Hazard Identification and Task Risk Assessment (HITRA) Hazards, Consequences, Controls HITRA Transition and Communication Pack 3

HITRA Transition and Communication Packs BPXA HITRA Transition and Communication Packs In support of transition from current risk assessment practices to HITRA or Hazard Identification Task Risk Assessment. To supplement the OE HITRA Training. These HITRA Transition and Communication Packs include: Sources of Energy (SoE) Jobs, Tasks, and Task Steps Hazards, Consequences, Controls HITRA Transition Summary Today we will cover??

Objectives Why Change to HITRA? HITRA Terminology Task Description Detail Information required when identifying a Hazard Consequences Information required when identifying a Control Adding Value to Controls The concept of Invalid Controls The Hierarchy of Controls (HoC) Preventive and Protective controls An Example on HITRA L1 TRA

Alaska Region: Why Change Now? To align BPXA Risk Assessment Processes with Upstream practice. HITRA is a mindset of how we will conduct risk assessments and is the way we do business Systematic (repeatable and reproducible); common language (uses Task Risk Assessment Table (TRAT)) This is how e-CoW documents Risk Assessments; e-CoW will be simpler, include better options, and one technique covering all tasks; L1 & L2 TRA for all permitted work Once a L1 or L2 TRA has been created it may be utilized again for the same or similar task Option for low risk (routine) work based on a risk assessed procedure, approved annually Used for Non-permitted work Risk Assessment is a primary focus area for BPXA. CoW incidents are still high as a result of inadequate risk assessment

HITRA Terminology HazardAnything that has the potential to result in undesired events such as injury, illness or damage. ConsequenceThe harm and damage that could result from a hazard. ControlPrecautionary measure taken to affect a consequence to be less severe, eliminated or occur less often. Residual RiskThe risk that remains after all the identified control measures have been put in place. Hierarchy of Controls (HoC)A grouping of different kinds of controls, ranked in order of effectiveness in removing a hazard, or minimizing the effect(s) of a hazard if the effect is realized.

Task Description It is important to ensure the Task Description is complete in order to effectively conduct a risk assessment. The Task Description must clearly define the scope of work and list all tasks to be performed. The work being performed must stays within the perimeters of the scope.

Information required when writing a hazard. For Task, Jobsite and Process hazards there needs to be: An Energy Source – (Chemical, Mechanical, Pressure, Thermal etc.) A ‘what’ – Communicate what the hazard is? A ‘how’ – Communicatehow the hazard can cause harm? Some ‘detail’ – Where is the hazard located or where is it coming from? Energy Source What How it can cause harm Detail Mechanical – Being struck by movement of suspended load resulting in serious bodily injury or fatality.

Consequences Potential consequence shall be considered for hazard impacts in the following categories: Health and Safety of employees at the worksite, regardless of whether they are directly involved in the task or not. Environmental. Equipment damage Business. There may be more than one type of consequence (e.g., health, safety, environmental) per potential hazard. Potential consequence shall be: Identified for each potential hazard. Recorded for each potential hazard (the L1 or L2 TRA).

Information required when writing the control. For Task, Process and Jobsite controls there needs to be: A ‘what’ – Communicate what the control is? A ‘how’ – How someone will be able to observe that this control is being applied? Some ‘detail’ – When it needs to be applied or where it is needed? Who will be responsible for applying it. How What Detail PA will barricade the area at least 1.5 times the swing radius of crane boom prior to lift commencing.

Example: L1 TRA showing the “Task Step, SoE, The What, How & Detail”

INVACs (Inappropriate or Non Value Adding Controls) INVACs Inappropriate or Non Value Adding Controls Eliminate- and replace with a stronger control that realistically reduces the residual risk

Bringing Value to Controls If you can not think of a valid control, is there really a hazard? If you have to use your imagination to interpret a control it may have missed the point! Are you controlling or reacting? - think proactive! Is it clear what needs to be done? Is it clear how to implement the control? Will it help to state when, who or where?

Good Intentions? Do These Reduce Risk? Watch where you place your feet in this area! Be careful not to hurt yourself! Think about situations when you may slip or fall over! Make sure any spilled hydrocarbons do not enter any drains! Plan an escape! Follow the 8 Golden Rules! Reduce the amount of lifting you need to do! The adjoining plant is live-be aware! Hazardous products are in the pipes around you be-aware! The work crew must complete and/or display a form! Read an MSDS and understand the hazards of dangerous materials you will work with! Be constantly aware of where you place your hands! Always be aware of your body placement!
