 Employees with technical knowledge of the activity/Job


 The number of team members will depend on and vary with the complexity of the
Activity/job.
 Representatives of Workers & Contractors as required.
5.3 Steps of preparation of HIRA
5.3.1 Step -1: Collection of information
Team collects the following information wherever possible, for each work activity:
 Activities to be carried out, its duration and frequency.
 Location/s where the activities to be carried out.
 Persons involved in the activities.
 Other persons who may be affected by the work (e.g., visitors, contractors, the public)

 potential emergency situations;


 people including consideration of:
 those with access to the workplace and their activities, including workers,
contractors, visitors and other persons;
 those in the vicinity of the workplace who can be affected by the activities of the
organization;
 workers at a location not under the direct control of the organization
 actual or proposed changes in organization, operations, processes, activities and the
OH&S management system
 changes in knowledge of, and information about, hazards
 Hazards originating “outside the workplace” capable of adversely affecting the health
and safety of personnel under the control of the organization within the workplace.
 Hazards created in the vicinity “inside the workplace” by work related activities under the
control of the organization.
 Infrastructure, equipment and materials at the workplace, whether provided by the
organization or others.
 Changes or proposed changes in the organization, it’s activities and materials.
 Applicable legal obligations relating to risk assessment and implementation of
necessary controls.
 Design of workplace, processes installations, machinery / equipment, operating
procedures and work organization, including their adaptation to human capabilities.
5.4 Step – 3: Review of Existing Control Measures:
5.4.1.1 Team reviews and consider the existing control measures and their effectiveness
before arriving at initial risk rating.
5.4.1.2 The existing control measures could be one of the following:
 Administrative controls - SOP / Work Permit etc.
 Engineering Controls – Guarding / Safety Switches etc.
 PPE Controls - Suitable Personal Protection Equipment
5.4.1.3 The effectiveness of existing risk control measures (probable failures in existing risk
control measures) could be one of the following:
 Supervision / Human intervention is must for Controls.
 People not wearing PPE, / PPEs not available,
 People not aware of control measures / untrained personnel,
 Damaged PPEs etc.
5.5 Step – 4: Initial Risk Rating:
5.5.1 Initial Risk rating is done by considering the Severity, Exposure and Probability rating
for each type of risk assessed with existing controls. The rating is called Risk Priority
Number (RPN)

5.5.2 Table for Severity


What is the outcome of the event should it occur? (E.g., Morning Walk on footpath by the road and being
struck by a vehicle will score a “5” due to death and driving a forklift at work and having an accident will
also score a “5” due to the possibility that someone could die.)

Very Low Physical discomfort 1


Low Noticeable and requiring First Aid or slight health problem 2
Medium Temporary Disability or a person being unfit for full 3
performance of the regular job.
High Partial Permanent Disability/ Lost work Day case (LWDC) or 4
major health Problem causing LWDC
Very High Fatal/Total Permanent Disability (TPD) or severe health 5
problem Causing Fatal/TPD
5.5.3 Table for Exposure

How often is the operation involved performed? (E.g., Morning Walk on footpath will score a “2” because of
exposure for short duration of day and driving a forklift at work will score a “5” because the forklift driver
is full time and drives all day at work)

Level Exposure Rating


Very Low No Exposure 1
Low Intermittent Exposure to Hazard for less than an hour 2
Medium Exposure to hazard for 1~2 hrs. 3
High Exposure to hazard for half a work day (4hrs) 4
Very High Continuous exposure on work day (8hrs) 5

5.5.4 Table for Probability


How likely can the event or task be expected to happen? (E.g., Morning Walk on footpath by the road and
being struck by a vehicle will score a “1” due to death and driving a forklift at work and having an accident
will score a “5”)
Level Description Rating
Very low Virtually Impossible or impossible under normal 1
conditions
Low Unlikely under normal conditions 2
Medium Has happened in the Company or 50/50 chance 3
High Possible or Greater than 50% chance 4
Very High Very likely or has happened in the past 5
 RISK PRIORITY NUMBER (RPN) is obtained by multiplying the following factors:
 RPN = S x E x P. Where;
 S- Severity of harm: The risk from the hazard is determined by estimating the
potential severity of the harm.
 E- Exposure: The amount of time, number of cycles, number of people & resources
(equipment) involved.
 P- Probability: likelihood of the occurrence of Incident.
5.5.5 The Risk are categorised as per Table Below:

5.5.6 The Risks are prioritised and significant risks are actioned by implementing additional
control measures.
5.5.7 Additional control measures are recommended to reduce the Risk as per Risk Control Plan
mentioned below:
RPN PRIORITY Risk category What needs to be done?
Below 7 E Very Low Activity having RPN Below 7 is considered as Acceptable. No
Risk additional controls are necessary other than to ensure that
(Acceptable) existing controls are maintained & implemented.

