What is e-HIRARC
HIRARC is an integration tool to identify, assess/measure and to control hazard and risk of any workplace and its
activities. By strictly implementing it, it will eliminate, reduce/control the possibility for any accidents to occur.
The acronym of HIRARC uses the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control. A universal method
widely used by Occupational Health and safety practitioner in any field of industries.
According clause 4.3.1 of OHSAS 18001:2007, an establishment of procedure is a MUST to ensure the
identification of risk, risk assessment, and its determination can be implemented and maintained. The aspects of
hazard should take into account for;
1). routine and non-routine activities
2). activities of all persons having access to the workplace (including contractors and visitors);
3). human behaviour, capabilities and other human factors
4). identified hazards originating outside the workplace capable of adversely affecting the health and safety of
persons under the control of the organization within the workplace
5). hazards created in the vicinity of the workplace by work-related activities under the control of the organization
6). infrastructure, equipment and materials at the workplace, whether provided by the organization or others
9). any applicable legal obligations relating to risk assessment and implementation of necessary controls
10). the design of work areas, processes, installations, machinery/equipment, operating procedures and work
organization, including their adaptation to human capabilities
e-HIRARC process that includes ALL of the following elements;
~ Identification/classification of all health hazards (e.g. acceptable – significant or insignificant, uncertain health
hazards
~ Control of unacceptable health risks via appropriate counter measures (e.g. personal protective equipment,
engineering controls, product, substitution etc.)
~ Annual reviews of effectiveness of the process
It may a practical approach to the assessor to examine the hazard that available at workplace. The HAZID table
has elaborate the extent information on main hazard. It will help the assessor to conform with the suitable hazard
factor without thinking further on what subject that suppose to feed in the e-HIRARC later.
Once completed, assessor can start to perform assessment through e-HIRARC documentation below
This e-HIRARC format has been designed to cater the needs of Occupational Health & Safety Practitioner in
Custom-made e-HIRARC for OHS Practitioner
meeting their task for risk management. The tool has been incorporated with OHSAS 18001 standard compliance
by readily built-in the risk factor and extinguishment of hazard-risk aspects.
The hazard has been break through from the numbers of source, namely as;
- Work environment
- Energy
- Mechanical
- Ergonomic
- Chemical
- Biological
- Environment
- Animal / insects
- Major disaster
- Radiation, &
There is also assistance for users to get them comfortable to choose the risk control at their workplace through
-drop-down
Other hazards
button needs to be selected via E-S-I-E-A-P. The E-S-I-E-A-P approach carried the means of
prioritization of action sequence by Elimination (E), Substitution (S), Isolation (I), Engineering control (E),
Administration (A) and P for PPE.
How to run the system
1). A simple step for user to operate this e-HIRARC template
2). Once received a valid file of e-HIRARC, save it into your PC.
3). Name of company is protected and same as the time it was registered.
4). Go to worksheet 'JOBLIST' and start to insert the data of department and person-in-charge
5). To log the activity and its sub-process. It is important for user to define ALL activity including non-routine
process and emergency event. It may possible for the assessment will incomplete if the user did not addressed
the process comprehensively.
6). Select the process that going to be assessed
8). Identify the hazard that may possible to be available. User can specify into detail description
in the column (if any).
9). Determine the potential risk that would be occurred as a result the existence of hazard.
10). Analyse the risk based from existing control implemented in workplace
11). Specify the control where it was needed
12). Take into consideration on applicable legal
13). Assess the risk through combination of Likelihood vs Severity. Worksheet 'matrix' has addressed the
assessment scale (min: 1 & max: 5) for likelihood and severity and result of risk evaluation as well.
14). Once complete, press button 'update e-HIRARC' and see the output is automatically generated.
15). User may create another file for assessing the risk of other process. There is also the creation of new files
needed if the number of process sequence (as defined in note#5) is defined more than the allocated space in the
1st step of the Joblist. There is also necessary additional file to be created if more than 9 activities where the
hazard-risk needs to be assessed.
Saving / Printing
It is highly recommended that the completed e-HIRARC needs to be saved in protected file such as PDF. This is
to ensure that the data inserted in the e-HIRARC is remain secured and to prevent unintendedly change cause to
record will be lost.
For those PC did not provided with PDF software, they may download it from http://www.dopdf.com/, a free file
converter that you can find it from internet. This free software is reliable to protect your record from missing
Correction
Data in the Joblist is remain empty until insertion of input from the user.
However, once the form has been updated, its would not be possible the form to be re-empty again via undo
process
Therefore, if user want to correct the Joblist and making the data become empty again, click 'Clear Data' button
and delete the reference number in the respective activity.
Then, you may resume the data input by clicking the 'Back to Joblist' button
Benefits and advantages of using this template
1). Readily fixed the input of hazard to help user in identification of hazard.
2). Analysis data for trend of hazard available at workplace (environment, health, mechanical etc.)
3). Save time in e-HIRARC generation
4). Improve record keeping.
5). Emphasize participation from all parties (process owner). Prevent centralizing the e-HIRARC preparation
6). Straight forward oriented.
7). Educate user the concept & structure of basic e-HIRARC such as identification of hazard source, risk control
via ESIEAP and risk evaluation conceptual.
