SECTION J – HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT
1 INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
1.1 This section illustrates the process for hazard identification, risk assessment and
safety submission as required of the Work Party carrying out airside and/or
development projects at Changi Airport and Seletar Airport.
1.2 These procedures apply to all projects that involve physical changes to the airport
infrastructure and new systems installed in the airport (e.g. new building
developments, airside works and major landside works) which have impact on
public safety and changes with significant safety implications. Aviation Safety
must be considered for any works performed in the airside in addition to WSH
risks. Risk assessment shall be carried out at the beginning and throughout the
following 3 stages of the project:
a) conceptual planning and design;

b) detailed design; and
c) detailed construction and method.
The risk assessments at the 3 stages, if applicable, may be documented separately

or together in one or more risk assessment forms, depending on the nature and
scale of the project.
1.3 The objective of this set of procedures is to ensure that the Work Party has
adequate knowledge, commitment and resources to manage safety effectively, and
that projects are designed and constructed to meet a high level of safety standards.
1.4 Safety submissions are required at beginning and throughout the planning and
execution phases of a project so that CAG can monitor and track closely the safety
measures put in place during the project life cycle.
1.5 CAG reserves the right to update and/or revise this set of procedures as and when
necessary. The Work Party shall comply with the latest procedures accordingly as
instructed.
2 RISK ASSESSMENT FORM
2.1 A risk assessment form shall be created at the commencement of the project when
the Work Party is officially appointed.
2.2 The risk assessment form shall be used to identify potential safety hazards that
could arise during any phase of the project works and to allow risk analysis to be
performed so that all the safety concerns are satisfactorily managed and mitigated.
2.3 The risk assessment form is a live document that is passed through each and every
phase of a project, from the planning to the implementation and post
construction/maintenance stages. The risk assessment form shall be updated and
appended with new items (if necessary) at regular intervals (not more than 6
months apart) during the duration of the project, or at other appropriate times such
as at the commencement of a new phase of the project.
2.4 The risk assessment form shall be prepared in a format as shown in the sample
found in the Attachment A19.
3 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
3.1 The Work Party shall develop a complete description of the project and the
environment in which the project is to be operationalised.
3.2 The objective of the hazard identification process is for the Work Party to identify
potential safety hazards for airport users and other affected parties so that safety
issues are carefully and fully considered prior to actual works being carried out on
site. The Work Party shall consider all interfaces between the project and the
existing airport system, and works proposed or under construction or on adjoining
or nearby sites.
3.3 The Work Party‘s project manager, safety manager, design engineer, site foremen
or any competent staff shall endorse on the risk assessment form.
3.4 Under the ‗Identified Hazards‘ column, the Work Party shall be responsible for
identifying as comprehensively as possible, all possible risks associated with his
system or equipment design, project scheduling or planning, supply, delivery,
storage, installation, testing, commissioning, operation relevant to each
phase/portion of the project works, including the post-completion maintenance
stages. Such hazards could arise due to design or planning constraints, equipment
limitations, unsafe practices, or other external factors.
3.5 The location(s) of such hazards, and a full description of the potential safety
concerns shall be clearly explained and documented. Where necessary, the Work
Party shall illustrate the potential safety concerns using photographs or an
appropriately scaled sketches or drawings.
4 RISK ASSESSMENT
4.1 For each potential hazard identified, the Work Party shall perform a risk
assessment by reviewing the severity of the impact of the hazard in the light of all
possible environmental, human, equipment (hardware and software) and their
interfacing factors, and by assessing the likelihood of these scenarios. Such risks
should include all possible damage to equipment and property, harm to project
personnel and general public, as well as plausible impact on airport operations due
to first and third party equipment malfunction or human error. Each hazard or
safety deficiency identified shall be documented together with a detailed
description of the unsafe scenario concerned in the risk assessment form.

