sourced from the company's own farms. It first enters processing plants, next sanitary
packaging, and finally a storage room. The plant was separated into two departments:
construction and maintenance. Each department has automatic machines such as boiling
or mixing machines, as well as processing and packing machinery. Workers typically
General description of the organisation engage in high-risk tasks including machinery, mixing and processing of food, manual
handling operations, maintenance work, welding operations, work at height, electrical and
high-voltage systems, and so on. They are subjected to risks such as noise, current,
moving equipment parts etc.

Employees work in two shifts, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and from 5:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
There are 350 employees on each shift. The majority of employees are young, with only a
few older employees in the executive team.

After reviewing the facts about the health and safety of workers at the Tasteland Private Limited
factory, I walked over all of the premises and spoke with workers about their health and safety
concerns. The knowledge they had concerning their health and safety was adequate, and they
were aware of their own obligations.
I also checked their accident record book, previous risk assessment reports and audit reports to

wage, not to be put risk of falling ill and diseases, now or in the future, because of the work
activities that they carry out now. Some of the ill health conditions that could be contracted
or injuries that could occur will have a major impact on the lives of the workers and their
family and friends. Long term injuries and infirmity have significant effect on our labourer’s
psychological wellness after their retirement they can't offer different specialists to work in
their organization up until to this point. The role of company is providing safe place and proper
condition for workers to work in good way and to increase their productivity and capacity,
also to protect them from any accident may happen.

Tasteland Private Limited has legal requirement to protects its workers under the ILO’s safety
and Health Convention (C155)

Financial:
Financial impacts in case of any incident that could bear by company are into these three
categories. cost associated with:
1. Injured workers (sick pay, replacement worker wages, medical costs, lost working time
etc.)
2. Cost associated with trainings of new workers
3. Cost associate with civil claims

Learner number: 00658785 Learner name: Anthony Mogus Nwoye Page 13 of 19

 4. Cost associate with increase in insurance premium
5. Cost associated with enforcement authority
So, this is a financial argument too, to implement my actions at workplace to minimize risk
for workers.

Legal:
Possible enforcement actions that Tasteland Private Limited could receive include being
served with improvement notices relating to these activities by the regulator. This would have
massive financial impact on organisation if these activities could not continue properly and
even these activities can restrict their certification achievement in all fields and local
Government can also take an action against delay of work. If something goes wrong,
Tasteland Private Limited’s reputation could take a serious hit which could result in loss of
contracts. The likely amount of compensation and civil claims can be substantial; in addition
to this legal fee would also be very high. I would also point out that many of these costs would
not recoverably from the insurance.

The likelihood of ill health is high because NH3 gas leakage from freezers in storage Area,
NH3 used for cooling purpose in storage refrigerators. There was maximum 20 workers worker
there and can exposed to NH3. This will cause serious ill health effect and death in case of
inhaling 500ppm. NH3 is irritating and corrosive. Exposure to high concentration of NH3 gas in
air cause immediate burning of the nose, throat and respiratory tract. This can cause
bronchiolar and airway destruction resulting in respiratory distress or failure. All the current
controls are ineffective to prevent injuries.
I set the category when suggesting the severity in following way:
Minimal: no injury or damage happened.
Minor: injury happened requiring the first aid treatment and/or unimportant damage to the
equipment and machinery.
Major: injury happened requiring the hospital treatment, requiring recovery time, and/or
important damage to equipment and machinery.
Fatal: injuring which causing disability or death, and loss of equipment, machinery or
building.
The severity of risk occurring is set to major and fatal because it often depends upon the
inhalation of NH3 and time of exposure. E.g., death of worker.
Provision of certified and top brand and approved gas detector and sensors in whole
workplace. The sensors will detect the leakage of gas and prevent any accident from
occurred. It allows catching the hazardous gas and preventing it from mix in whole
atmosphere and stopping the gas from spreading the whole work areas. Gas sensor will help
to detect gas and after that we can maintain the source where the leakage. Gas sensor will
reduce the risk of inhaling. The main concerned to apply gas sensor is to control exposure
of gas so workers could be safe over its adverse health effects.
I have given a timescale of 3 weeks. I gave three weeks because action will be approved by
the higher management and finance department will allocate the budget for this to be
completed. This will be completed in 3 weeks.
The action will maximum control the risk of serious ill health effect as the installation of sensors
for gas leakage.

