What is Risk assessment ?
A risk assessment is simply a
careful examination of what, in
your work, could cause harm to
people, valuable things or the
environment so that you can
weigh up whether you have
taken enough precautions orshould do more to prevent
harm.

IS IT SIMPLE AND UNCOMPLICATED
FOR YOU ? Most Guidelines -- primarily
originating with the UKGovernment , and drafted by
people with impeccable legal andscholarly credentials havegradually tended to becomesimpler and less complex.
Take a look at Official UK documentsissued in
1996
2002
2006

The 5 Step process recommended by
the UK Health and Safety executive
(dated 2006) Step 1 -- Identify the hazards
Step 2 -- Decide who might be harmed and how
Step 3 -- Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions
Step 4 -- Record your findings and implement them
Step 5 -- Review your assessment and update ifnecessary.
Dont overcomplicate the process.
In many organisations, the risks are well known and the necessary control measures are easy toapply. You probably already know whether, for example, you have employees who move heavyloads and so could harm their backs, or where people are most likely to slip or trip. If so, check thatyou have taken reasonable precautions to avoid injury

What is the legal Aim of Risk
Assessment ?
The aim is to minimise accidents and ill health
on board ship.

Are legal requirements the only
reasons for you to do Risk
Assessment? Legislation now requires Risk assessment as in the ISM code and the COSWP for
UK Ships.
Legislation trails the industry best practices such as OCIMFs publishedrequirements.
Best practices trail the common sense of seafarers applying their presence ofmind when faced with difficult situations.
High Situational awareness in
the shipboard team leads thenatural Risk Assessmentprocess in all cases.

Legal requirements or Continual
Improvement ? While legally required risk assessment
oriented on static documentation is useful
AFTER an event, Risk assessment as part of a
continual improvement spiral is a dynamic
process leading to professional excellence.

The objectives of this module
The objective of this module is to simply
connect the process of formal risk
assessment to the continual
improvement spiral ---which comes naturally with common
sense, presence of mind and HIGH
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS in a shipboard
team --- and leads to excellence.

High Situational Awareness --
Whenever we have a high situational awareness -- we are continuously carrying out riskassessment to ensure that our interests are safe with the unavoidable laws of nature.

When is Formal Risk assessment needed ?
When we work with complex systems in which all consequences of our actions are not
immediately and continuously apparent to everyone formal risk assessment is needed.

source of potential
harm or damage ora situation with
potential for harm
or damage;

What is meant by RISK ?
RISK has two elements:
the likelihood that a
hazard may occur;
the consequences of
the hazardous event.

Does Human Competence matter ?
YES . In the absence of historical data, an estimate of thelikelihood can be made based on the experience and judgment of the personscarrying out the Risk Assessment.

Should risk assessment and planning
be pursued until all risks are
eliminated completely ?
NO. The amount of effort that is put into anassessment should depend on the level of
risks identified and whether those risks are
already controlled by satisfactory precautionsor procedures to ensure that they are as low
as reasonably practicable. (ALARP)

How can you identify hazards ?
Asking these three questions should
help to identify where there is a
hazard:
Is there a source of harm?
W
ho (or what) could be harmed? How could harm occur?

For a ship approaching a port to
anchor What kinds of Hazards
can be present ?An example of the way Hazards can be listed
from the outside of the vessel and
going inwards is
Natural Or God Made external hazards
Man Made external hazards
Operational Hazards caused by theplanned task itself.
Personnel Hazards
Internal and Hidden Factors affecting
judgment in individuals.

What is meant by operational
hazards ? Operational Hazards are those
created by the planned task
itself
Squat, Bank Effect, Ships
momentum, The momentumof the anchor, Loss of steering
in shallows, and machinery
and management failure.

What are the personnel related
hazards ?
Personnel Hazards can
include Injury due to
weather, incompetence,
Debris from anchor chain,
brake handling, slips , trips ,strains from manual work
and from not wearing PPE.

What hidden and internal factors
can be hazardous in an operation
like anchoring?
Hidden factors can include --
Charter requirements for speed,
Reporting and communication
requirements adding to
workload, Inadequate rest ,
unresolved domestic andinterpersonal concerns , and any
other concerns causing
abnormal stress in individuals.

Murphys law and the hazards which
can be discarded from formal risk
assessment ?
A useful thumb rule with great practical value in deciding whichhazard to ignore is Murphys law which states ---
ANYTHING THAT CAN GO WRONG , WILL GO WRONG !
The way around is to make it impossible for things to go wrong forthe planned task.
Hazards that clearly possess negligible
potential for harm should not bedocumented or given further
consideration, provided that appropriate
control measures remain in place. --

How can we ensure all relevant
hazards have been identified ?
The person doing the risk assessment should take the
latest updated inputs from all those involved in the plan.

MEASURING and MANAGING RISK
Note: o indicates the presence of Risk Increasing Factors
And q indicates the presence of Risk Decreasing Factors
R oq = k o q (p oq * s oq)
Where, R is a function of :-
p the probability of occurrence of an event;
s is the severity of consequences of that event;
And, k is a factor that represents the Human Actor / Factor.
Risk: is the combination of the probability of occurrenceof an event and the severity of its consequences.

What is the aim of an effective Plan ?
The aim of planning is to mitigate the risks fromall known hazards effectively and elegantly.
Specific points here would include : Depth of water, nature of bottom,

How can you ensure the effective
communication of the Plan ?
It is important while briefing the team on the plan that the Communications
loop is completed . Taking feedback from each participant , if necessary byuestionin and confirmin to ensure that all hazards are addressed and

When should a departure from the
plan be considered ?
If a new un-anticipated risk or hazard
emerges, a contingency plan must beintegrated with a revised risk assessment, and
communicated with the full team.
Only in such a case should the initial plan be
amended to mitigate the full new set of risks.

How does Debriefing take the
team into a continual improvement
spiral ? The last element in the continuous
improvement spiral is Review, which is based
on raw accurate inputs immediately after the
operation.
This review then becomes the basis for
evolving a better more scientifically evolvedAssessment of the risks in say anchoring --
the next time .

When should the debriefing take
place ?
It is often impractical to conduct a full debrief
with all participants immediately after an
anchoring operation due to tiredness. But this
exercise is of great value in enhancing team
skills even when quick observations are
straightforwardly recorded for later analysis.

Implementing the Risk Assessment & Review
1. On completion, the Risk Assessment should be madeavailable for review by all likely to be affected by it.
2. Review of the Risk Assessment is necessary when itit is no longer valid or is suspect.
3. Review is the Risk Assessment is also necessary whensignificant changes have taken place since the RA.
4. The RA must be reviewed by operational personnel whomay be involved especially if they were not involved in RA.

Steps for Shipboard Risk Assessment
1. Divide the task into a stage-wise series of activities thatcan be identified and documented.
2. Identify all the hazards that are associated with each ofactivities that have been documented.
3. Ascertain consequences or impact if the hazards aredevelop to their full potential.
4. Consider the severity of consequences of each hazardand identify the relevant band with reference to Table B.

5. Consider the probability or likelihood of accident occurringand identify the relevant band with reference to Table B.
6. Determine the resultant Risk level in the Risk AssessmentForm under the Risk Factor Column R.
7. Ascertain whether the Risk is High,Medium, Low orNegligible by the Chart shading in Risk Matrix Table.
8. Identify preventive and mitigating actions that wouldbring the Risk to an acceptable level. Note them Action.
