1. Introduction
Risk assessment is a technique for evaluating the chance or likelihood that the harm from
a hazard will occur, and the probable consequences if it were to occur. Likelihood refers to
the probability or chance that an incident will occur while consequence refers to the
outcome of an incident in terms of injury, loss, damage or harm.
The aim of risk assessment is to establish the level of risk to enable the evaluation or
judging of the acceptability of the level of risk. The objective of risk management is the
reduction of the (level) of risk “as far as is reasonably practicable” – to an acceptable level.
Hazards are things with the potential to cause injury, loss, damage or harm and are
inherent to equipment, material, activities/tasks and processes. Equipment, material,
activities/tasks and processes are therefore examined in detail through risk assessment, to
identify:
a) How they could cause injury, loss, damage or harm (incident);
b) What the resulting injury, loss, damage or harm would be (consequence);
c) How bad the injury, loss, damage or harm would be (severity); and
d) The probability/chance, with existing controls taken into account, that the injury, loss,
damage or harm will occur (likelihood).
Risk assessment provides a means for discovering and evaluating hazards to identify the
hazards that must be controlled. Hazards can be controlled in two ways, namely:
a) Limiting the chance (likelihood) of an incident occurring through preventive measures
such as training and machine guarding; and
b) Limiting/controlling the consequences of an incident if it does occur, using fire
extinguishers and first aid treatment.
Risk (of a particular hazard) = Likelihood (of an incident occurring) x Severity (of a
particular consequence).
Although the resulting risk value is a subjective estimation, it gives an indication of the risk
level on which an evaluation or judgement of the acceptability of the risk can be based.
Such a judgement is made during a structured risk assessment session by an informed
group that includes persons actually exposed to the hazards.
The risk value also allows for the prioritisation of unacceptably high risks so that attention
can immediately be focussed on critical/unacceptable risks, so that immediate and
imminent danger can be treated first to prevent critical incidents from occurring.
PROJECT:
The next level of risk is treated once the critical risks have all been dealt with. This phased
approach ensures that risks are treated and eliminated methodically, according to their
criticality
2. Definitions
“Simply a careful examination of what, in the workplace, could cause harm to
people, so that a decision can be made as to whether the precautions taken are
satisfactory or whether more should be done to prevent harm”.
The key terms of hazard, harm and risk have been simply defined by the UK HSE as
follows:
Hazard: Anything that may cause harm, such as chemicals, electricity, working
from ladders, or an open drawer;
Harm: Includes ill-health and injury; damage to property, plant, products or the
environment; and production losses or increased liabilities; and
Risk: The chance, high or low that somebody could be harmed by a hazard,
together with an indication of how serious the harm could be. Other definitions of
hazard and risk include:
Hazard
• “Source or situation with a potential for harm in terms of human injury or ill
health, damage to property, damage to the workplace environment or a
combination of these” (OHSAS 18002).

Their own safety and the safety of Company assets used to perform their duty;
Understand fully and apply correctly this plan in the course of their work.
Strictly abiding to the instructions described in this document and those provided by
their direct site managers/supervisors;
Every worker shall report to his supervisor any possible anomaly regarding
machinery, plant, equipment, working procedures or any other acts or conditions;
All employees are expected to study, understand and comply with these rules and
regulations regarding risk management. No one can plead ignorance of the same.
Everyone is required to read all notices appearing on the bulletin boards and to
attend toolbox talks and safety awareness course, and shall be responsible for any
matter appearing in such notices, which may concern them.
Risk assessments are performed for all work that is done to ensure that:
a) Everyone involved in the work is aware of the hazards and risks; and
b) Risk reduction measures are proactively identified and implemented before an
incident has the chance to occur.
In order to achieve this, the risk assessment programme consists of the following actions:
a) The identification of all hazards to which persons may be exposed or that may harm
the environment;
b) The analysis of the risk related to the identified hazards;
c) Documenting a plan to mitigate, reduce or control the identified hazards and risks;
and
d) Developing a plan to monitor and review compliance to the risk-reduction measures.
These actions are broken down into the following eleven risk assessment process steps:
a) Scope of the risk assessment
b) Identify the equipment, materials, activities/tasks and processes included in the scope
c) Identify the incidents that could conceivably occur
PROJECT:
d) Identify the likely consequences of the incident, i.e. injury, damage, environmental
impact such as soil pollution
e) Estimate the likelihood of the incident occurring
f) Estimate the severity of the incident’s consequences
g) Calculate the risk
h) Identify and implement risk control measures
i) Compile a risk control action plan
j) Monitor and review risk assessments and control measures
k) Communicate risk assessment results and risk control information.
The subject of the risk assessment in question is considered and the risk assessment is
scoped according to one of the following options:
a) Geographically – a physical location such as the engineering workshop, loading area,
offices, manufacturing plant or a chemical store;
b) Function/discipline – a function/discipline such as Engineering, Logistics,
Procurement, IT or Security;
c) Hazard/issue – hazards or issues present throughout the organisation/facility, such
as electricity, fire, hazardous substances, machinery, heat and cold. This approach
may only be followed by adequately trained professionals such as a fire fighter or
occupational hygienist.
Appendix 1 provides a form for defining the risk assessment’s scope as well as listing the
equipment, material, activities/tasks and processes involved.
