6.0 Procedure
a. Significant risks will be identified and eliminated/ minimized at planning stage
by the Project OH&S Manager, Project Manager and Works Manager.
b. The Project Senior Representatives and Line Supervisors along with Project OH
& S Manager will review, High and Medium Risk activities, in order to reduce


the level of the risk. Corporate Occupational Health & Safety Department will
be informed about actions taken to contain the risks.
c. The risk assessment at Project level will be carried out for every new activity
undertaken, when the project is ongoing and the measures identified for risk
control will be recorded in risk control document by the project site. New
measures may be required in the form of addition of new work methods/
procedures /improved safety equipment/ additional OH & S training /
safety signs / posters etc.
d. The five step process for risk control are
Step 1 : Identification of hazards.

The first step in work place occupational health and safety risk management
process is to identify the work place hazards. A hazard is defined as a situation
with the potential to cause harm.
If any of the risks are relatively minor and/ or the hazard can be easily controlled,
the activity will be attended automatically straight away. That is, it may not be nec-
essary to work through the assessment method shown in step 2 and before control-
ling the risk (step 3). All other risks must be assessed using a method such as the
one presented in step 2.
Step 2: Assessing the risks that may result because of the hazards.
The second step in work place occupational health and safety risk management
process is to work out which hazards need attention first. The risk associated with
each hazard must be assessed. The method of assessing risk is as follows.
Risk Assessment Method:
For each of the risks:
a) Estimate the likelihood of an incident occurring at the workplace, bearing in
mind existing control measures. Using the descriptive scale in the risk priority


chart (below), nominate the likelihood of an incident occurring at the work-

place.
b) Estimate the consequences of an incident occurring at the workplace, bearing in
mind existing control measures. Using the descriptive scale in the risk priority
chart, nominate the consequences of an incident occurring at the workplace.
c) Determine the “risk score” by plotting consequences and likelihood estimates
on the risk priority chart.
Using the scores obtained for the risks, develop a prioritized list of workplace
risks requiring action.

Step 3: Deciding on control measures


In the workplace Occupational Health and Safety risk management process in-
volves deciding on control measures to manage exposure to identified risks.
Control Priorities
Start at the top of the list and work down.
Firstly, try to eliminate the hazard.
If this is not possible, prevent or minimize exposure to the risk by one or a combi-
nation of:
 Substituting a less hazardous material, process or equipment.
 Redesigning equipment or work process
 Isolating the hazard.
(Note: These measures may include engineering methods).
As a last resort, when exposures to the risk is not (or cannot be) minimized by
other means:
 Introduce administrative controls.
 Use appropriate personal protective equipment.
In many cases, it will be necessary to use more than one control measure to
satisfactorily manage a risk. Some control measures, which are lower control
priorities, may need to be put in place until a permanent measure can be im-
plemented. The control measures selected should:
 Adequately control exposure to the risk;
 Not create another hazard; and
 Allow workers to do their work without undue discomfort or distress.
Eliminating the hazard
The ideal solution is to get rid of a hazard completely. This is the most effective
control and should always be attempted in the first instance. If a hazard is removed
from the workplace, the associated risk is completely eliminated. For example,
eliminating the need to work in a confined space.
Prevent or minimize exposure to the risk


If a hazard cannot be eliminated, there are a number of control options that can be
used alone, or in combination, to prevent or minimize exposure to the risk.
Substitution
Involves replacing the hazard with one that presents a lower (and more manage-
able) risk. That is, replacing the plant, product or processes that represent the haz-
ard with something that does the same job but has less potential to cause harm. For
example, using a hydraulic machine instead of electrical power because of water on
the site.
Redesign
Involves changing the design of the workplace, equipment or work process. It in-
volves thinking about ways the work could be done differently to make the work-
place safer. For example, using damping or baffles to reduce exposure to noise and
vibration; or using a track to hold a portable saw to prevent back strains or sprains.
Isolation
Involves isolating or separating the hazard from the person, or the person from the
hazard. For example, installing guarding on equipment or operating machinery re-
motely.
When exposure to the risk is not (or cannot be) minimized by other means
When exposure to the risk is not (or cannot be) minimized by other means, admin-
istrative controls and personal protective equipment can be used. These controls
are lowest on the list of control priorities. In general, these measures should only be
used:
 When there are no other practical control measures available (that is, as a last
resort); as temporary measures while a more permanent solution is found;
and/ or
 To supplement other controls (that is, as back-up controls).
Administrative controls


Involve minimizing exposure to a risk through the use of procedures or instruc-

tions. It is often necessary to use these controls in conjunction with other measures.
For example, posting warning signs or providing safety training.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Is worn by people as a final barrier between themselves and the hazard. This mea-
sure does not control the hazard at the source. For example, using respiratory pro-
tection to minimize exposure to inhalation of silica dust.
STEP 4: IMPLEMENTING CONTROL MEASURES
Involves implementing selected control measures at the workplace. This means un-
dertaking those activities necessary to allow the measures to function or operate ef-
fectively.
Implementing control measures involves:
 Developing work procedures
Develop work methods and procedures in relation to the new control mea-
sures to make sure that the control measures are effective. Management, su-
pervisor and worker responsibilities need to be clearly defined in the work
procedures.
 Communication
Inform workers and others about the control measures to be implemented. If
is important to clearly communicate the reasons for changes.
 Providing training and instruction
Provide training and instruction for the workers, supervisors and others in re-
lation to the new control measures.
 Supervision
Provide adequate supervision to ensure that the new control measures are be-
ing used correctly.
 Maintenance


Maintenance relating to control measures is an important part of the imple-

mentation process. Work procedures will spell out maintenance requirements
to ensure the ongoing effectiveness of the new control measures. Records of
maintenance will be kept.
Step 5: Monitor and Review
The final step in the risk management process is to monitor and review the effec-
tiveness of measures. For this step, it can be useful to ask questions to determine
whether:
 Chosen control measures have been implemented, as planned;
 Chosen control measures are working; and
 There are any new problems.
This involve:
 Consulting with workers, supervisors and occupational health and safety repre-
sentatives;
 Measuring peoples exposure (e.g. taking noise measurement in the case of isola-
tion of a noise source); and
 Monitoring incident reports.
Review of risk assessment:
The Hazard identification and Risk assessment register should be regularly re-
viewed for incorporating hazards due to any changes/additions in the processes/
activities and after any accident / incident / near misses.
7.0 Review
This procedure will be reviewed every six months.
8.0 Records: Retention period

This SOP will be retained till the end of the project.
