MTSS Hazards and Effects Management Process

Definitions
 Hazard – Anything that is a potential source of harm i.e.: trip, slip, work tools etc.
 Significant Hazard – Any hazard that has the potential to cause serious harm.
 Serious Harm – Any injuries or illness that causes temporary or severe loss of bodily
function (e.g. fractures, amputation).
 All Practicable Steps – Practicable steps are actions that a reasonable person
would take to reduce the chance of harm occurring.
 Controls – Actions to reduce the likelihood of harm or the potential consequence of
harm.

Hazard Identification
All hazards in the workplace need to be identified. Once identified, they need to be recorded
on a hazard register.

Examples of potential hazards include:

 Dangerous equipment,
 Chemicals
 Stacked shelving
 Repetitive jobs that may cause strains and/or fatigue from lifting,

Hazard Assessment

Using the Risk Matrix, assess each hazard for risk. Once you have determined the hazards
that would cause the most harm you will need to deal with these first.

When assessing each hazard, consider the following:

 Likelihood – What are the chances the hazard could occur


 Consequence – If the hazard did occur, what would be the potential outcome

Risk Matrix

Note: The higher the risk, the more important it is to establish control measures to
prevent people getting hurt.

A hazard with a score greater than ‘4’ (see over) is high risk which is regarded by
‘MTSS’ as a ‘significant’ hazard and needs to be controlled in accordance to The
Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992 requirements.

Hazard Control
Hazard controls are put in place to keep people safe from harm. The Health and Safety in
Employment Act 1992, requires all employers to put hazard controls in place.

The steps to follow are:

 Eliminate the hazard (e.g. remove it, remedy it,etc), or,

 Isolate the hazard. If it is not possible to eliminate the hazard, then, all practicable steps
should be taken to isolate the hazard. An Isolating control measure may include, the
placing of barriers around the hazard, confining the hazard to a specific area etc, or
 Minimise the hazard If the hazard cannot be eliminated or isolated, you must minimise
the hazard. Minimisation control measures may include e.g. providing personal
protective equipment; (gloves, earmuffs, aprons), develop safe work procedures, provide
training etc.

Communication
Remember,
 where applicable communicate all hazards to staff and,
 discuss the hazard and the control measures used and,
 Review completed hazard reports to ensure controls are adequate providing review
dates (if not already identified).

Executive Summary
Facility Information:
Company: MIPS JV
MTSS
Location: ARA Petroleum
Methodology:
Type: Risk Management Review
Facility Description
Facility Description: Water transfer system from Pit to Pipeline.Water from the pit is pumped via dewatering pump to a break tank and the booter pump will pump the liquid
from break tank to the pipeline.
Methodology followed & Assumption
1. The subject study using risk ranking was selected by facilitator in consultation with team members for the subject risk review.

The subject study was conducted at MIPS Office Oman .

All applicable process deviation/other causes where considered to the best of team capability and experience. That also includes operability, facility sitting, human factor &
maintenance hazards. Adequate brain storming using applicable guidewords was ensured for the best possible results. Particular cause missing, if any, should be considered as
exception and out of team capability and experience.

During risk study like Risk Review many operating problems are identified hazards. So such studies can therefore enable companies to use resources more effectively and
become more efficient as well as safer.
The risk review pre-supposes that the design values of flow, pressure, temperature and any other process parameters are adequately designed and operable to start with. The risk
review technique assumes a good level of general management competence, in particular that the plant will be operated and maintained with well trained manpower in the
manner assumed by the design team and in accordance with good management and engineering practices. If this is not true, then finding of such risk study has very little
relevance in terms of contribution towards safer plant/system operation.