7 to 15 D Low Risk Activity having RPN between 7 to 15 is considered as Tolerable


(Tolerable) risk.
No additional controls are required unless they can be
implemented at very low cost i.e., improved supervision,
enhanced monitoring.
16 to 29 C Medium Risk Additional control measures are put in place to reduce the RPN
(Significant) to Tolerable level (less than 16).
The risk reduction measures are implemented within a defined
period.
Arrangements are made to ensure that the controls are
maintained.
30 to 59 B High Risk Engineering control/Work Instructions (WI) are followed to
(Unacceptable) reduce risk to Tolerable level (less than 16).
In case of absence of Work Instructions (WI), Job/activity specific
Operational Control Procedure (OCP) is developed and followed.
The risk reduction measures are implemented within a defined
period (before start of work).
The work activity should be halted until risk controls are
implemented. If it is not possible to reduce the risk, the work
should remain prohibited.
Arrangements are made to ensure that the controls are
maintained.

60 and A Very High Risk It includes all the requirements of Priority B and necessary
above (Unacceptable) changes by Engineering Controls (for example - Fully automate
process, application of interlocks, Installation of Safety Valve,
Alarm & Detection System etc.) to reduce risk to Tolerable level
(less than 16).
The work activity is halted until risk controls are implemented. If
it is not possible to reduce the risk, the work remains prohibited.
Arrangements are made to ensure that the
Controls are maintained.
5.6 Step – 5: Residual Risk Rating :
5.6.1 The Risk rating (RPN) is reviewed based on the additional control measures taken to
mitigate the risk to tolerable levels
5.6.2 Additional control measures are recommended to reduce the Risk as per table above
5.6.3 The effectiveness of risk controls must be tested prior to implementation i.e. residual risk.
A single control will generally affect either the probability or exposure of a risk occurring.
the difference between the inherent risk and residual risk ratings (with controls applied)
will demonstrate the effectiveness of controls.
5.6.4 Hierarchy of risk control measures: while determining risk controls or considering changes
to existing controls, consideration are given to reducing the risks according to the
following hierarchy:

Hierarchy of control measures


Most

Effective

Least

Effective

5.6.5 s Directorate Head or nominated officer must ensure the principles of the Hierarchy of
Control are applied for each OHS hazard appearing in the RDSO/OHSCP01/ 01.
5.6.6 Use Checklist for HIRA Format No. RDSO/OHSCP01/02 for identifictaion of hazards
attached as Annexure-1 in this procedure.
5.6.7 It may be noted that, not all strategies, when implemented in isolation will reduce the
residual risk to a tolerable level. In such circumstances, the DMR-OH&SMS, or concerned
Directorate Head or nominated officer should consider the implementation of two or more
risk controls in conjunction to achieve the best possible risk reduction. An example of each
level of the hierarchy is given below:
Hierarchy Control Measures Examples Effectiveness
Elimination Completely remove the Removal of hazardous substance 100%

