Commonly used words in safety • Hazard – Potential to cause harm to people & equipment. • Risk - The likelihood of such occurring. • Risk assessment – Risk in executing job is assessed before any job is started. • Control measures – The precautions taken for doing a job safely, based on risk assessment.

  16. Risk Rating Risk Rating = Probability X Severity

  17. Methods of Risk assessment • Hazard & Operability studies ( HAZOP) • Hazard Identification ( HAZID) • Hazard Analysis ( HAZAN) • Preliminary hazard analysis (PHA). • Fault Tree Analysis (FTA). • Failure mode and effect Analysis (FMEA)

  18. Stages of Hazard Analysis • Design phase • Construction / procurement / installation stage. • Integration / test / check out phase.

  19. Control of safety hazards • Elimination • Substitution • Isolation • Control – Administrative & Engineering. • Personnel Protective Equipment ( PPE)

  20. OHSAS 18001 • Abbreviated as Occupational health & Safety Assessment Series. • International Safety Management system. • Originated from British Standards Institution (BSI) • Calls for Management commitment to safety.
