    WHO CAN CONDUCT HIRAC

    Depending on the size, structure, and industry of the organization, different people or groups may
    undertake HIRAC. The following people are usually in charge of doing HIRAC:

    1. Occupational health and safety professionals are those who have received training in these areas.
    They are qualified to recognize risks, evaluate dangers, and suggest countermeasures to lessen such
    risks.

    2. Supervisors and Managers: In their various spheres of influence, frontline supervisors and managers
    frequently have a significant role to play in carrying out HIRAC. They are able to recognize risks unique to
    their work domains and possess a thorough awareness of the daily operations.

    3. Workplace Safety Committees: A lot of companies have safety committees with members from
    different departments or fields of expertise. These committees work together to determine risks,
    evaluate hazards, and create control measures.

    4. Workers: Since workers have direct experience with the jobs they complete and the hazards they
    face, involving them in the HIRAC process is crucial. Workers can help design efficient control methods
    and offer insightful information about possible risks.

    The employer or organization's management is ultimately in charge of performing HIRAC, and they
    should make sure that the procedure is followed correctly to safeguard the health and safety of every
    employee.

    THREE MAJOR STEPS IN HIRAC

    Step 1: Hazard Identification

    Identify the potential hazards in the workplace by conducting a thorough inspection of the work site,
    equipment’s, and work processes to be able to identify the potential risk that these could have to the
    employee's health and safety
    Step 2: Risk Assessment

    Determine the degree of risk connected to each hazard. This entails assessing the possibility
    and seriousness of possible injury. Employers can objectively assess the risks by using a variety
    of risk assessment tools and methodologies, such as risk matrices or checklists. Employers can
    focus their attention and resources on controlling the most important hazards first by
    evaluating the risks.

    Step 3: Risk Control

    This may entail putting in place administrative or engineering controls, such as safe work
    processes or employee training, or installing safety guards or better ventilation systems.
    Employers can successfully lower the probability and severity of events by putting these
    controls in place. To guarantee the effectiveness of the controls and make any required
    adjustments, regular monitoring and assessment are also crucial.
