Outline how the risk assessment was Source of information I have consulted International labour organization website to check if there is any
carried out this should include: code of practices related to flour mills which there was.

 who you spoke to; and www.hse.govt.uk
 how you identified: After reading the ILO and HSE website, I decided to visit the construction site to see what precautions
- the hazards; had been taken to safeguard the employees from hazards and risks. I spoke with the management and
- what is already being done; and learned the company has a health and safety management system and policy, but they are not
- any additional controls/actions successfully implemented owing to a lack of training and communication. I spoke with the site Workers ,
that may be required. site in-charge and many other staff members to know more about the construction site. I found that the
company prioritises profits and project completion over employee health and safety. During my
inspection and observation, I noticed that most workers were doing manual handling in poor posture
and position, workers were not aware of using one or more equipment together, workers were not much
aware about reporting accident and incident, and work at height activities were being done without
close supervision. I inspect lost time injuries, near misses, medical records, enforcement actions, and
employee complaints. by checking their past records also helped me a lot to identify hazards and risks.

I talked to workers and check PPE which was provided insufficient talking to workers and checking
previous records help me to identified hazard without any controls so I decided to recommend
additional controls that may be required to control present hazard.

Suggested word counts
Moral, general legal and financial arguments for all actions: 300 to 350 words
For EACH action:
Specific legal arguments: 100 to 150 words
Likelihood AND severity: 75 to 150 words
How effective the action is likely to be in controlling the risk: 100 to 150 words

Moral, general legal and financial arguments for ALL actions

Moral, general legal and financial Moral argument
arguments
It is morally right to ensure your workers return home safe and health at the end of every working
day. By protecting your workers, you reduce absences, ensuring that your workplace is more
efficient and productive. Research shows that workers are more productive in workplaces that are
committed to health and safety. Rizwan flour mill has morally responsible to provide safe system of
working plate form and risk free environment. It is necessary for company and workers that workers
comes to company for work and go back to home safely.
Legal argument
International labour organization has set out convention C155 and recommendation R164 which
apply to workplace health and safety standards. As a law are made to protect human rights so it
compels the employer to do what he morally should do in order to take reasonable care of
employees. Law define the framework that governs the conduct of business and organization. If
company shows non-compliance with health and safety standards and accidents occurs. It is
mandated by criminal law and any employer who fails to comply is exposed to very significant legal
risks. Both an organizational and individual level. Directors and employees can and do go to prison
for health and safety breaches, and significant fines are handed out.
The employer of Company has Following Legal duties of the ILO R164 article 10 obligations that
the Employer must;

1. (a) Provide & maintain workplace machinery, use work safe working methods which
without risks to health.

2. (b) Give necessary training and instructions.
3. (c) Provide supervision, working practice and applications.
4. (d) Provide the organizational arrangements,
5. (e) Provide PPEs and clothing,
Financial argument
As per ice burg model, uninsured cost is 8 to 36 times greater than insured costs. Every accident
has some costs which is direct and indirect cost. Some of these cost may be insured but many
cannot. Accidents and ill health at work are extremely expensive and represent a huge, often
hidden, source of loss. Accidents increase insurance premium. When accident occurs direct costs
will by pay by company is first aid treatment, hospital treatment charges, workers sick pay, and
visible damaged to property equipment and product. While indirect cost is just like invisible that will
be appointing new labour, compensation of injured workers, loss of investigation time, reduction in
staff morale and decreasing number of clients, heavy fines from civil and criminal courts etc.
Fire
Fuel should be keep in closed and packed tank and place in proper safe place
As per ILO recommendations R175 fire precaution Article 46,47 affirms that:
(Where necessary to guard against danger, workers should be suitable trained in the action to be
taken in the event of fire, including the use of means of escape)
(Where appropriate suitable visual signs should be provided to indicate clearly the directions of
escape in case of fire)
As per Pakistan factory act 1934 as amended to 1997 article 25. Precautions in case of fire
sub article 5 and 7 affirms that
(In every factory there shall be provided effective and clearly audible means of giving warning in
case of fire to every person employed therein)

Consideration of likelihood AND severity
 types of injury or ill health
 number of workers at risk
 how often the activity is carried
out
 how widespread the risk is