5 PROCEDURE
5.1 Identifying and evaluating Energy and Energy Consumption
5.1.1 Energy Review comprises of careful examination of all work activities, resulting in Energy
use/consumption as Energy Aspects. For doing analysis of energy use and energy
consumption based on the measurement, past data on these parameters is required.
Apart from Energy Use and Energy Consumption data for previous period, the review also
captures Energy Variables and Persons affected by the Significant Energy Use for purpose
of developing competency and training, and energy opportunities are also identified. The
energy review shall be carried out by RDSO employees who are part of the Energy Core
group with DMR-EnMS & MR. Based on the review, Significant Energy Uses (equipment or
areas) are identified based on the ratings (AxBxCxDxE) as per rating table below:
 If Rating is more than 3 (>3) – Intolerable and considered as SEU
 If Rating is less than 3 (<3) – Tolerable and NOT considered as SEU
5.2 In case of significance is intolerable, additional control measures are recommended to bring
down the level within the defined tolerable limit of 3. The analysis of energy use /
consumption identifies the SEUs.
5.3 Based on the recommended additional control measures for SEUs, energy objectives are set
up. Further step is the preparation of Energy Management Programmes /Action Plan with
target dates for completion or implementation of the energy objectives.
5.4 While conducting the Energy Review for identifying the SEUs, the following steps may be
considered:
5.4.1 Step – 1: Identify the areas of significant consumption.
 After identifying all the activities/processes consuming energy, they must be reviewed
to identify energy intensive equipment and processes as well as the proportion and
type of energy they use. The inputs can be categorized as electricity, heating oil, natural
gas, wood, transport fuels, etc. The electricity also be considered lighting in the office,
stores, yard, air conditioning in the offices and stores, compressed air in the workshops,
running of production line, heating, storage heaters, etc.
 Source or form of energy details are captured in Identification of Source and Forms of
Energy Format No. RDSO/ EnCP01/01.
5.4.2 Step – 2: Past and present energy consumption
 For assessing the current energy usage position, there is need to identify all
energy inputs in the respective sections i.e., electricity, gas, oil,diesel,lubricants,
Hydraulic oils and so on as mentioned above.

 Based on this, we need to track these consumption details at least of three years to
form the baseline data. Meter and sub-meter readings, fuel bills, etc., should also be
used as input.
 Energy consumption details are captured in Collection of Energy Consumption Data
Format No. RDSO/ EnCP01/02.
5.4.3 Step – 3: Estimating future energy consumption
 After identifying past and present energy usage, future energy usage and consumption
to be estimated based on the data collected and trends.
 Details of energy data consumption is captured in Conversion of Energy Data to Same
Units of Energy in Format No. RDSO/ EnCP01/03.
5.4.4 Step – 4: Identify opportunities for improving energy efficiency
 Based on the review of past and present energy use along with identification of
Significant Energy Uses (SEUs), opportunities for improvement of energy performance
are identified. On the basis of data and analysis carried out, a study needs to be
conducted to determine opportunities for reducing energy usage by using low-cost
inspection, operational control activities or upgrading existing equipment.
 The opportunities identified for improving energy performance is assessed to
determine the following:
 Potential for energy reduction.
 Financial payback.
 Practicality.
 Relevance to legal requirements &
 Implementation timeframes.
 The opportunities for improvement must be ranked in decreasing order of benefit. The
most promising and achievable opportunities should form the core of the energy
objectives and targets.
 Respective Directorate Head are responsible for implementation of this procedure in
their respective departments/sections; however, detailed methodology of significant
energy assessment is given below:
 Opportunities identified for improving energy performance are captured in Register of
Opportunities in Format No. RDSO/ EnCP01/04.
 The energy review shall be updated annually, as well as in response to major changes in
facilities, equipment, systems, or process.

5.5.1 Energy conscious procurement of energy services, products, equipment, and energy,
ensures that energy consumption is considered when decisions are made for the purchase
of machinery, equipment, products, energy and services. This is ensured by Directorate
Head -stores. Where the procurement has or can have an impact on significant energy use,
then energy efficiency should become part of the evaluation criteria, informing suppliers
that procurement is partly evaluated on the basis of energy performance. This could also
be covered by awareness and training to all personnel.
5.5.2 Suggested procurement procedures criteria should include: -
 Procurement policies, where applicable.
 Purchasing guidelines i.e., criteria to be followed if proposed products have the
potential to increase energy consumption by more than prescribed levels.
 Detailed energy assessments as required.
 Payback criteria and calculation methods, i.e., financial appraisal
 Life cycle costing.
 Vetted list of approved energy efficient spare parts and / or store of such parts.
5.5.3 When undertaking energy efficiency assignments, whether in the design or purchasing of
equipment that shall affect significant energy use and consumption, the following should
be established: -
 Criteria for when assessments are required.
 Those responsible for performing the assessment.
 The resources (Time and Financial) available.
 Investigation into the economic and technical energy efficient alternatives.
 Those responsible for the review and approval of the assessment.
 Those responsible for making final decisions on the options available.
5.5.4 There can be varying levels of assessment, depending on the criteria the organization
establishes. The greater the energy consumption, the more reason to focus on the
possibilities of reducing the consumption by designing and / or procuring the most energy
efficient equipment available in the market. These procedures should apply to all parties
performing work on behalf of the organisation, including contractors, consultants etc. The
procedures should therefore describe: -
 Communication to external contractors, service companies, consultants, etc.
 How required documented actions have been recorded.
5.5.5 By informing suppliers of the energy policy and procurement policy, the organization shall
encourage dialogue with the supplier regarding the possibility of improving energy
efficiency.
5.5.6 Organisation shall define and document energy purchasing specifications, as applicable for
effective energy use.

