Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment • It includes • Identification of Hazards • Evaluation of risks with existing control measures in place (taking into account exposure • to specific hazards, the likelihood of failure of control measures & potential severity of • consequences of injury or damage. • Evaluation of acceptability of residual risk • Identification of any additional risk control measures needed • Evaluation of whether the risk control measures are sufficient to reduce the risk to a • acceptable level
Review of Risk Assessment • The Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment & Risk control process should be reviewed at a predetermined time or period as set out in OH&S policy or at a time predetermined by the management. This period can vary depending on the following considerations: • The magnitude of the Risk. • Changes from normal operations • Changes in feedstock, raw materials, chemicals etc.
How To Assess The Risks In Your Workplace Step 1 Identify the hazards Step 2 Decide who might be harmed and how Step 3 Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions Step 4 Record your findings and implement them Step 5 Review your assessment and update if necessary

Job Cycle Check Job cycle check is a process to identify the gaps in the existing operational control and modify Risk Assessment It also helps in reviewing the implementation of system.
Steps in Job Cycle Check Reviewers Preparation (Line Manager/Supervisors) Pre-Job Evaluation On the Job Evaluation Final Evaluation Reporting
Reviewer’s Preparation • As per schedule the Review Team Leader makes an appointment with Area of the job as to time and location of the preview and execution of the job. • The Reviewers, optionally make a photocopy of the procedure to be reviewed for use as a working copy or alternatively and in addition, use a checklist.
Pre-job Evaluation • The Review team and Work executor sit down before job execution and review the job preparation along with HIRA. Key questions to be asked : • What protective equipment is required? Is it in good shape? • What tools are required? Are they provided in good condition? • Is the procedure up-to-date? • Can the job be done safely and efficiently by following this procedure? • Other activities going on in the area, that may interfere (an other contractor job)? • Direction check and other position/ location • issues – what risks are there from all directions?
On-the-Job Evaluation • After the off-the-job discussion, the Review team and Work executor will go into the area. • Work executor will perform the job as described by procedure. • Gaps / Deviations are observed • Note: Use HIRA as reference, but observe beyond
On-the-Job Evaluation… cont’d • Use the Safety Observation Categories • Reaction • In JCC, not specifically evaporative behaviors but rather attitude, mind-set of the work executor observed. • Position • Ergonomics & Risks from all directions • PPE • Tools & Equipment • Procedures • Housekeeping/ orderliness
On-the-Job Evaluation (cont’d…) • Identify and document the following key items: • Gaps/Deviations. • Other check points: • Striking hazards, • Defective equipment/ tools and tackles. • Any additional equipment needed. • Emergency Preparedness. • Any parts of the job that are not covered. • Position, ergonomic aspects, location etc.
4. Final Evaluation • After the pre- and on-the-job evaluations: • Review of team and work executor • Review their initial findings and on- the-job evaluation. • The Reviewer asks suggestions/opinion from the Work executor. • Job cycle check form is then completed
Do’s and Don'ts of JCC • DO’s: • Have preview with whole team/ • work-party • Observe, 360° around • Get workers’ confidence • Strive for “real life” work situation • JCC team leader interacts with • supervisor/ work execution leader • Stop immediate hazards safely • Time out at proper moment • Have workers’ involvement and • allow for their suggestions • Have review with whole team • Don'ts : • Have preview with supervisor/ work execution leader only • Inspect, use mobile • Not “us” and “them” • Interfere directly and individually with work execution members • Interrupt at improper moment and create unsafe situations • Have review with supervisor/ work execution leader only
Implementation Before After
Conclusion • Improvesquality of Risk Assessment development process • Means to analyze employees performance on the job. • Means to assess the effectiveness/ skills of supervision • Requires cooperation, openness between the work party and review team. • Helps discover hidden hazards. • Tool for verifying adequacy and effectiveness of training method Input for training • Way to improve observation skills: “Seeing and seeing beyond rather than Looking” • Tool to change mindset of employees/contractors and all involved
