1. RISK MANAGEMENT Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment & Control Measures (HIRAC)

2. R I S K M A N A G E M E N T WHAT IS HAZARDS ? • ANYTHING WHICH MAY CAUSE HARM ; • Injury or ill health • To employees and others • In the workplace • The environments • May arise from “TOOLS” or “WORK PROCESSES ”

3. STEP 1 : HAZARD IDENTIFICATION METHODS TO IDENTIFY HAZARDS • Review legislation & code of practices • Accident data • Observe • MSDS • Inspections • JSA ( Job Safety Analysis) etc

4. PHYSICAL Noise/Vibration Extreme Temperature (Heat/Cold) Radiation Machinery/Equipment Height/Gravitational R I S K M A N A G E M E N T CLASSIFICATION OF HAZARDS • Electrical • Fire/Explosion • Confined Space • Slip/Trip/Fall • Vehicles • Water

5. CHEMICAL R I S K M A N A G E M E N T CLASSIFICATION OF HAZARDS • Very Toxic • Toxic • Corrosive • Harmful • Irritant • Explosive • Oxidising • Extremely Flammable • Highly Flammable • Flammable HEALTH PHYSICO CHEMICAL

6. BIOLOGICAL R I S K M A N A G E M E N T CLASSIFICATION OF HAZARDS • Animals – Wild Dogs , Snakes, Scorpions • Plants - Poisons, irritants, Rashes • Bacteria – Legionella • Viruses – Influenza, HIV, Hepatitis • Yeast – Cryptococcus • Fungi – Tineas • Parasites – Ticks, Gardia,

7. ERGONOMIC R I S K M A N A G E M E N T CLASSIFICATION OF HAZARDS • Repetitive Work - Prolonged Similar Task • Manual Handling - Lifting, Pulling, Pushing, Twisting • Computer Works - Sitting Posture, Eyes Strain • Lighting - Adequacy of Light • Ventilation - Indoor Air Quality

8. PSYCHOSOCIAL R I S K M A N A G E M E N T CLASSIFICATION OF HAZARDS • Shift work - Prolonged night duty • Stress - Multifactor • Violence - Individual, Group • Harassment - Sexual, Bullying

9. R I S K M A N A G E M E N T STEP 2 : ACCESSING THE RISK Gather information about each hazard identified • How LIKELY is it that a hazardous event or situation will occur ? • Very likely - frequently • Likely - Occasionally • Unlikely - happen but only rarely • Highly unlikely - happen but probably never will How many people are exposed to each hazard and for how long Use the information to assess the LIKELIHOOD and CONSEQUENCES of each hazards • What might be the CONSEQUENCES of a hazardous event or situations • Fatality • Major injuries ( normally irreversible ) • Minor injuries ( normally reversible requiring several days off work ) • Negligible injuries ( First Aid ) Use a risk table to work out the RISK associated with each hazards

10. R I S K M A N A G E M E N T L I K E L I H O O D HIGH UNLIKELY VERY LIKELY LIKELY UNLIKELY FATALITY HIGH HIGH HIGH MEDIUM CONSEQUENCE MAJOR HIGH HIGH MEDIUM MEDIUM MINOR HIGH MEDIUM MEDIUM LOW NEGLIGIBLE MEDIUM MEDIUM LOW LOW EVALUATING THE RISK

11. R I S K M A N A G E M E N T Is the RISK tolerable ? • IF YES ! • Leave them alone, • But need MONITORING……... • IF NO ! • Need CORRECTIVE /PREVENTIVE MEASURES..

12. R I S K M A N A G E M E N T STEP 3 : CONTROLLING THE RISK LEVEL 1 : ELIMINATE THE HAZARD • LEVEL 2 : MINIMISE THE RISK • Substitute with something safer • Modify the workplace ( Enclosure ) • Isolate the workplace or hazardous aspect • Introduce engineering control • LEVEL 3 : ‘BACK-UP’ CONTROL • Implement administrative controls & safe work practices • Require Personal Protective Equipment

13. R I S K M A N A G E M E N T STEP 4 : MONITORING AND REVIEW • HOW EFFECTIVE ARE THE CONTROL MEASURES ? • ANY NEW HAZARDS INTRODUCED ? • HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE WORK PROCESS ? • KEEP IT GOING

14. R I S K M A N A G E M E N T End of Topic..... Any question…..????
