6 Project’s Hazards and Risk Assessment
6.1 Terminology

Workplace – Any physical location in which work related activities are performed under the control of this project
(e.g. National Project Office, regional Project Offices, Customer’s premise, Sites, Test-plant, etc.)
Hazard – Source, situation, or act with a potential for harm in terms of human injury or ill health, or a combination
of these
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)
Evaluating of risk arising from each hazard – Estimate and evaluate how likely it is that a hazard will cause
harm, how serious that harm is likely to be; how often (and how many) workers are exposed.

Likelihood
Descriptor Level Definition
Unlikely Level 1 Numerous control measures would have to be intentionally by-passed. Very
little chance of happening/not foreseeable
May Happen Level 2 Control measures may fail or may be defeated. Sometime in 100 years.
Likely Level 3 There is an even chance this may happen. Within 10 years.

Very Likely Level 4 Control measures depend on a person using them on every occasion e.g.
administrate controls alone, PPE only etc. Within 1 year.
Certain Level 5 Harm from the hazard is certain or imminent if no control measures are
provided. Next shift.

Severity
Descriptor Level Definition
Minor Level 1 Slight injury (small paper-cut). Slight damage to equipment. Minimal cost.
No downtime. Very slight spill/small scale contamination.
Appreciable Level 2 Minor injury or first aid. No lost time (sprain/cut). Minor damage/parts
replacement. Minor contamination.
Major Level 3 Hospital treatment or lost time (severe cut/fracture etc.) Localized damage.
Localized contamination/spill.
Severe Level 4 Permanent disability e.g. amputation, blindes etc. Major damage to
equipment. Large-scale contamination.
Catastrophic Level 5 Fatality/multiple fatalities. Extensive damage to property. Major uncontained
release.

Hazards
Descriptor Definition
Physical Hazard directly generating the potential for physical injury
Chemical Hazard generated by materials and substances

18-02-2019 – NIG_QHS_Airtel_HSP04042019_v1.1 © Nokia 2018


Electrical Hazard caused by the use of electrical energy
Mechanical Hazard caused by the mechanical movement of machinery

Psychosocial Hazard causing a deterioration in individual health or mental well-being

Risk Controls – Determining controls for reducing risks according to the following hierarchy:
Descriptor Definition
Elimination Complete remove the hazard (e.g. removal of hazardous substance from the workplace)

Substitution Change a work practice, substance or piece of equipment to provide a safer environment
(e.g. substitute old office chair to ergonomic chair to reduce the risk of ergonomic
injuries)
Engineering Modify the design of the workplace or plant and/or environmental conditions (e.g. the
use of fume extracting system to remove fumes generated by hazardous substance use in
labs)
Administrative Developing procedures and systems to control the interaction between people and
hazards (e.g. reducing the amount of time of exposure to hazards, like climb up a tower
to complete the antenna system integration)
Personal Implementing PPE to prevent physical contact between people and hazards (e.g. correct
protective footwear, gloves, etc.)

6.3.2 Electrical Work Standard Operation Procedure
Electrical work within the telecoms industry involves working on, or adjacent to the following types of
installation:
 Alternating Current (AC) – usually but not limited to 110Volts, 230 Volts and 415 volts
 Direct Current (DC) – usually 48 Volts DC in telecoms equipment.

People non-negotiable requirements:

1. General Awareness
 Everyone working for Nokia, whose role involves working on or coming into proximity of electrical
systems, circuits and installations must receive sufficient training related to the electrical risks to which
they are exposed.
 The training must cover the risks arising from Nokia or customer electrical equipment and the
associated electrical installation i.e. fixed wiring, switches breakers, protective devices, power supplies,
or batteries, in the general vicinity.
 The training must cover the defined rules, expected behaviors and controls detailed in this standard
 The training must cover the “right to refuse” to work on something they believe is dangerous and the
escalation process to be followed for both unsafe practices and reporting unsafe installations

2. Competence and Supplier Qualification

All electrical work must be conducted by competent people


 Only suppliers that have been H&S qualified to deliver electrical work are to be used;
 Only persons, including subcontractors competent to design, install, commission, maintain or
decommission electrical circuits and equipment may do so;
 Where local electrical registration/certification schemes exist, only registered/certified electrical
contractor’s personnel will be used for electrical work; Records of certifications or evidence of
qualifications must be held and made available on request by subcontractors;
 In countries where no such registration/certification schemes exist, further evaluation and assessment
of the individual/s must be completed before they are permitted to undertake electrical work on behalf
of Nokia (this must be determined and approved in country);
 Work on high transmission voltages can only be undertaken by specialized electricians trained to work
in such high voltage environments.

3. Medical Fitness to Work


 Electrical workers must be medically and physically fit to work and be assessed according to local
legislation where required.
 If no legislative requirements exist, as a minimum, a medical fitness assessment must check for the
absence of color vision deficiency, or medical conditions that might impact an individual’s ability to
work with electricity safely.

Methods and practice non-negotiables

1. Working on Live Electrical Systems


 Live working is normally prohibited, however if it is not possible to isolate the circuits concerned, or
de-energizing them creates a greater hazard, an exception process must be established which ensures:
 The reasons for the work needing to be conducted live are recorded

18-02-2019 – NIG_QHS_Airtel_HSP04042019_v1.1 © Nokia 2018


 A safe system of work is defined by a person competent in managing live working and the controls
necessary to reduce the very high risks involved.
 There are at least two qualified persons present i.e. lone working is not permitted
 Note: Swapping out circuit boards or packs that are designed to be swapped out whilst the rack or unit
is powered up is not considered “live” working.

2. Isolation of Electrical Systems


Electrical systems must be isolated from all sources of electrical power prior to working on or adjacent to
exposed conductors or terminals.
This includes supply from backup generators, UPS, control circuits and other dual supply situations.
 Physical isolation methods should be used where possible i.e. removal of fuses, circuit isolators, or
Lock out /. Tag out.
 If there is the possibility of the system being re-energized by another person, without the knowledge of
the person working on the system physical isolation is mandatory.
 If Physical isolation is not possible the switching point must be supervised for the duration of the work.
 The system/equipment/circuit must be tested and “proved dead” using appropriate insulated test
equipment prior to any work starting.
 The test must be repeated after any interruptions such as meal breaks, or needs to leave the location for
any amount of time

Live working is normally prohibited, however if it is not possible to isolate the circuits concerned, or
de-energizing them creates a greater hazard, an exception process must be established which ensures:
 The reasons for the work needing to be conducted live are recorded.
 A safe system of work is defined by a person competent in managing live working and the controls
necessary to reduce the very high risks involved.
 There are at least two qualified persons present i.e. lone working is not permitted
 Swapping out circuit boards or packs that are designed to be swapped out whilst the rack or unit is
powered up is not considered “live” working.

6.3.3 Road Safety Standard Operation Procedure

Requirements non-negotiables
1. Vehicle
 Daily Pre-Use Check Sheets.
 3 points Seat Belts and Head Rests.
 Compartmentalization: The vehicle shall have appropriate load carrying capacity for tools and
material and a fixed segregation between load carrying areas and the passenger compartments.
 Maintenance of Vehicles: All vehicles will be maintained in accordance and as prescribed by the
manufacturer of the said vehicle and be inspected as per the road traffic (motor vehicles, compulsory
inspection) rules.
 “Fit for Purpose” – Suitable for use: The vehicle selected for use will be determined by the number of
people to be transported, the distances intended to be driven, the tools and materials that will be
