    Risk Assessment

    Objectives

    By the end of this presentation you


    will know:
     What risk assessment is;
     Who’s responsibility are they?
     Where the need for risk
    assessment comes from; and
     What risks should be assessed?
    Risk Assessment -
    What Is It?
     Identification of hazards

     Determining the likelihood that


    these hazards will cause harm.

     Prioritising prevention and control


    measures.
    Introduction
     It is a requirement of the Permit to
    Work procedure employed within CCIC
    that a Risk Assessment is carried out
    before a permit is issued to carry out on
    CCIC site.

    Risk Assessment
    Permit to Work

    All Task
    Responsibilities
     Area Authority
     Site Manager
     Performing Authority
     The person who will undertake the task
     HSE specialist (if necessary)
    What are Risk
    Assessments?
     A careful examination of what in your work,
    could cause harm to:
    People,
    Environment,
    Assets,
    Reputation.

     The aim is to make sure no one gets hurt or


    becomes ill.
    What is a HAZARD?
    The
    potential
    for:

     Human injury or loss of life


     Damage to the environment
     Damage to material assets
     Or a combination of these
    What is a risk?

    “The likelihood of harm resulting


    from a hazard”
    The analysis of risk will always consider
    the severity of harm, the numbers likely
    to be exposed to it and the consequences.

    Risk = Severity x Probability


    Risk Assessment
    Levels
    Three escalating levels of Risk Assessment can be
    used depending upon the complexity & inherent
    risk of the task. Task may be classified as:

     Tasks carried out without a Permit to Work


    Tasks classified as moderately low risk
    Tasks and activities requiring a formal
    Risk Assessment.
    Why do we have to do
    risk assessment?
     So that no one is hurt or becomes ill.
     Part of safety culture
     Increase’s awareness.
     Reduce claims
     Increase morale
    What risks should be
    assessed?

    PRIORITIZE RISKS INTO LOW, MEDIUM & HIGH


    Standards for Action
    1. Low Risk – Action within 1 month

    2. Medium Risk – Action within 2


    weeks

    3. High Risk – Stop job until action


    completed
    Risk Assessment

    K.I.S.S
    5 Step Process
    1. Look for and list the hazards
    2. Decide who might be harmed and how
    3. Evaluate risks arising from hazards and
    decide whether existing controls are
    adequate
    4. Record the findings
    5. Review assessment when necessary
    Step 1

    Look for the hazards

     Involve employees and safety responsible


     Hazards may include what ?
    Step 1
    Identify Hazards & Potential Accidents

     Search for HAZARDS!


     Produced by Work
     Produced by Environment
     Repeat job observation as many times as
    necessary to identify all hazards

     Recognize the Hazards?


     Think how we can control them
    Step 2
     Decide who might be harmed
    Employees
    Cleaners
    Visitors
    Contractors
    Maintenance
    etc.
    Step3

    Evaluate the risks and decide whether


    existing controls are adequate or should
    more be done.

     Safe Working Procedures


     Reasonably practicable
     Cost / benefit
    Example

    E.g. To reduce risk drive at 10 mph.

     Reduce chance of crashing


     Reduce injuries
     Inconvenience to you & others
     Outweighs the benefit
     Not reasonably practicable
    Step4

    You must record the significant findings


    of your assessment.
    Tell your employees about your
    findings .

    Suitable and sufficient - not perfect.


    Step5

    Review your assessment and revise it if


    necessary.

     New machines
     New substances
     New procedures
    Revision
     Look for the hazards
     Decide who might be harmed
     Evaluate the risks
     Record your findings
     Review your assessment

    Good HSE is good business.
