 Overall Management of OSH program in coordination
with OSH Committee

Hazards Identification, Risk Assessment & Control
(HIRAC)/Definition and Examples
Hazard- Anything (source, situation, or act) with the potential to
cause harm or injury and illnesses.
3|Page
Risk- Combination of Likelihood of an event to happen & the
severity of that event. Risk= Likelihood x Severity
Safety Hazards- Something that has potential for injury. It
increases the risk level to which a person is exposed and can
bring about delayed results. (Example: Working Falling from
ladder & injuring his skull since he did not used the prescribed
safety helmet)
Classification of Safety Hazards
1. Physical Hazards- Heights, noise, radiation, vibration
2. Mechanical Hazards- Sharp points & Edges
3. Electrical Hazards- Insulation damaged, cover broker,
overloading of sockets
4. Poor House Keeping and proper lifting
Health Hazards- Something that has potential to cause illness.
And it usually affects a person’s health and bring about delayed
results. (Example. Person working on a coal mines is at
increased risk & developing lung related disease in the future.
Classification of Health Hazards
1. Ergonomics- expose to unnatural postures resulting to
backpain, stiff neck or carpal syndrome
2. Environmental Hazards- Temperature, weather condition
3. Biological Hazards- Viruses, Bacteria, Fungi, Insects,
Parasites
4. Chemical Hazards-arise from excessive airborne
concentration of vapors, mists, fumes, gases & Dusts.
5. Psychosocial Hazards- All sources of stress.
Self-Activity: Look at the picture, list down the possible hazards
you see at in the picture
 Why Identify Hazards?
1. To keep workplace safe and healthy
2. Employers should make sure there are no hazards to
which employees could be exposed
3. Employers should look for hazards in advance as part of
their risk management plan to prevent potential hazards.
Definition of Terms
Accident- is unexpected, unforeseen, unplanned, and
unwanted occurrence or event that causes damage or loss of
materials properties, injury of death
Near Miss- is an incident which no injury or damage results.
Unsafe acts- any human action that violates a commonly
accepted safe work procedure or standard operation procedure
(Answer) More examples of Safety & Health Hazards
Unsafe condition: Hazards include erroneous safety
Safety Hazards procedures, malfunctioning equipment tools
1. Boxes on walkways blocking to exit
2. Octopus connection
3. Extension to extension
4. Damage Swivel Chair
5. Fire extinguisher use as door stopper
6. Removal of machine guard
Health Hazards
1. Chemical storage
2. Overflowing of wastebaskets
=
3. Unlabeled chemical on top of chemical storage cabinet
4. Flammable chemicals found on walkway
5. Mixed waste at waste bin or hazardous waste
6. Spillage of chemical/ water

III. Recognizing Hazards & Appropriate Control Measures of
Hazards
The Hierarchy of Control
6 Steps to determine the most effective measures to control
workplace hazards & to minimize risk.
1. Eliminate the Hazards: It is often cheaper & more
practical to eliminate hazards at the design or planning
stage of a product, process or place used of work.
(Ex. Covid 19 Virus- Biological Hazard, Eliminate it
through Handwashing)
2. Substitute the Hazard with something safer: If it is not
reasonably practicable to eliminate the Hazards and
associated the risk, you should minimize the risk (Ex.
Work from Home Set up)
5|Page
3. Isolate the Hazard from the people: This involves
physically separating the source of harm from people by
distance or using barriers (Ex. By providing division like
plastic cover esp. in receiving area)
4. Use of Engineering controls: An engineering control is
a control measure that is physical in nature, including a
mechanical device or process. (Ex. Providing UV Light
box for receiving documents or providing a shuttle to
employees)
5. Administrative Controls: are work methods or
procedures that are designed to minimize exposure to a
Hazard. Established appropriate procedures & safe work.
(Ex. Provide symposiums to lessen the stigma on
vaccination program from LGU)
6. Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Provide
suitable and properly maintained PPE. (Ex. Proper
wearing of PPEs like face mask and/or face shield)
IV. Application of Hazards Identification, Risk
Assessment & Control (HIRAC)
5 Steps of Risk Assessment
1. Identify the Hazards
2. Decide who might be harmed and how
3. Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions
4. Record your findings and implement them
5. Review your risk assessment and update it if necessary
Evaluate the risk: V. Workplace Emergency Preparedness

Practice: Try to see the Hazards in this Picture and

proposed control measures.