4.2 Each identified hazard or safety deficiency shall be allocated a risk category
estimated according to the procedure described in this section.
4.3 Risk probability is defined as the likelihood that an unsafe event or condition might
occur. The likelihood or accident frequency resulting from the identified hazards
or safety deficiencies shall be estimated using Table 1 below.
Table 1: Risk Probability

Probability of Occurrence
Quantitative definition Meaning Value
Frequent Likely to occur many times (has 5
occurred frequently in the industry).
Occasional Likely to occur some times (has 4
occurred infrequently in the industry).
Remote Unlikely, but possible to occur (has 3
occurred rarely in the industry).
Improbable Very unlikely to occur (not known to 2
have occurred in the industry).
Extremely Improbable Information not available in the 1
literature.
4.4 Risk severity is defined as the potential consequences of an unsafe event or

condition, taking as reference the worst foreseeable situation. The severity of
accidents resulting from the identified hazards or safety deficiencies shall be
estimated using the definitions in Table 2 taking into account a pessimistic but
reasonable assessment of their consequences.
Table 2: Risk Severity

Severity of Occurrence
Aviation Meaning Value
definition
Catastrophic  Equipment destroyed. A
 Death, fatal diseases or multiple major
injuries.
Major  A large reductions in safety margins, physical B
distress or a workload such that the operators
cannot be relied upon to perform their tasks
accurately or completely.
 Serious injury or life-threatening occupational
medical conditions (includes amputations,
major fractures, multiple injuries,
occupational cancer, acute poisoning).
 Major equipment damage
Hazardous  A significant reduction in safety margins, a C
reduction in the ability of the operators to cope
with adverse operating conditions as a result of
the increase in workload, or as a result of
condition impairing their efficiency.
 Serious incidents.
 Injury to persons that require medical
treatment or ill-health leading to disability
(includes lacerations, burns, sprains, minor
fractures, dermatitis, deafness, work-related
upper limb disorders).
Minor  Nuisance. D
 Operating limitations.
 Use of emergency procedures.
 Minor incidents.
 Injury or ill-health requiring first-aid only
(includes minor cuts and bruises, irritation, ill-
health with temporary discomfort).
Negligible  Not likely to cause damages, injury or ill- E
health..
4.5 The risk category of the identified hazard or safety deficiency shall be assessed
using Table 3 below by cross-referencing estimated risk probability with the risk
severity.

5 DEFENCES PROPOSED
5.1 Proposals and recommendations for the elimination or reduction of each of the
identified hazards or safety deficiencies shall be made in the risk assessment form.
These proposals and recommendations shall be explained as detailed as possible to
allow an initial and objective assessment of practicability. Annotated photographs
or appropriately scaled sketch drawings shall be used to illustrate recommendations
wherever possible.
5.2 The Work Party shall ensure that these proposals and recommendations are sound
and can effectively mitigate, reduce or eliminate the risks identified.
5.3 The Work Party shall also consider each hazard or safety deficiency identified in
the risk assessment form and recommended suitable means of eliminating it or
reducing its associated risks as far as practicable. The Work Party shall record all
identified hazards or safety deficiencies and assess whether their associated risk
tolerability are acceptable. The Work Party shall also document the risk
probability, severity and risk category associated with each hazard or safety
deficiency after the implementation of the proposed mitigation measures in the risk
assessment form. The Work Party shall prepare detailed proposals to eliminate or
mitigate that particular hazard and its consequences. These proposals must then be
circulated to the other related stakeholders for their inputs on the effectiveness and
practicality. The Work Party shall then follow through to ensure that the level of
safety becomes acceptable or, if not possible, tolerable. If the outcome of the
assessment for the same consequences is assessed to be unacceptable, then the
Work Party shall source for new mitigating solutions or consider abandoning the
hazardous work.
6 SAFETY SUBMISSION AND VERIFICATION CHECK
6.1 The Work Party shall submit the risk assessment form and present to CAG
Group/Division Safety Action Group (SAG) through the CAG Superintending
Officer (S.O.), Project Officer and/or Coordinating Officer each time the form is
updated, or when requested for by CAG.
6.2 The CAG Group/Division SAG will review the Work Party‘s recommendations and
determine if the identified risks have been removed to the extent that is reasonably
practicable, or that the risk associated with remaining hazards is tolerable.
6.3 The CAG Group/Division SAG may dictate that additional safety measures be
provided by the Work Party if the proposed defence mechanisms are found to be
insufficient. The Work Party shall comply with such instructions accordingly.
6.4 The Work Party and the CAG S.O., Project Officer and/or Coordinating Officer shall
conduct inspections and checks on site to verify that all the proposed safety defence
mechanisms are properly carried out.
6.5 Notwithstanding paragraphs 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 above, the Work Party shall be
entirely responsible for its site, system and/or equipment safety, by taking all
necessary precautions and appropriate safety measures and by complying with all
standing safety requirements stipulated by CAG, CAAS and any other regulatory
authorities.
7 PENALTY
CAG reserved the right to impose penalty on the Work Party for non-compliance
with any safety requirements. Such recommendations could include:
a) temporary suspension of individuals who are found to be negligent by

