7.0 PROCEDURE DETAILS

7.1 Identification of the health and safety hazards is an ongoing process that
determines the past, current and potential risk of the organization’s work
activities. The process shall consider, but not be limited to:
a) How work is organized, social factors (including workload, work

hours, victimization, harassment and bullying), leadership and the
culture in the organization.
b) Routine and non-routine activities and situations, including hazard
arising from;
a) Infrastructure, equipment, materials, substances and the
physical condition of the workplace
b) Product and service design, research, development, testing,
production, assembly, construction, service delivery,
maintenance and disposal
c) Human factors
d) How the work is performed
c) Past relevant incidents, internal or external to the organization,
including emergencies, and their causes;
d) Potential emergency situations;
e) Activities of all personnel having access to the workplaces or
workstation (include contractors, visitor and other person).
f) 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.
g) Hazards created in the vicinity of the workplace by work – related
activities under control of the organization.
h) Any applicable legal obligation relating to risk assessment and
implementation of necessary controls.
i) The design of work area processes; installation, machinery /
equipment, operating procedures and work organization, including
their adaptation to human capabilities.
j) Changes or proposed changes in the organization, its activities, or
materials.
k) Amendments to the OH&S management system, including temporary
changes and their impacts on operations, processes, and activities
7.2 Step of identification health and safety hazards as follow;
a) HSEC shall list all activities for each work process & record in
HIRARC Form. The identification activities shall also consider the
routine, non-routine, and emergency activities of all persons having
access to the workplace (including contractors and visitors).
b) HSEC shall identify the hazards associated with each activity
c) HSEC shall determine the effect of each hazard identify.
d) HSEC shall determine Likelihood (L) from Table 1 and Severity (S)
from Table 2 for each hazard.
e) HSEC shall Calculate Risk Priority Number (RPN) by formula

RPN=L*S as per Table 3
f) HSEC shall determine any specific legal & other requirements related
to hazard.
g) Based on the RPN, recommend appropriate risk control measures (as

Table 4). Hierarchy of control as following;
a) Elimination
b) Substitution
c) Engineering Controls
d) Signage/warning and/or administration controls
e) Personal protective equipment
h) The suitable person shall be assigned to implement the recommended

risk control and indicate the follow up action date and status
i) The complete HIRARC shall be submitted to SM for review and

approval.
j) Upon approval, HIRARC shall be communicated to relevant personnel

through briefing/training/meeting
7.3 Health & safety hazards and risk shall be re-evaluated if any of the following
situation occurs:
a) If any new facilities are introduced to the workplace.

b) If any new work process is introduced to the workplace.
c) If any process or facilities changes that affect the compliance to legal
requirements found at the workplace.
d) Accident/ incident found at workplace
7.4 During the determination control of hazards, the impact and risk should be
controlled to eliminate or reduce the SAFETY hazards which may cause an effect
on the personnel and damage to the environment. CWT has adopted standard risk
control by following the hierarchy of control.
a) Elimination
b) Substitution
c) Isolation
d) Engineering Controls
e) Signage/warning and/or administration controls
f) Personal protective equipment
Table 1: Likelihood Table
Likelihood Ranking Definition

Most Likely 5 The most likely result of the hazard / event being realized
Possible 4 A good chance of occurrence and is not unusual
Conceivable 3 Might occur at sometimes in future
Remote 2 Has not been known to occur after many years
Inconceivable 1 Is practically impossible and has never occurred
Table 2: Severity Table
Severity Ranking Definition

Numerous fatalities, irrecoverable property damage and
Catastrophic 5
productivity
Approximately one single fatality / major property damage if
Fatal 4
hazard is released.
Serious 3 Non-fatal injury, permanent disability
Minor 2 Disabling but not permanent injury
Negligible 1 Minor abrasions, bruises, cuts, first aid type injury
Table 3: Risk Matrix = Severity (S) X Likelihood (L)
Severity (S)
Likelihood (L) 1 2 3 4 5
1 1 2 3 4 5
2 2 4 6 8 10
3 3 6 9 12 15
4 4 8 12 16 20
5 5 10 15 20 25
Table 4: Determining Control:
Risk Description Action

15 ~ 25 High A HIGH risk requires immediate action to control the hazard as
detailed in the hierarchy of control. Actions taken must be
documented in the risk assessment form including date of
completion.
5 ~ 12 Medium A MEDIUM risk requires a planned approach to control the

hazard and apply temporary measure if required. Actions taken
must be documented in the risk assessment form including date of
completion.
1~4 Low A risk identified as LOW may be considered as acceptable and

further reduction may not be necessary. However, if the risk can
be resolved quickly and efficiently, control measures should be
implemented and recorded.
