12. OHS RISK MANAGEMENT
12.1. INTRODUCTION
Risk assessment is a process for identifying and analyzing safety and

health hazards associated with work, estimating the risks involved and
prioritizing measures to control the hazards and reduce the risks. Being a
key element in the safety and health management system, risk
assessment is a cornerstone in preventing accidents and ill health at work.
Every worksite should conduct risk assessments for every work carried
out. All Risk Assessment conducted must be recorded.
12.2. SCOPE
This procedure is applicable to all OHS hazards arising from the activities,
products and services of Al-Harthyh in conformance to its OHS
Management System based on the requirements of Contract between Al-
Harthyh and its Client (ZATCA).
12.3. OBJECTIVE
The objective of this procedure is to establish, implement and maintain a

process for the identification of OH&S hazards & risk. In addition, this
procedure aims to provide and specify the methodology of risk
assessment and the development of risk control as appropriate for Al-
Harthyh.
12.4. Key Stakeholders Roles & Responsibilities

Rev. No. Rev. Date
00 20/07/2022

(Roads & Sidewalks)
 Site Engineers in coordination with PM Managers shall ensure that all

OHS hazards and control measures relative to the task at hand are
identified and implemented.
 OHS Manager and OHS Supervisor shall ensure that relative control
measures are well implemented to mitigate risks and hazards identified.
12.5. DEFINITIONS
HAZARD: Source, situation or act with a potential of harm in terms of

human injury or ill health, property or the environment or effect on the
company reputation.
ILL-HEALTH: Identifiable, adverse physical or mental condition arising

from and/or made worse by a work related situation.
RISK: Risk is the product of the measure of the likelihood of occurrence

of an undesired event and the potential adverse consequences which this
event may have upon:
 People – injury or harm to physical or psychological health.
 Assets – damage to property or loss of production.
 Environment – Water, air, soil, Faona & Flora .
 Reputation – Employees and third parties. This includes the liabilities
arising from injuries and property damage to the third parties.
Risk = likelihood x severity

ALARP: Means to reduce a risk to a level that as low as reasonably
practicable and involves balancing reduction in risk against the time,
trouble, difficulty, and cost of achieving it. This level represents the point,
objectively assessed, at which the time, trouble, difficulty, and cost of
further reduction measures becomes unreasonably disproportionate to the
additional risk reduction obtained.
12.6. RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESS:
The process of determination of risk, usually in a quantitative or semi

quantitative manner, it is an evaluation of the likelihood of undesired
events and the likelihood of harm or damage being caused together with
the value judgments made concerning the significance of the results.
 HAZARD INDENTIFICATION

Rev. No. Rev. Date
00 20/07/2022

(Roads & Sidewalks)
All OHS hazards within Al-Harthyh operational areas shall be highlighted

and periodically reviewed to ensure findings remain valid. Hazards will
initially be identified by the company’s audit/inspections programs.
Each operation should identify all OHS hazards within each respective
area together with evidence to show that risks and consequences are
clearly understood.
The hazards shall be reviewed whenever major changes should apply.
All hazards identified shall be fully investigated and evaluated by a
management team, controlled by supervisor of relevant department.
Input from field personnel should be encouraged during identification
evaluation.
 CONSULTATION
Staffs shall be consulted at every stage of risk management who are

involved in the process or task to gain an understanding of the hazards
involved and methodology of the task.
The consultation staff may include but not limited

 Workers.
 Supervisors.
 OHS Officers.
 OHS Representative.
 Contractors; and
 Other relevant stakeholders etc.
Consultation between Management, employees and stakeholders is

beneficial throughout the risk assessment process because it:
 Bring together different areas of expertise to identify and analyze
risks and allow those with day-to-day experience of the hazards to
provide valuable input;
 Allows workers to have ownership of the risk and the solution;
 Increase the likelihood that worker will be committed to
implementing the control measure, because they understand why
they are being imposed;
 Increase workers’ morale, satisfaction and retention rates, as staff
feel they are being listened to and involved;
 Improves trust, communication, and teamwork.
 Improves productivity because of better decision-making
processes; and contributes to developing a positive safety culture
in the site, by increasing team commitment to workplace health
and safety.

 RISK ESTIMATION AND EVALUATION
Risks association within current and future operations should be

understood through written assessment of all hazards using the risk
matrix to calculate the level of risk to people, assets and the
environment.
 Evaluate all options for preventing and controlling risks.
 All new techniques and working practices requested shall be
evaluated for potential hazards to equipment and personnel.