withholding their work passes;
b) removal of passes of negligent workers permanently leading to their

expulsion from the work site;
c) removal of the Work Party‘s Project Manager or Safety Officer if they are
deemed not competent for the job or not effective in ensuring that adequate
safety measures are taken; and
d) issuance of partial stop work orders to specific areas with severe non-
compliance to the Airport Operational and Safety (AOS) requirements.

2. The Work Party shall request for and obtain as-built services
drawings from the parties above to serve as references in order
to produce an excavation/piling work plan and to work out a
services protection and/or diversion scheme.
3. The Work Party shall carry out services detection on site through
engaging the services of a licensed cable detection worker (LCDW).
The particulars of the licensed cable detector shall be submitted to
the CAG project officer and consultants in charge for endorsement.
The CAG project officer and consultants shall make necessary
arrangements to ensure that all related electrical services are
turned on to facilitate cable detection work.
4. Where advised by the LCDW or requested for by the services

owners concerned, the Work Party shall provide trial pits that are
manually dug under the close supervision of the LCDW to expose,
identify and confirm the services detected. Trial holes shall be
required to positively identify all communications cables, fibre optic
cables, gas and water pipe location, as well as all other services
within or in the proximity of the intended excavation/piling area that
cannot be accurately located or easily detected. Detailed
information shall be obtained from the appropriate party as to the
possibility of such services being located within the proposed
construction area. The Work Party shall take all necessary
precautions to ensure that these “undetectable services” are
located and protected during the earthworks. Examples of
“undetectable services” are certain telecommunication/data
cables, un-energized cables, CAFHI fuel pipes, fibre optic cables,
co-axial cables and radar cables.
5 All trial holes must be carried out with caution and dug by manual
means. Excavator or other machinery shall not be used for digging
trial holes. The method statement for trial holes and trenches shall
be submitted to CAG project officer one week in advance for
approval before they are dug (Form A).
6. The LCDW will compile a comprehensive services layout report on

information gained from existing services drawings provided by the
relevant authorities and the trial holes dug on site. The LCDW
report will recommend suitable measures to be taken to protect all
services on site, based on sound industrial practice and
recommendations by the services owners. The LCDW report
showing exact locations of services found shall be submitted to
relevant services owners for verification.
Check boxes when

completed
7 The Work Party shall implement appropriate measures as required
by the project consultant to protect the services found.
8 The LCDW report shall also highlight all discrepancies between the
services layout indicated on plans versus their actual location found
on site. CAG project officer shall coordinate a meeting to sort out
such discrepancies with all relevant services owners concerned.
9. The Work Party shall make distinctive markings on site using the
following color schemes:
 Green tape shall be used to demarcate the boundary within

