    The document discusses hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk control (HIRARC). It provides steps for conducting HIRARC: [1] hazard identification to find physical and health hazards, [2] risk evaluation to assess likelihood and severity of risks given existing controls, [3] determining additional risk controls if risks are medium to high, [4] implementing additional controls, [5] keeping records for at least 3 years and reviewing HIRARC when accidents occur or processes change. The goal of HIRARC is to reduce risks to as low as reasonably practicable.

    Hazard Identification HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

    • Comparative Methods. e.g. checklists


    and audits. A source or situation
    with a potential for harm
    • Fundamental Methods: e.g. Deviation in terms of injury or ill-
    Analysis, Hazard and Operability health, damage to
    property, environment
    Studies, Energy Analysis, Failure or a combination of the
    Modes & Effects Analysis. above.
    • Failure Logic: e.g. Fault Trees, Event
    Trees & Cause- Consequence

    DANGER Assessing the Risks


    Risk:
    Relative exposure to The likelihood that a specified
    the hazard (i.e. Audience
    undesired event will occur due to the
    Matador vs. realisation of a hazard by, or during
    Audience) Matador work activities or by the products and
    services created by work activities.

    Assessing the Risks

    Quantitative risk assessment Subjective risk assessment
    • Commonly used in the high technology
    industries
     Qualitative risk assessment involves making
    a formal judgement on the consequence
    and probability using:

    Risk = Severity of harm x Likelihood of occurrence

    RISK ALARP

     Legislation requires employers to reduce


    risks to a level that is as low as is reasonably
    practicable (sometimes abbreviated as
    ALARP).
     To carry out a duty so far as is reasonably
    practicable means that the degree of risk in a

    Hazard Identification Checklist Hazards and Risks

    This cable is a
    hazard. Why?

    Because there is a risk that you could


    trip over it and hurt yourself.

    What hazards do you see?

    What are Physical Hazards?


     Flammable
     Combustible
     Compressed Gas
     Oxidizer
     Unstable
     Water Reactive

    Corrosives
    Irritants
    Sensitizers
    Toxic
    Target Organ Effects

    Identify Existing Risk Control Identify Existing Risk Control

    12
    Identify Existing Risk Control Assess the Risk
    •Take into consideration the existing control
    measures while determining (L) and (S).

    • Use of Risk Matrix to determine (L) and (S).

    • Find the severity column that best describes


    the outcome of risk.

    • Then follow the likelihood row to find the


    description that best suits the likelihood that the
    severity will occur.

    Determine Additional Risk Control

    •Determine additional Risk Controls if


    the Risk Level is Medium or High.
    STEP 4: RISK CONTROL • Consider Hierarchy of Control
    (ADDITIONAL)
    • Indicate the action officer & follow up
    date / status.

    13
    Implementation
    •HIRARC should be approved and endorsed by
    Head of Local Management

    • The involved Department should implement the


    recommended risk control measures without
    STEP 5: IMPLEMENTATION undue delay, as far as it is practicable.
    AND REVIEW
    • As and when required, action plan should
    developed.

    • Communicate & train the affected employees.

    Review

    •Maintain & retain all records of


    assessments for at least 3 years.
    • Changes shall made if :
    • After any accident or serious
    incident occurs STEP 6: RECORD KEEPING
    • When there are changes in the
    process, substances or facilities
    (Management of Change)
