  1. SAFETY AUDIT A KEY FORHAZARD IDENTIFICATION TECHNIQUE

  2. What is Safety Audit Verifying the existence and implementation of elements of occupational safety and health system and for verifying the system’s ability to achieve defined safety objectives ~~~IS-14489-1998

  3. CONCERNS OF MANAGEMENT • QUANTITY PRODUCED IN RELATION TO PRODUCTION SCHEDULE AND MARKET REQUIREMENT • PRODUCT QUALITY • PRODUCTION COSTS • INTEGRATING THE STAKEHOLDERS CONCERNS Is Safety Important? Not always

  4. SAFE AND SOUND • A study of top companies in the world indicated that ‘Safety and Loss Prevention Programmes were essential for a company’s prosperity and accepted as part of good Business'.

  5. Why do organizations have to bother about Safety • Corporate Strategy • Finance • Human Resources • Marketing, Product Design and Product Liability • Manufacturing and operating policy • Information Management and systems • Societal Concerns

  6. Societal Concerns • Increased concern about the impact on the public not just the workforce concerned • Public intolerance of risks which do not have clear benefits to those affected • Readiness to press for retribution on those who cause harm and to seek compensation • Demand for increased transparency

  7. Demand for full information and for public involvement • A willingness to challenge and complain

  8. Corporate Strategy • Business Mission, Philosophy and codes of ethics • Company image in the community • Environment impact • Management Professionalism

  10. Human Resources • Work and job structuring • Morale and retaining people • Positive health structure

  11. Marketing, product design and product liability • Specification of product and service • Legal requirement • International requirement • Consumer protection act

  12. Manufacturing and operating policy • Design/selection/construction/maintenance of premises, plant, equipment and substances • Quality management • Environment management and waste disposal

  13. Information management and systems • Identification of data critical to the management of health and safety • Selection of appropriate performance indicators • Use of information technology in the collection and analysis of essential data.

  14. Organizations carry out • Safety Audit • Safety Survey • Safety Inspection • Safety Tour • Safety Sampling • HAZOP

  15. Safety Survey: Detailed examination of a narrower field of activity-e.g.- key areas revealed by safety audits • Safety Inspection: Routine inspection-work is being carried in accordance with procedures etc. • Safety Tour: Unscheduled examination-hazards are removed-standards are removed

  16. Safety Sampling: Trained observers record the number of safety defects seen while touring specified locations by a prescribed route. Typically tours last for 15 min. and are conducted at weekly intervals. The unweighted count of defects is used to portray trends in the safety situation.

  17. MONITORING COMPARE ACTUAL PERFORMANCE -STANDARDS COMPREHENSIVE CONTINUOS AUDIT NOT DONE BY INSIDER NOT COMPREHENSIVE-DEPENDS ON SCOPE PERIODIC SAFETY AUDIT

  18. DIFFERENT TYPES OF AUDIT • Electrical Audit • Fire Safety Audit • Pressure vessels Audit • Lifting Tackles Audit • Statutory Regulations Compliance Audit • Emergency Communication Audit • Pipe lines Audit

  19. SAFETY AUDIT • OCCUPIERS ARE REQUIRED TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR CAPABILITY TO DESIGN LOCATE OPERATE AND MAINTAIN THEIR FACILITIES TO STANDARDS ACCEPTABLE TO THE GOVT. AND PUBLIC.

  20. AUDIT • AN AUDIT IS A SYSTEMATIC INDEPENDENT REVIEW TO VERIFY CONFORMANCE WITH ESTABLISHED GUIDE LINES OR STANDARDS. IT EMPLOYS WELL DEFINED REVIEW PROCESS TO ENSURE CONSISTENCE AND TO ALLOW THE AUDITOR TO REACH DEFENSIBLE CONCLUSIONS.