5 PROCEDURE
5.1 Procedure for Monitoring, Measurement and Analysis
5.1.1 Each Department ensures that the key characteristics of its operations that determine
Energy Performance of all critical equipment, are monitored, measured and analyzed at
planned intervals. Monitoring and measurement are done as per the Monitoring Plan and
analysis is done at least half yearly for key characteristics. Key characteristics include:
 Significant energy uses and other outputs of the energy review
 The relevant variables related to significant energy uses (SEUs)
 EnPIs
5.1.2 The effectiveness of the action plans in achieving objectives and targets and Evaluation of
actual versus expected energy consumption.
5.1.3 Monitoring and measurement of key characteristics by means of regular comparisons of
actual and expected consumption. Energy consumption is monitored through energy
performance indicators (EnPI).
5.1.4 Energy consumption may not be directly proportional to energy factors and hence the
most accurate practicable method of calculating targeted consumption is to be used.
Comparison between actual and targeted consumption highlights deviations and allows
hidden waste to be detected.
5.1.5 It is accepted that organizations will not necessarily have sufficient comprehensive
metering installed, and that introducing the same will potentially be very costly, time
consuming and disruptive. But, it is necessary that a demonstrable plan is available for
improving the provision of meters. There should be justification for the relevance of the
measurement frequency applied in relation to the identified energy consumption. Based
on the nature and scale of operations, different measurement intervals may be used, such
as monthly intervals, Quarterly etc. in the metering plan.
5.1.6 The effectiveness of the action plans in achieving objectives and targets are reviewed
yearly and actions taken based on this analysis.
5.1.7 Examples of monitoring and analysis include the following activities, which can directly
contribute to the register of energy saving opportunities:
 Continuous monitoring of the significant energy consumptions and associated energy
parameters
 Summarizing the significant energy consumption of individual units
 The comparison of actual and targeted energy consumption
 Intervention in the case of deviation from the expected energy consumption

 Analysis of significant deviations from the expected energy consumption, their causes
and remedies.
5.1.8 Energy Measurement Plan for monitoring and analysis of significant energy consumption
and energy parameters include the description of the following :-
 Yearly review of monitoring methodology
 How significant energy consumption and energy parameters are recorded
 Roles and responsibilities of relevant personnel
 How targeted energy consumption is arrived in relation to energy parameters.
 Re-assessment of conversion factors, if required and calibration of related equipment
5.1.9 The relationships between energy parameters and energy consumption are reviewed if
required, to ensure that consumption is always assessed against current best achievable
performance
5.1.10 Taking into consideration all the above parameters, an Energy Measurement Plan is
prepared and adopted by respective SEUs.
5.1.11 The Directorate Head’s are responsible to:-
 Identify the monitoring methodology being used and prepare Energy Monitoring Plan
 Identify the frequency for recording the energy consumption and energy parameters
 Determine energy performance of their relevant sections
 Review the performance as per pre-determined period
 Identify the reasons for energy consumption beyond the targeted levels
5.1.12 The monitoring of energy performance of various process units is carried out by respective
Directorate Heads on monthly basis in SEU departments.
5.1.13 When the average of EnPIs in a quarter is more than target, (criteria for minimum
deviation is nil), SEU Departments are required to analyse the energy consumption
considering planned and emergency shutdowns as applicable, if any during the period.
5.1.14 SEU department mentions the contribution of total deviations and arrive at an action plan
to close the gap,if needed,and implement the same. Action plan may not be required, if
the variations are justified with the designed values.
5.1.15 Action plans are required,when the energy performance is not accounted for.
5.1.16 When EnPIs are not achieved during two consecutive months with justification and also
after the implementation of the action, they are projected in the MRM with the
justification and the action plan initiated to bring it under control.
5.1.17 Energy monitoring Plan is captured in Format No. RDSO/EnCP04/01.
5.1.18 Energy measurement Plan is captured in Format No. RDSO/EnCP04/02.
