  4. Objectives This Guide aims to provide basic guidance in implementing risk management (RM) at workplaces. Potential incidents can be prevented when hazards are identified and risks are managed. Back to contents page

  5. Risk Management Regulations The WSH (Risk Management) Regulationsis one of the key components of the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Act. Under the Regulations, all workplaces are required to conduct risk assessments for routine and non-routine work. Back to contents page

  6. Overview of Risk Management Risk Management involves • identifying and analysing safety and health hazards associated with work; • assessing the risks involved; • prioritising measures to control the hazards and reduce the risks; • controlling and monitoring the risks; and • communicating these risks to all affected persons.

  23. 1 Preparation Form RM & RA Teams Identify Tasks of Each Process Gather Relevant Information activity II.Identify Tasks of Each Process • RM Team to set RA scope • Divide the workplace into a few distinct areas • Assign RA Team for each distinct area • RA Team to prepare Inventory of Work Activity (IWA) • Prepare IWA form for area(s) assigned by RM Team • IWA form to include activity inventory, location, process and 23/50

  24. 1 Preparation Form RM & RA Teams Identify Tasks of Each Process Gather Relevant Information III. Gather Relevant Information A. RM Team to gather information related to RM scoping : • Workplace layout plan • Process or work flowchart • List of work activities in the process 24/50

  25. 1 Preparation Form RM & RA Teams Identify Tasks of Each Process Gather Relevant Information • B. RA Teams to gather information on RA process : • List of tools, machinery and chemicals used • Manufacturer’s instruction manual including safety data sheets • Records of past incidents & accidents • Observations, interviews and feedback on WSH-related matters • WSH inspection records and audit reports • Relevant legislation, Codes of Practice and specifications • Details of existing risk control measures • Safe work procedures • Copies of previous RA • Medical records of workers Note: The above information ONLY serves as a guide. 25/50

  26. 2 Risk Assessment Hazard Identification Risk Evaluation Risk Control • Risk Assessment is a process of : • Identifying and analysing safety and health hazards associated with work; • Assessing the risks involved; and • Prioritising measures to control the hazards and reduce the risks. • Risk Assessment must be conducted for all work activities. 26/50

  27. 2 Risk Assessment Hazard Identification Risk Evaluation Risk Control • I. Hazard Identification • A. What is a Hazard ? • Anything, any source or any situation with the potential to cause bodily injury or ill-health Risk Assessment Form 27/50

  28. 2 Risk Assessment Hazard Identification Risk Evaluation Risk Control • B. How to Identify Hazards? • B1. RA Leader to determineways to identify hazards • brainstorming • process review • B2. RA Team to determine sources of hazards • physical • mechanical • electrical • B3. RA Team to consider if the hazards could cause harm beyond their immediate area of work • process hazard analysis • job safety analysis • chemical • biological • others 28/50