The necessary care and attention is paid to this step to ensure the identification of all the
equipment, material, activities/tasks and processes contained in the risk assessment
scope as the omission of anything at this stage would result in its exclusion from the
remainder of the risk assessment.
PROJECT:
Each incident is evaluated and the possible consequences of such an incident identified
and listed in the appropriate column in Appendix 1.
Risk (of a particular hazard) = Likelihood (of an incident occurring) x Severity (of a
particular consequence).
The risk value is obtained by tracing the row (severity) and column (likelihood) in the Risk
Matrix that corresponds to the likelihood and severity values estimated in the previous two
steps. The row and column is traced to where they meet and the value in that cell is the
risk under consideration.
a) Elimination – Modifying a design to eliminate the hazard, e.g. terminate the use of a
substance or terminate an activity;
b) Substitution – Substituting a less hazardous material or reduce the system energy
(e.g. lower the force, amperage, pressure and temperature);
c) Engineering controls – Installing ventilation systems, machine guarding, interlocks
and sound enclosures;
d) Signs, warnings, and administrative controls – Safety signs, hazardous area marking,
photo-luminescent signs, markings for pedestrian walkways, warning sirens/lights,
alarms, safety procedures, equipment inspections and access controls; and
e) Personal protective equipment (PPE): safety glasses, hearing protection, face shields,
safety harnesses, respirators and gloves.
High and medium risk exposures (those with a risk rating corresponding with the red and
amber bands in the Risk Matrix) are examined and measures that would effectively control
the identified risks are identified in the order prescribed by the hierarchy of risk control.
Existing and planned control measures are considered, but additional controls are
introduced and existing or planned controls are improved if it is suspected that they would
not control the risk effectively.
Measures that would simultaneously control likelihood and severity are considered first,
then measures that would control the higher of likelihood and severity, and lastly measures
to control the lower of the two.
Risk control measures are implemented according to risk value, with the highest of the
high being treated immediately, followed by the next level, and so on. Risk exposures with
a high likelihood of occurrence and possibly severe consequences are treated without
PROJECT:
delay. The next group of risks are treated once the critical risks have been treated and are
under control. High risks (red band) must be treated immediately and medium risks (amber
band) as soon as possible thereafter. Low risks (green band) do not require any specific
treatment, but monitoring of existing controls, where applicable, continues.
The action management reference numbers of the risk control actions that will be taken in
accordance with paragraph 5.6 Identify and implement risk control measures, are
referenced in the appropriate column in the risk control action plan. This is done for
reference purposes and to enable the efficient tracking of actions.
The action plan is used as the basis for the risk monitoring and review programme, which
is discussed below.
4.8.1 Monitoring
Implemented control measures are monitored to establish whether they are effective in
controlling the risks they are intended to control.
4.8.2 Review
Risk control measures are reviewed regularly to establish whether they are still effective in
controlling the risks they were intended to control; in the way they were intended to control
them. Routine reviews are conducted at predefined intervals but are also conducted if it
becomes evident that a control measure is no longer effective.
PROJECT:
A risk control measure review plan is established to ensure that control measures are
reviewed:
Changes occurrence; and
When they are found ineffective through monitoring or due to an incident or non-
conformance.
Task specific risk assessment are reviewed weekly. Baseline risk assessments are
reviewed in their entirety at least annually. Changes to the equipment, materials,
activities/tasks and processes in the workplace are taken into account and considered in
risk assessments to ensure that the new and altered risks brought about by change are
identified and controlled.
Risk assessments are reviewed as part of the management of the introduced change to
ensure that new hazards and risks are identified before they are introduced and controlled
as soon as they are introduced.
Risk assessments are also reviewed following incidents and the detection of non-
conformities to establish where the fault was, in order for it to be corrected immediately to
prevent the recurrence of the incident or non-conformity.
A risk assessment review programme is in place to facilitate and ensure the review of risk
assessments. The programme provides for tracking of the reviews to ensure that they are
done when they should be done.
The risk control action plan is used as the basis for risk assessment reviews. The results
of such reviews such as the review date, decisions taken and additional/amended actions
required are captured in the appropriate column of the action plan.
Where the need for additional action(s) or changes to current action(s) is identified during
such reviews, the required actions are implemented in accordance with paragraph 5.6
Identify and implement risk control measures.
PROJECT:
Additional actions that may be required are included in the action plan and their action
system reference numbers captured accordingly. Changed action system references are
captured where required changes to current actions affect an action’s system reference.
The reference to an action is retained in the action plan for reference purposes when
required changes to actions result in an action being closed out or when an action has
been successfully implemented. Successfully implemented actions are marked as such in
the action plan.
Risk assessment results are included in the HSE communication programme to ensure
that it is delivered as part of induction, HSE training and on-the-job training and coaching.
It is also included as an agenda point for formal and informal communication and
discussion forums such as Toolbox Talks.
Approved risk assessment will be available at site for all construction activities. No
activities shall commence without the risk assessment.
7. Training
Risk assessors and risk assessment facilitators are formally trained for risk assessment,
but preferably more, formally recognized risk assessment techniques.
Facilitators are additionally trained in facilitation skills and techniques about risk
assessment.
Risk Management Team Members must be trained by the appointed Trainer. Risk
Management Team Members from TIEJUN/Subcontractor site management staff, process
or various departmental engineers, technical personnel, supervisors, operators,
maintenance and service staff etc. where available.
