Occupational Health, Safety & Environmental Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Control Procedure
- HSE-Health, Safety & Environment
- QHSE-Quality, Health, Safety & Environment
- LM-Line Manager
- PE-Project Engineer
- IEE-Initial Environmental Evaluation
- Hazard-Anything with the potential to harm life, health or property
- Hazard-The process of identifying all hazards in the workplace Identification
- Risk-Potential outcome of a hazard. It is the possibility of injury, illness, damage or loss occurring as a result of a hazard
- Risk Assessment-The process of assessing all of the risks associated with each of the hazards identified during the hazard identification process
- Risk Control-The process by which the risks associated with each of the hazards present in the workplace are controlled
- Significance-Organization will define its criteria to determine which aspects are Criteria “significant” and which are not. Additionally, all those aspects of the Organization’s operation within the scope of this procedure that are regulated by law will be classified as significant.
Hazard Identification Form
- Health and Safety (HSE) in charge along with the assistance of HSE team (Project Engineer/Manager, consultant or representative) shall prepare a list to identify all existing or potential health & safety hazards that have or can have a direct impact on the operations of all ongoing projects. Refer to Hazard Identification Form (as per organisation or client’s approved format) which shall be used for risk assessment activities and determining appropriate control measures.
- The identification of hazards shall be carried out by using the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) form/format. Refer to Job Safety Analysis (APPROVED HSE/FORM FORMAT by the organisation/client).
Jobs tasks, Activities, or another work pattern which shall assist in the hazard identification process, include:
- Incident Reports
- Weekly Report
- Monthly Injury Record
- Project Injuries Statistics
- Initial Incident Report
- Hazard identification (HZ) process shall be carried out before and during the introduction of a new work system to a workplace, before and during alterations to the use or the location of a working system, and wherever new hazard information becomes available.
- Worksite/project HSE in charge along with the assistance of HSE team shall prepare an Initial Environmental Evaluation (IEE) to identify all existing or potential environmental impacts and hazards related to them that have or can have a direct impact on the operations of all Business Support Department /Projects, and society. potential environmental impacts report will be prepared on (HSE RECOMMENDED FORMAT FORM) and used to perform the quantitative risk assessment.
All MEP/Construction Activities, which shall assist in the identification process of environmental impacts & hazards related to them, include:
- Likely
- Occasionally
- Unlikely
- Highly Unlikely
- Fatality
- Major Injury (c) Minor Injury (d) First Aid
- (e) Negligible
Identified Environmental Impacts Assessment
- Likely
- Occasionally
- Unlikely
- Highly Unlikely
- Low
- Moderate
- High
- Very high
- Insignificant risk so no action required
- Must be attended to preferably within 1 month but issues such as funding may make it more appropriate to rectify the hazard up to 12 months later
- Should be attended and remedial measures to be put in place immediately
- Risks should be attended to within one working day and interim controls to be put in place immediately
- Risks must be attended to immediately. Activities should be suspended until controls are in place
Analyzation of Derived Data
- Project
- Location involved
- Hazard involved
- Risk Rating
- Control Measures taken
- The person responsible for risk control
Hierarchy of Control
- Worksite HSE in charge will also assess activities of stakeholders that may impact the Organization’s HSE objectives and targets.
- This procedure should be reviewed on an annual basis and/or when significant changes occur to the Organization’s operations.
- HSE audits would be carried out following standard operating procedure on HSE Planning and Auditing (HSE-SOP-03) to ensure the operational control and conformance with the standards.
- The recommended corrective action reports regarding observed non- compliance are submitted to Project/Site Manager for implementation accordingly. Follow-up HSE Audit Report (HSE/FORM-APPROVED FORMAT) report is used to ensure the implementation of the recommended corrective actions of the previous report. The applicable preventive action is also incorporated in the system regularly for continuous improvement.
- The following format might be used for the Occupational Health, Safety & Environmental Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Control Procedure:
- Hazard Identification Sheet
- Typical HSE Hazard List
- Environmental Risk Assessment and Control Form
- H & S Risk Assessment and Control Form
- Life Cycle Check Form
- HSE Audit Report
- Environmental Hazard-Significance Identification Questionnaire
- Job Safety Analysis Form
- HSE Planning and Auditing
