Specific legal arguments International labour organization has made many convention and recommendation to provide the
workers safety from the work at height hazard present at any workplace.
ILO Convention 1988 ( C167, Article 14) Work at height states that where work cannot be safely
be done on or from the ground or form part of building or some other permanent structure, a safe
and suitable scaffold should be provided and maintained, or other equally safe and suitable
provision shall be made. In the absence of alternative safe means of access to elevated working
places, suitable and sound platform shall be provided. They shall be properly secured against
inadvertent movement. All scaffolds and platform shall be constructed and used in accordance with
national laws and regulations. Scaffolds shall be inspected by a competent person in such cases
and at such times as shall be prescribed by national laws or regulations.

Consideration of likelihood AND severity The likelihood of serious injury is high due to falling from height because worker working on height
without using safety harness and platform has no guard rails and worker can get many injuries like
types of injury or ill health bone fracture, head injury and internal and external injuries etc.
number of workers at risk
When considering the severity, I set 4 categories:
how often the activity is carried
out Minimal: no injury or damage occurred
how widespread the risk is Minor: injury requiring first aid and/or slight damage caused to plant/equipment/buildings
Major: injury requiring hospital treatment/stay and/or significant damage caused to
plant/equipment/buildings
Specific legal arguments International labour organization has made many convention and recommendation to provide the
safety to the workers from getting harm from the risk of machine operations.
C119 - Guarding of Machinery Convention, 1963 (no. 119, Article 6) states that the use of
machinery and dangerous part of which including the point of operation, is without appropriate
guards shall be prohibited by national laws or regulations or prevented by other equally effective
measures; provided that where this prohibition cannot fully apply without preventing the use of the
machinery it shall apply to the extent that the use of the machinery permits”.

Specific legal arguments International labour organization has made many convention and recommendations to protect the
workers from extreme of temperature present at site.
C167- Safety and Health in Construction Convention, 1988 (No. 167) Article 30
Where adequate protection against risk of accident or injury to health,including exposure adverse
conditions, cannot be ensured by other means, suitable personal protective equipment and
protective clothing having regard to the type of work and risks, shall be provided and maintained by
the employer, without cost to the workers,as may be prescribed by national laws or regulations.

Consideration of likelihood AND severity The likelihood associated with this hazard will be considered as high because there was very hot
conditions in the boiler hall and the workers were exposed to it for a long period of time due to
types of injury or ill health which there were many chances for the workers to get health risk problems like heat stroke, stress
number of workers at risk and dehydration etc. The current control measures are ineffective to protect the workers from
how often the activity is carried getting harm by this hazard.
out
When considering the severity, I set 4 categories;
how widespread the risk is
Minimal: no injury or damage occurred.
Minor: injury requiring first aid and/or slight damage to the plant/equipment/buildings.
Major: injury requiring hospital treatment/ stay and/or damaged to the plant/equipment/
buildings.
Catastrophic: Death and/or irreparable damage to the plant/equipment/buildings.
There were six technicians working in the boiler hall/area.
The activity has lot of risk and is dangerous as long exposure to heat can cause heat stroke, stress
and dehydration. The activity is carried in every shift on daily basis.
The severity associated with this hazard will be considered from the above mentioned table as
major because if the workers get exposure to heat, heat stroke, stress and dehydration, they will
require proper hospital/medical treatment.
How effective the action is likely to be in
He risk associated with this hazard will be minimized by providing the workers with heat retardant
controlling the risk. This should include:
clothing and PPE’s. This provision will minimize the heat exposure and overall risk associated with
