acceptable Risk Probability Unlikely � not likely to occur Likely � may occur Very likely �near certain to occur Severity Marginal � Minor Injury or First Aid Critical � Injury or Lost Time Injury Catastrophic � Death or Permanent Disability

17. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 17 Using the Risk Analysis tool to determine risk

18. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 18 What Risk Code Would You Assign?

19. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 19 Identifying Hazards Identify hazards before starting a task: What is involved in this task that can hurt me or my co-workers? How can I/we keep from being hurt while performing this task? Types of Hazards Unsafe conditions Unsafe acts (behaviors)

20. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 20 Assessing the Risks Surroundings Work, equipment and tools Likelihood and extent of harm � what is the risk code?

21. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 21 Developing a Safe Solution or Plan Can I eliminate the hazard? Can I minimize the risks? Do I need help? Is there a better time to do the work? Do others need to be informed? What specific PPE and tools are required? What lock out or permit is needed? Is there a JSA or reliable method/procedure I need to review?

22. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 22 What is the Safe Solution? Decide if someone could be immediately injured. If it is an emergency (Risk Code greater than 1) Talk to your supervisor and reach agreement on how to get the issue fixed as quickly as possible. If it is NOT an emergency �.

23. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 23 Not Sure of a Safe Process to Use? If the risk is beyond �Marginal� in severity and �Likely� or �Unlikely� to occur I need to contact my supervisor and/or the safety department Share my concerns � discuss at post-outage meetings, team meetings, etc. Act safely, Follow your solution/plan

24. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 24 Let�s Try the Process! View the picture and then� Identify the hazards Assess the risks Develop a safe solution or plan

25. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 25 Example

26. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 26 Risk Assessment � What hazards did you identify? What risk assessment code did you identify for those hazards? What safe solutions or plans did you come up with?

27. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 27 Review: Before and After Prior to performing a task yourself Recognize - What is involved in this job that can hurt me or my co-workers? Reduce - How can I/we keep from being hurt while doing this job? After performing a task ask each other What was your assessment of the situation? What risks you identified? What were the identified controls? What can be shared with others? Share learnings at post outage meetings, team meetings, etc.

28. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 28 Injury Prevention Activities JSAs/Procedures Engineering/Design Training Housekeeping Inspections/Audits Safety meetings Participate in injury prevention activities on and off the job

29. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 29 What About the Hazards You Can�t Control?

30. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 30 What About the Workplace Processes that Have Specific Controls?

31. Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis 31 Learning Objectives - How Did We Do? After completing this training you will be able to: Discuss personal risk tolerance, what influences our decisions and how to assess what is acceptable risk Identify safety and health hazard types associated with a given job task Apply risk reduction methods to keep you safer