  21. OBJECTIVES OF THE SAFETY AUDIT • DESIGN DEFICIENCIES AND ALSO WEAKNESSES WHICH MIGHT HAVE CROPPED UP DURING MODIFICATIONS /ADDITIONS. • FIRE PROTECTION ARRANGEMENTS AND SAFETY SYSTEMS. • OPERATING /MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES-DEGRADED WITH TIME • TRAINING, PREPAREDNESS FOR HANDLING EMERGENCIES.

  22. SCOPE OF AUDIT • FIRE AND EXPLOSION; PREVENTION, PROTECTION AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. • WORK INJURY PREVENTION. • HEALTH HAZARDS CONTROL. • CONSEQUENCES OF EMERGENCIES. • ON SITE EMERGENCY CONTROL

  23. Elements of Occupational Safety and Health System-IS14489 • Occupational Health and Safety Policy • OS&H organizational set up • Education and Training • Employees participation in OS&H Management • Motivational and Promotional measures for OS&H • Safety Manual and Rules • Compliance with Statutory Requirements • New Equipment review and inspection

  24. Elements contd.. • Accident reporting analysis investigation and implementation and recommendations • Risk Assessment including hazard identification • Safety inspections • Health and safety improvement plan/targets • First aid facilities-Occupational health center • Personal Protective Equipment • Good housekeeping • Machine and general area guarding • Material handling equipment

  25. Elements contd.. • Electrical and Personal safeguarding • Ventilation, illumination and noise • Work environment monitoring system • Prevention of occupational diseases including periodic medical examination • Safe operating procedures • Work Permit systems • Fire Prevention, Protection and fighting systems • Emergency Preparedness plans(onsite/offsite) • Process Plant modification procedure

  26. Elements contd.. • Transportation of hazardous substances • Hazardous waste treatment and disposal • Safety in storage and warehousing • Contractor safety systems • Safety for customers(including MSDS)

  27. Records to be examined during Audit • OS&H Policy • Safety organization chart • Training Records on safety, fire and first aid • Accident investigation reports • Accidents and dangerous occurrences-Statistics and analysis • Records of tests and examination of equipment and structures • Safe operating procedures for various operations • Record of work permits • Record of montioring of flammable and explosives

  28. Records- Contd.. • Maintenance and testing records of fire detection and fire fighting equipment • Medical records of employees • Records of industrial hygiene surveys(noise, ventilation, illumination levels, airborne and toxic substances, explosive gases) • MSDS • Onsite emergency plans and record of mockdrills • Records of waste disposal • Records of effluent discharge to the environment • Housekeeping inspection records

  29. Records contd.. • Minutes of Safety committee meetings • Approval of layouts and other approvals from statutory authorities • Records of any modifications carried out in plant and process • Maintenance procedure records • Calibration and testing records • Shutdown maintenance procedures • In service inspection manuals, records including that of material handling • Safety Budget • Statutory Records, Previous audit reports, Transportation of Hazardous substances

  30. TOPICS ON WHICH INFORMATION IS COLLECTED • SAFETY ORGANIZATION. • CONTRACTOR EMPLOYEE ACTIVITIES. • MATERIAL SAFETY DATA. • OCCUPANCY. • SAFETY AND HEALTH POLICY. • OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF SAFETY MANUAL.

  37. Safety Leadership is key to success

  38. Safety Depends on Accident and incident analysis Work permit Hardware Engineering Software Emergency Procurement Humanware Maintenance Leadership PPE Health and Hygiene Task observation

  39. Safety Culture • Liveware • Safety Culture • Hardware Software Acts-Practice-Habit-Behavior-Culture

  40. Coincident or Not ? If, A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Equals, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 Then, K + N + O + W + L + E + D + G + E 11 + 14 + 15 + 23 + 12 + 5 + 4 + 7 + 5 = 96% H + A + R + D + W + O + R + K 8 + 1 + 18 + 4 + 23 + 15 + 18 + 11 = 98% Both are important, but the total falls just short of 100% But, A + T + T + I + T + U + D + E 1 + 20 + 20 + 9 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 5 = 100% Safety really is about attitude. Make 100% Safe Behavior your choice both ON and OFF the job
