Inspection.
This is machine inspection

whether you are m/c expert. 3
Workplace Safety inspection = Safety Inspection covering Workplace
But, it may have different means to cover different things in the workplace
and to different depth.
And, it also depends on our competency.
So, we need to define its terms of reference before conducting the expected
workplace inspection.

Hazard can be defined as
Inherent property or condition that
adversely affect the well-being or
health and safety of exposed persons.
Remarks:
• You can see or sometimes can even measure the
hazard.
• One hazard can bring more than 1 risk.

What is the hazard ( 危害 )? What is the risk( 風

• Could you see the guy:
– “Working at height – at top of A-ladder”?
– This is a hazard.

5.6.1 Identification of hazardous exposure or the risk of such
exposure to the workers
In order to identify hazards and assess their associated risks, … should in the
first place prepare a list of items covering premises, plant, people and
procedures, and gather information about them. The information required
should include: (a) tasks being carried out, their duration and frequency; (b)
location(s) where the work is carried out; (c) who normally/occasionally
carries out the tasks; (d) who may be affected by the work (e.g. visitors,
contractors, and the public); (e) training that personnel have received about
the tasks; (f) written systems of work and/or permit-to-work procedures
prepared for the tasks; (g) plant and machinery that may be used; (h)
powered hand tools that may be used; (i) manufacturers' or suppliers'
instructions for the operation and maintenance of plant, machinery and
powered hand tools; (j) size, shape, surface character and weight of materials
that may be handled; (k) distances and heights to which materials have to be
moved by hand; (l) services used (e.g. compressed air, power supply); (m)
substances used or encountered during work; (n) physical form of substances
used or encountered (fume, gas, vapour, liquid, dust/powder, solid); (o)
contents and recommendations of hazard data sheets relating to substances
used or encountered; (p) legal requirements and standards relevant to the
work, the plant and machinery used, and the substances used or
encountered; (q) control measures in place; (r) reactive monitoring data
(incidents, accidents and ill-health records associated with the work and the
equipment and substances used) from within and outside the organisation;
and (s) findings of any existing assessments relating to the work activity.
Details of risk assessment, evaluation and development of safety procedures
and risk control measures are described in Part 5.11.

When to say “no” in hazard description
• Such as no safety belt, no safety gear, no procedure
• Use “no”
• when something is expected to be there, but it is not
there.
• This “no” is called “omission”.
• This omission can either:
• directly cause accident to happen, or
• be not compiling with common norm / standard /
law.
21

Comment:
• Even with the photo above, the hazard has not been explain
ed. Machinery, of course, will give machinery hazard.
• The finding cannot be specifically supported. There would b
e many machines in the workshop. Does this mean only one m
achine or some machines?
71

• Example recommendation:
Push stick and guide can be provided to help feeding the sma

Better example of finding (2/2)
• Example finding:
A man was found standing on top of A-ladder,
posing a risk of falling.
74
Finding should
• be supported by evidence, such as photo;
• be explained (evidence cannot tell by itself);
• give warning if there is possible non-compliance;
• be organised and prioritized if there are many; can be prioritise