Occupational Health and Safety Risk Assessment is a defined 5 Step process; Identify,
Estimate, Evaluate, Record and Review your findings. Risk = Likelihood * Severity.
Evaluation Scale 1- 25:
Green ≤4 Yellow ≤9 Orange ≤12 Red ≤25

RISK ZONE Low Moderate High Very High
Scale 1 2 3 4 5
Likely hood Improbble Remote Occasional Probable Highly Probable
Severity Negligible Marginal Serious Critical Catastrophic
Final Risk (R2) shall be reduced to a level within the green or yellow zone ≤ 9 for approval and
acceptance of the risk.
 Risk Control Plan
To control the risk the hierarchy of control must be followed (eliminate,

substitute, engineering control, administration control, PPE) and the
control measure must be written by the same sequency.
A ‘Risk Control Plan’ is an action plans that sets out how the OHS
risks identified in the Risk Assessment will be eliminated and
controlled. Risk Control Plans are developed from risk assessments.
Risk Control Plans may include:
 Hazards identified;
 Risks associated with the hazards identified;
 Existing risk controls;
 Proposed short-term controls (including proposed completion
dates);
 Proposed medium-term controls (including proposed completion
dates);

Noise& Vibration
Occupational Noise Exposure:
 High noise levels sources in the project can be from all plants and construction
equipments; Excavators, air compressors, Jack Hummers, non accoustic Electric
Diesel generators, grinders, asphalt cutter. However the effect of high noise depends
on the exposure time against the noise ‘dB’ level. ‘see table below’

Rev. No. Rev. Date
Construction Management Plan (OHS-CMP) 00 20/07/2022

(Roads & Sidewalks)
 Protection against the effects of noise exposure shall be provided when the sound
levels exceed those shown below in Table B-1 when measured on A-Scale of a
Standard Sound Level Mete.
 When employees are subjected to sound levels exceeding those listed in the table
above, feasible administrative or engineering controls shall be utilized. If such controls
fail to reduce sound levels within the levels of the Table B-1, personal protective
equipment shall be provided.
 In all cases where the sound levels exceed the values shown, a continuing effective
hearing conservation program shall be administered.
 When the daily noise exposure is composed of two or more periods of noise exposure
of different levels, their combined effect should be considered rather than the individual
effect of each. Exposure to different levels for various periods of time shall be
computed.
 Exposure to impulsive or impact noise should not exceed 140 dB peak sound pressure
level.
 Monitoring shall take place throughout the operation to ensure compliance.
 All practicable methods should be used to reduce noise levels, but where these remain
excessive and harmful, ear protectors ‘Plugs or Muffs’ shall be worn.
Permissible Noise Exposure
Recommended maximum noise exposure without protection is as follows:
Average Noise Level dB (A) at the ear Maximum exposure in one working day
 85  8 hours
 90  4 hours
 95  2 hours
 100  1 hour
 105  30 min
Permissible maximum sound power limits for equipment for use outdoors
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia National Environmental Standard for Environmental Noise for 01/05/1433H, have
specified the noise limits and exposure based on sound level dB (A) for the equipment. These limits are
shown on the following Table
Rev. No. Rev. Date

(Roads & Sidewalks)
Occupational Vibration
Health Effects;
Exposure to vibration may result in a range of health effects, collectively known as hand-arm
vibration syndrome (HAVS). The most well-known health effect is vibration white finger
(VWF). Symptoms resulting from damage to either the vascular or the neurological systems
in the hands include:
acute: tingling or pins and needles in the hands and extremities.
Chronic:
- numbness and blanching of the fingers;
- swollen painful joints;
- reduction in manual dexterity;
- Reduction in the sensation of touch; and ulceration and gangrene in extreme cases.
Carpal tunnel syndrome can also be caused by vibration.

Rev. No. Rev. Date

(Roads & Sidewalks)
In Europe, for example, a limit on hand-arm vibration exposure is set. The 8-hour daily
exposures limit value A(8) is 5m/s2 and if exceeded an employer should:
 reduce exposure;
 identify the reason for exceeding the limit; and
 Modify the control measures to ensure it is not exceeded again.
A hand-arm vibration daily exposure action value of 2.5 5m/s2 A(8) is set, whereby an
employer should introduce health surveillance for employees.
Control Measures
Reducing the vibration energy can be achieved by:

- alter the work processes to eliminate or reduce the use of vibrating tools;