(In every factory wherein more than ten workers are ordinary employed in any place above the
ground floor, or explosive or highly inflammable materials are use or stored, effective measures
shall be taken to ensure that all the workers are familiar with the means of escape in case of fire
and have been adequately trained in the routine to be followed in such case)
severity consideration can be classified as:
Severity Categories:
1=Minimum: no physical injury & no property loss.
2=Medium: Required first aid after accident.
3= Major: in this situation worker face serious injury that should be shifted to hospital/sick leave
required, chance of disability, serious injuries long time hospital treatments requires and also

3 = High Likelihood
4 = Very High Likelihood
Consideration of likelihood of causing fire is high In mechanical workshop during lubricating heavy

workshop.
Severity of being harm due to fire is major Due to fire mechanics and nearby workers got injuries of
severe burns, head injury due to falling object, bleeding, unconsciousness and disability. Furtherly

The risk is widespread and present for all workers working in mechanical workshop.
The intended impact of the action is fuel should be keep in closed and packed tank and place in
proper safe place. It will eliminate the source of causing fire in mechanical workshop due to
smoking. Workers will be working in risk free environment.
Justification for timescale I have given is 1 day because it not requires budget allocation it just
requires to stop nearby activities and shift fuels tanks from one place to another so it requires one
day.
I think the action will fully control the risk of fire.
Noise
Rust full parts of machinery should be lubricate while lubricating lock out and tag out system should
be implement to avoid fatality. If rust full parts is damaged change it.
According to the ILO C148-working Environment (Air pollution, noise and vibration)
convention, 1977 (no.148) article 3 (b) says (the term noise covers all sound which can result in
hearing impairment or be harmful to health or otherwise dangerous) and article 12 says (the use of
processes, substances, machinery and equipment, to be specified by the competent authority,
which involve exposure of workers to occupational hazards in the working environment due to air
pollution, noise.
According to ILO convention C148 article 4 1. (National laws or regulations shall prescribe that
measure be taken for the prevention and control of, and protection against, occupational hazards in
the working environment due to noise.
The severity consideration can be classified as:
Severity Categories:

3 = High Likelihood
4 = Very High Likelihood
Consideration of likelihood is high In packing area packing machine create noise due to rust full
parts, they work there almost 8 hours so high likelihood due to long term exposure.
Severity of being harm due to noise is Major In packing machine area packing machines create
noise due to rust full parts workers exposed for long term will lead to hearing loss, damaged to ear
drums, headache and sleeping disorders.
Types of ill health hearing loss, damaged to ear drums, headache and sleeping disorders.
70 workers are at risk.
Activity has been carried out in packing area workers exposed to noisy machine for long term might
be harm.
Risk is widespread and present for all workers who exposed to noise and working in packing area.
The intended impact of the action is Rust full parts of machinery should be lubricate while
lubricating lock out and tag out system should be implement to avoid fatality. If rust full parts is
damaged change it. It will eliminate creating noise.
Justification for the timescale I have given is two days because working in noisy environment is
harm full for workers health so stop working and immediately maintaining all machine is necessary
so it will take two days to maintain all packing machine.
I think the action will fully control the risk of noise.

Manual handling
Forklift hand trolley and hoists should be provided in large quantity to avoid manual handling
According ILO convention C127 maximum weight convention 1967, article 3 (No worker shall
be required or permitted to engage in the manual transport of a load which, by reason of its weight,
is likely to jeopardise his health or safety.) And article 6 of C127 states that (In order to limit or to
facilitate the manual transport of loads, suitable technical devices shall be used as much as
possible.) article 5 (Each member shall take appropriate steps to ensure that any worker assigned
to manual transport of loads other than light loads receives, prior to such assignment, adequate
training or instruction in working techniques, with a view to safeguarding health and preventing
accidents)
See Justification 1 for likelihood and severity.
Consideration of likelihood is high In ware house workers involved in loading truck manually 50KG
packages for so long time. So working almost 8 hours is quite risky so that is why likelihood is high.
Severity of being harm due to manual handling is major Due to manual handling for long term
workers will facing work related upper limb disorders, back pain, pain in muscles, hands, legs and
fingers.
35 workers are at risk
Types of ill health work related upper limb disorders, back pain, pain in muscles, hands, legs and

Activity has been carried out in ware house workers working manually for long term might be
harmed due to manual handling.
Risk is widespread and present for all those workers who involved in manual handling.
The intended impact of the action is forklift hand trolley and hoists should be provided in large
quantity to avoid manual handling. It will make work easy and eliminate manual handling. Workers
will be working in risk free environment it will lead workers to more productive workforce.
Justification for timescale have given is q week because it requires meeting and approval on other