which services detection has been completed by the LCDW.
No excavation/piling shall be allowed at all time outside the
area demarcated by the green tape, i.e. where services
detection has not been carried out.
 Red tape shall be used to demarcate the areas where

services have been detected and identified, including any
safety buffer required in its vicinity. Sign-posting indicating
the type of services found and barricades on the ground
surface shall be prominently displayed by the Work Party to
prevent any works from spilling into these protected areas
and jeopardizing the services within.
All workers on site shall be briefed on the above markings and

warned against carrying out any excavation/piling works bounded
within the red tape.
10. The Work Party shall install safety barriers to protect workers from
falling into cable trenches or trial holes that are left exposed.
11. The Work Party shall be required to establish a continuous

monitoring plan to ensure that no worker or equipment that could
cause damage intrudes into the areas where services are found.
12. Upon completing items 1 to11, the Work Party shall submit an
updated excavation/piling work plan showing markings done on site,
proposed work methods and services protection and/or diversion
scheme to the CAG project officer, consultants and relevant service
owners for approval at least 2 weeks before the planned
commencement of actual excavation/piling work.

Check boxes when

completed
13. No excavation/piling works shall commence unless the CAG
project officer is satisfied that all the above measures listed in items
1 to 12 above have been met and that other necessary precautions
have been taken on site. A „Permit to Excavate‟ (Form B) would then
be issued to the Work Party.
14. Only Registered Excavator Operators (REO) or Probational

Registered Excavator Operators (PREO) will be allowed to operate
excavator machines within the work area.
15. Prior to commencement of works, the Work Party‟s safety manager

shall conduct a briefing to all foremen and workers to highlight to them
the services layout and to ensure that no works are to be carried out
within the services area bounded by red tape unless under the direct
supervision of the LCDW and with the explicit approval of the Work
Party‟s project manager, consultants and CAG project officer.
16. In areas where it has been established that services are or may be
present, no excavation is to be carried out by excavator.
Trial holes are to be hand dug until services are successfully
located or desired excavation depth is achieved.
17. Other than having the LCDW to provide standing supervision on site,
a competent full-time excavation/piling supervisor shall also be
deployed to monitor the site operations during the entire earthworks
and to provide close guidance to the excavator operator.
18. The Work Party shall provide protective steel plates or conduits
over exposed services positions so as to prevent damage due to
movements of heavy vehicles or human traffic over them.
19. If the proposed works were to overcross comms cable ducts, the
Work Party shall submit method of support and protection of these
ducts to CAG, CAAS Air Traffic Services Division and NCS
Communications Engineering Pte Ltd, Line Plant Operations
Division for approval. They shall also be informed prior to the
dismantling of supports and the backfilling of comms cable ducts.
20. Where the works would be carried out over the Approach Control
Radar (ACR) cables, NCS Communications Engineering Pte Ltd shall
be engaged for on-site standby to respond quickly to any problems.
Check boxes when

completed
21. Excavation by machine shall stop once cable slabs are exposed.
Only manual excavation is allowed after the cable slabs are
removed. Protection slabs over HT cables shall not be tampered
with and shall be remained intact unless authorised by CAG and
the Work Party‟s PE to remove them.
22. If unknown services are unaccounted in the process of excavation,

Work Party shall stop all works immediately at the affected area and
inform the CAG project officer to help to identify these services
found.
23. Where necessary, the Work Party shall plan for further cable
detection checks to scan the work area for other undetected/
undetectable services. Given the technical limitations of the
equipment currently available, investigative detection must be
carried out at each stage of the construction process. Stage by
stage detection of the underground services must be considered
and incorporated within the construction schedule for deep
excavation works. This procedure must be implemented until
services are successfully located or the effective depth of the
excavation is reached. In simple terms, detection is to be carried
out during the excavation, at intervals in accordance with the
limitations of the detection (typically every 2 to 3 metres), until
services are precisely located or the desired construction depth
is achieved.
