1.0 PURPOSE
This procedure describes the methodology of identification of Environmental Aspects as well as the
Occupational
Hazards, evaluating the Impact of the aspects and hazards, by applying a structured rating scale and taking
actions on the significant or unacceptable aspects or hazards and achieve the acceptable risks using Integrated
Management Programme

2.0 SCOPE
All activities routine or non-routine, carried out during fabrication, storage, maintenance installation at site and
activities carried out in the office premises including those carried out by our subcontractors, and the visitors
which have significant impact/risks direct or indirect on the environment and or on the OH&S.

3.0 RESPONSIBILITY
The MR and the functional representatives are responsible for identifying the aspects and hazards and their
associated risks in their respective areas alongwith the participation of workforce.

4.0 DEFINITIONS & VOCABULARY

Acceptable Risks:

Work-related event(s) in which an injury or ill health (regardless of severity) or fatality occurred, or could
have occurred

Integrated Management System- (IMS):

Management system that integrates all of BCG’s systems and processes into one complete framework,
enabling our organization to work as a single unit with unified objectives.

IRAR : Integrated Risk Assessment Review –

a methodology of conducting the Impact and Risk Assessment of EMS and OHSMS respectively as
mentioned in the definition of Risk Assessment below.

Nonconformity:
Non-fulfilment of a requirement.

Occupational Health & Safety Management System- (OHSMS):

Part of BCG’s management system used to develop and implement our QHSE Policy and manage our
OH&S risks

Prevention of Pollution, Injury & Il-health:

Use of processes, practices, techniques, materials, products, services or energy to avoid, reduce or control
the creation, emission or discharge of any type of pollutant or waste, injury, incident, accident, near-miss
and ill-health, in order to reduce adverse environmental impact and occupational hazards .

Risk
Combination of the likelihood of an occurrence of a hazardous event or exposure(s) and the severity of
injury or ill health that can be caused by the event or exposure(s)

Risk Assessment: Process of evaluating the risk(s) arising from aspect(s) or hazard(s), taking into account
the adequacy of any existing controls, and deciding whether or not the risk(s) is acceptable

Workplace: Any physical location in which work related activities are performed under the control of
BCG management.

5.0 PROCEDURE

5.1 The Manager Project and Maintenance under the guidance of the MR collect information about
various (1) Environmental aspects & (2) Occupational Health & Safety of company’s own
operation and interface activities of sub-contractor (s) / suppliers including their impacts related to
activities.

5.2 IRAR ANALYSIS format BCG/TM/FRM-04/13 to be used for gathering the information from
the concerned areas and employees.

5.3 Ensure following points are considered, while Identifying Aspects & Hazards and subsequent
impacts (EMS and OHSMS point of view);

 The activities carried out by employees as well as Sub contractors.

 The activities/ transport/ material/ packing material interface with the Suppliers
 Facilities at site / workplace.
 Monitoring trends
 Routine & non routine activities
 Normal, abnormal and emergency conditions.
 Behavioral hazards
 Hazards originating from the outside of the organization having significant risk to the
workforce.
 Falls from heights
 Collapse of excavations / trench walls
 Injury from construction plant and equipment
 Injury from moving, flying or falling objects
 Injury while handling and lifting
 Slip, Trip or fall
 Suffocation
 Exposure to hazardous chemicals, gases
 Fires
 Electric Shocks
 Emission to air
 Discharge to drain
 Contamination of land
 Noise Pollution
 Use of raw material and natural resources
 Waste management- current practices

5.4 During identification of significant environmental aspects, keep in view the applicable legislative/
regulatory and other requirements.

5.5 Compile the information and validate the same by through previous monitoring reports / any legal
notice or legal non-compliance. Also consider any accidents, minor or reportable as well as
incidents- potential emergency situations with the assistance of the concerned personnel

5.6 Based on the received/validated information, identify the aspects /hazard that can have an impact
on the environment. Ill-health or safety. Ensure that for each activity Aspect / Hazard are
mentioned separately to understand their unique rating, this will also enable identification of
unique Impact / Risk respectively.

5.7 Evaluate the identified aspects and hazards with HOD for determining significant aspects using the
criteria as given in Annexure of this procedure.

5.8 Follow the steps given below for carrying out Aspect / Hazard Identification and Impact/ Risk
Analysis:

5.9 Department / Section: Indicate the Department/ section in which IRAR is being conducted.

5.10 Activity: Indicate the activity for which the IRAR is conducted.

5.11 D/I: Direct or Indirect control over the activities.

5.12 Environmental Aspect / Occupational Hazard: the situation where the emission, vibration,
discharge, waste, noise, fire, fall, slips etc. are generated/ are probability (ies).

5.13 N/A/E: Indicate if the situation is normal, abnormal or emergency

5.14 Impact/Significant Risks: The consequence of the aspect / hazard like natural resource
depletion, soil/water/ air pollution, noise pollution, accident, slip, fall from height, exposure to gas/
heat/ dust, fatality etc. Ensure all the applicable impacts of the single aspect/ hazard are identified
separately.

5.15. Based on the above evaluation, calculate the Impact- the Magnitude as;

‘M’= (L*S)/C and rank the aspect / hazard based on impact score

(Note: For L & S Refer Annex-1) In case of the legal requirement found during the IRAR ,
identify and mark with “LL” at the relevant column of the format.

5.16 MR and the Heads of Fabrication and Installation to validate the score w.r.t. the current
practices and the monitoring trend. Ensure that the impact is calculated on the current status
and practices of the activities.

5.17 Arrive at significance level with following criteria

 Applicable legal and other requirements , identify for all the significant aspects the same by
the legend LL
 The existing control level of the organization in terms of the Engineering control, Documented
Procedures etc.
 all the emergency situations are taken in to consideration
These parameters shall decide the minimum score from where the significant impacts can be
identified. As a general guideline Risk Value greater than 10 and above should be considered for
defining controls. All the legal requirements are considered as significant.

5.18 Record the significant aspects/hazards in the “RISK Register” BCG/TM/FRM -05/13 for
which Integrated Management Programme is required to be planned while for others ensure that
Integrated Operational Procedure are identified. Ensure action plan by way of Integrated
Management Program (IMP) Objectives Targets and IMP- BCG/TM/FRM -06/13 for such
hazards follow the below mentioned hierarchy:

1. Elimination
2. Substitution
3. Engineering controls
4. Signage/warnings and/or administrative controls
5. Personal protective equipment
Adopt the best suitable option or the mix of option for the respective hazard for risk control.

5.19 Review the IRAR once a year or whenever there is major modification / update / addition
in process/activities.

5.20 In addition, if there is new knowledge regarding environmental impacts has been identified
during audits or in case of amendments to legislative requirements, review and update the “IRAR”.
