HazardA hazard is the potential for harm. In

practical terms, a hazard often is associated

with a condition or activity that, if leftuncontrolled, can result in an injury or

illness.

WHAT IS A HAZARD

ANALYSIS?

A hazard analysis is a

technique that focuses on job tasks asa way to identify hazards before they

occur. It focuses on the relationship

between the worker, the task, the

tools, and the work environment.

HAZARDS in the

WORKPLACE that have the

potential to cause: Irritation and Annoyances

Minor Injuries

Serious Injuries

Illness

Death

What to do?


6/39

1. Involve your employees.

It is very important to involve your employees in the

hazard analysis process. They have a unique

understanding of the job, and this knowledge isinvaluable for finding hazards. Involving employees will

help minimize oversights, ensure a quality analysis, and

get workers to buy in to the solutions because they will

share ownership in their safety and health program.

2. Review your accident history.

Review with your employees yourworksites history of

accidents and occupational illnesses that needed

treatment, losses

that required repair or replacement, and any nearmisses

events in which an accident or loss did not occur, but

could have. These events are indicators that the existing

hazard controls (if any) may not be adequate and deserve

more scrutiny.


7/39

3. Conduct a preliminary job review.Discuss with your employees the hazards they

know exist in their current work and surroundings.

Brainstorm with them for ideas to eliminate or control

those hazards. If any hazards exist that pose an

immediate danger to an employees life or health, take

immediate action to protect the worker. Any problemsthat can be corrected easily should be corrected as

soon as possible. Do not wait to complete your job

hazard analysis. This will demonstrate your commitment

to safety and health and enable you to focus on the

hazards and jobs that need more study because of theircomplexity.

Controlling Hazard


9/39

Is a preventative medicine

concerned with preventing injury anddisease in the workplace. It uses theprinciples of recognition, evaluation

and control of hazards to reduce therisks of injury and disease.

11/39

Heat Cataract

Frequent exposure to rays from molten or red-hot materials.

Hearing Loss

Short intense noise exposure. e.g. Hammer, forge, explosivesand etc.

Asbestosis

Exposure to minute airborne asbestos fiber.

Vibration Induced Disease

Exposure to rapid and continuous motion.


12/39

SilicosisExposure to silica dust from sand blasting or foundry work.

Allergic Contact Dermatitis

Is a form of contact dermatitis that is the manifestation of anallergic response caused by contact with a substance. It isaccepted to be the most prevalent form of immunotoxicityfound in humans.

Back InjuriesLifting, pushing, carrying or otherwise moving or restrainingan object.

To whom the HAZARDS must be reported?

responsible for the maintaining and monitoring

process conditions and the advantage to optimizewhen the opportunities arise. Responsibilities alsoinclude the analyzing and interpretation of testresults that are in completion through the unitoperators.

Control RoomOperators

who provides guidance, instruction, directionand leadership to a group of other individuals for the

purpose of achieving a key result or group of alignedresults.

Team Leaders or

Shift Supervisors

responsible for creating, maintaining and improvingsafety in the workplace. They are responsible formaking sure that legislation is adhered to and assistin planning, implementing, monitoring and

reviewing the health and safety strategies of anorganization.

Safety Officers

Inspect the workplace. Investigate accidents anddangerous occurrences. Investigate risk of seriousinjury to, or harm to the health of, any person. Keepinformed on current occupational safety and healthinformation. Report hazards to the employer

telephone number.

Two-way radioActivating a break glass fire

18/39

Emergency Alarm

The plant emergency alarm is used in the event ofemergencies such as:

Fires

ExplosionsGas leaks

Liquid leaks and spoils

Major accidents

The emergency alarm is used to alert all employees,

contractors and resistors that an emergency incident has

occurred. The plant emergency response team( if applicable)

is also alerted.


19/39

For plant evacuation, these are the steps to be followed:

Stop work Leave worksite in safe

condition

Proceed in orderly manner

to designated muster point. Report to muster

coordinator or supervisor

After the emergency has passed, an emergency All

clear will be indicated. The muster coordinator or supervisor

will then advise the personnel under their control to return to

work if it is safe to do so.


20/39

Is the process of identifying all situation or events thatcould cause injury or illness. Some of these hazards are

obvious and other hazards are not so obvious such as skin

cancer caused by prolonged exposure to the sun.


21/39

Hazard in the workplace can arise from anumber of source including:

Poor workplace design; Hazardous tasks being performed in the

workplace; Incorrect installation, commissioning, useinspection, maintenance, service, repair oralternation of plant in the workplace and; People being exposed to hazardoussubstances, dangerous goods, processes orenvironment.

Is the process used to determine the

likelihood that people may be exposed to

injury, illness or disease in the workplace

arising from any situation identified during

the hazard identification process.


35/39

Is the process used to identify all practicable

measures for eliminating or reducing the likelihoodof injury, illness or disease in the workplace, to

implement the measures and to continually review

the measures in order to ensure their effectiveness.


36/39

Why Is this important?As an employer, you have your business objectives as well as

moral and legal obligations to provide and maintain a safe and healthyworkplace.

To effectively manage your business (including health and safety in your

workplace) and discharge your moral and legal obligations, it is imperative

for:

any potentially hazardous situations (which may cause injury, illness ordisease) in your workplace to be identified on an ongoing basis before

they occur;

the likelihood of each of the hazardous situations occurring to be

assessed;

if there is any likelihood of occurrence, appropriate measures to prevent

their occurrence to be identified and effectively implemented; and

the measures to be continually reviewed to ensure their effectiveness.

The terms "hazard identification", "risk assessment" and "risk

control" are commonly used to summarize the systematic approach for

undertaking the above activities for managing workplace health and safety.


37/39

Is design to eliminate the risk, or if that is not reasonably

practicable, to reduce the risk so far as is reasonably practicable , if

the current measures are found to be inadequate and there is a

likelihood that injury. Illness or disease will result from a practical

situation

Elimination of hazard;

Substitution of hazardous

processes or materials with

safer ones;

Engineering controls Administrative controls and;

Personal protective equipment


38/39

Reasonably Practicable means practicable having

regard to:

the likelihood of a hazard or risk occurring (i.e. theprobability of a person being exposed to harm);

the degree of harm that would result if the hazard or

risk occurred (i. e the potential seriousness of injury

of harm) ; what the person concerned knows, ought

reasonably know, about the hazard or risk and any

ways of eliminating or reducing that hazard or risk;

the availability and suitability of ways to eliminate or

reduce the hazard or risk; and

the cost of eliminating or reducing the hazard or

risk.