Category; Work equipment and machinery)
ILO`s C119 - Guarding of Machinery Convention, 1963 (No. 119) The use of machinery with
any dangerous part, including the point of operation, that lacks appropriate guards shall be
prohibited by national laws or regulations or prevented by other equally effective measures:
provided, however, that where this prohibition cannot fully apply without preventing the use
of the machinery, it shall apply to the extent that the use of the machinery permits.
ILO`s R118 - Guarding of Machinery Recommendation, 1963 (No. 118) states that The use
of machinery with any dangerous part, including the point of operation, that lacks appropriate
guards should be prohibited by national laws or regulations or prevented by other equally
effective measures; provided, however, that where this prohibition cannot fully apply without
preventing the use of the machinery, it should apply to the extent that the use of the
machinery permits. Machinery should be guarded in such a way that national legislation and
occupational safety and hygiene requirements are not violated.
The Likelihood of serious personal injuries is high because In mechanical workshop, the
workers were operating drill, bench grinder and heavy lathe machine without wearing any
personnel guards. Also, machine guards of some machines were removed. The workers can
expose too many mechanical hazards i.e., drawing in into nip points, entanglement, cutting
and abrasion by high-speed moving parts. This could lead to body injuries informs of muscles
damage and broken bones. There were many workers and are at risk and the current controls
are ineffective to prevent injury.
Please see the justification of action 1 for severity chart. The severity of hazard is set to
Major because it will possibly require hospital treatment. E.g., broken bones.

major impact because the likelihood of entanglement, cutting and abrasion will be decrease
and severity of injuries and broken bones will also be decrease.
I have given 1 month time scale because action will be agreed by the responsible person
and will allocate budget for the installation of the fixed and moveable guards on each
machine. I hope this will be done in 1 month time.
The action will maximum control the risk of entanglement, cutting and abrasion of the worker
into machine as installation of guards.
All the damage cables should replace with new cables, and routine inspection should be
placed. (Hazard category: Electricity)
ILO C167 - Safety and Health in Construction Convention, 1988 (No. 167) article 26 require
that “Electrical devices and equipment should be installed by competent engineer and also
maintain by competent maintenance staff for removing of any danger from workplace.
ILO R175 - Safety and Health in Construction Recommendation, 1988 (No. 175) also
required that “Employers must take care of their employees and implement preventative
steps to safeguard them against electrical risks in the workplace,” All electrical equipment
and installations must be designed, installed, and maintained by a competent person and
utilised in a safe manner.
The likelihood of serious personal injuries is high Insulation of cable was damaged found in
sauces production unit. There is risk of electric shock if worker touch the damaged insulated
wire. Workers can contact the harmed link and this may prompt danger of electric stun and
cause skin consume and demise. Electricity can cause genuine electric stun and furthermore
openness can bring about muscle cramps, electric consumes, torment, shortcoming,
appendage torment, deadness, shivering and harm to sensory system, cognitive decline and
constant quakes. All the current controls are ineffective to prevent injuries.

How effective the action is likely to be
in controlling the risk. This should
include:
 the intended impact of the action;
 justification for the timescale that

Learner number: 00658785 Learner name: Anthony Mogus Nwoye
Please see the justification of action 1 for severity chart. The severity of this hazard is set to
major because after incident hospital treatment will be required. E.g., electric burns and severe
shock.
Replacement of all damage cables with new cables have major impact and it will minimise the
risk of electric shock and burn injuries. The likelihood of electric shock and cause skin burn
and death will be decrease. The severity of electric burn injuries will be decrease after
replacement of damaged cables with new cables. Through this recommendation, the
accident rate will be decrease.
I have given 1 Month of time scale for improvement. I gave this timescale because action will
be agreed by the area manager and finance manager will allocate the budget for this. I hope
that this will be the maximum amount of time will need to be complete.
This action will maximum control the risk as changing of cables at the workplace with new
cables.

Part 4: Review, communicate and check
Suggested word counts for each section:
 Planned review date or period and reasoning for this: 50 - 100 words
 How the risk assessment findings will be communicated and who needs to know the information: 100 - 150 words
 Follow up on the risk assessment: 100 - 150 words.
Planned review date/period with Tasteland Private Limited has a policy to review their risk assessment after 1 year. So, I have
reasoning set review date after 1 year. The risk assessment will be reviewed on January 28, 2023.
Review can be conduct before the scheduled date If a major accident occurs at the
workplace, the building is upgraded, and new technologies and equipment are upgraded, as
