Session Objectives

After attending this session, you should be able to:

Name three steps to conduct a hazard

assessment

Quantify risk using a risk matrix

Explain purpose of controlling hazards and risks

Recite the ANSI Z10 hierarchy of controls

Name three main components of managing risk

Name two elements of a Risk Control Plan

Review: Hazard & Risk Assessment

Review: Hazard vs. Risk

Hazard • Condition

• Set of circumstances

• Action/behavior

• Inherent property

…that can cause injury, illness, death, damage, harm

Risk Estimate of likelihood of occurrence of hazardous

event or exposure, and the severity of injury or

illness that may be caused by the event or exposure

i.e., Chance that someone could be harmed by

hazard(s), combined with an indication of how

serious the harm could be

What is Hazard & Risk Assessment?

Systematic approach to:

1. Identify hazards

2. Evaluate risk (severity and likelihood) – quantitative or

qualitative analysis

3. Determine, incorporate, and communicate safety measures,

components, human interventions to manage/mitigate

hazards/risk for a work process or activity

How likely is it? What are the

Impacts

Risk Level

MANAGE RISK

Purpose of Risk Management:

to reduce/eliminate risk at source

What can go

Wrong

3. Manage Risk

2. Evaluate/Assess/Quantify

Risk

Score

Risk

Level

Acceptability

of Risk Recommended Actions

<3 Low

Risk Acceptable

No additional risk control measures required. To continue to monitor to

ensure risk do not escalate to higher level.

3 – 4 Medium

Risk

Moderately

Acceptable

Acceptable to carry out the work activity; however, task need to be

reviewed to bring risk level to As Low As Reasonably Practicable.

Interim control measures such as administrative controls can be

implemented. Supervisory oversight required.

>4 High

Risk

Not

Acceptable

Job must not be carried out until risk level is brought to at least medium

risk level.

Risk controls should not be overly dependant on personal protective

equipment. Controls measures should focus on Elimination, substitution

and engineering controls.

Immediate Management intervention required to ensure risk being

brought down to at least medium level before work can be commenced.

3. Manage Risk



1. Identify Hazards


Purpose of

Managing Risk

Prevent injury/illness, fatality, damage

Reduce losses

Prevent future incidents

Provide protection

Achieve acceptable level of risk

3. Manage Risk

1. Make a Control Plan:

- Apply

Hazard/Risk

Controls

- Responsible Persons

- Timeline

2. Plan Approval,

Communication,

Implementation,

Maintenance

3. Record Keeping

and

Document Control

1. Make a Control Plan

A. Task-Oriented Plan B. Process/Project-Oriented Plan

Risk rated 3 or less

Risk rated low to medium

Risk rated more than 3

Risk rated medium to high risk

Use Job Safety Analysis (JSA),

Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), or

Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA)

Use a planning team

Use checklists Identify control(s) for each hazard


A. Task-Oriented Plan should:

Identify ways to protect workers from exposure to hazards of

task/project

Use Hierarchy of Controls (ANSI Z10) to reduce risk of

exposure

Result in the concept “As Low As Reasonably Practicable”

(ALARP)

Achieve an acceptable level of risk

22

A. Task-Oriented Plan should answer:

• Can I eliminate the hazard?

• Can I minimize the risks?

• Do I need help?

• Is there a better time to do the work?

• Do others need to be informed?

• What specific PPE and tools are required?

• What lock out or permit is needed?

• Is there a JSA or reliable method/procedure/checklist I

need to review?

B. Project/Process-Oriented Control Plan should:

Identify ways to protect workers from exposure to hazards of

task/project

Use Hierarchy of Controls (ANSI Z10) to reduce risk of

exposure

Result in ALARP, achieve acceptable level of risk

Evaluate and apply temporary and permanent controls

Implement temporary measures until permanent (engineering)

controls can be put in place

Implement permanent controls when reasonably practicable

B. Process/Project – Oriented Control Plan

Step 1. Create a planning team, assign Team Leader

Step 2. List operations, facilities, workers, work areas, others

with possible impact

Step 3. Outline potential hazards and harmful impacts

• H&S Hazards (chem., phys., biol. ergo)

• Natural hazards, weather, environment

• Environmental hazards and threats

• Human factors: sabotage, terrorism, threats

Step 4. List and prioritize mitigation strategies for each

hazard identified using hierarchy (ANSI Z10)


1. Control Plan – Mitigation Strategy

1. Eliminate/reduce in design process

2. Substitute less hazardous methods/materials

3. Engineering controls/safety devices

4. Provide warning systems

5. Administrative controls, work practices

6. Personal Protective Equipment


Combination of Controls

In some cases, a combination of controls may be

necessary to fully protect workers.

Worker wearing respirator & coveralls in a

ventilated spray booth.


Who and When?

Team establishes timeline for completion

Assign responsible persons to implement identified

control measures

Assign time frames and benchmarks

Control Plan - Assign Action Items,

Responsibilities, Target Dates

2. Control Plan Approval & Communication

1. Team seeks approval of plan with stakeholders before

implementation

- Managers, operations/area supervisors, front-line,

maintenance

- Acceptable level of risk, ALARP

2. Review plan to ensure no residual risk or additional risk

arising from control measures

3. Communicate new control measures to affected persons

4. Information/training might be needed

Roll out

Team Leader:

steers efforts,

monitors action items,

monitors timelines/benchmarks

Team revises plan as needed

Additional control measures might be needed

Update risk assessment after additional control

measures completed

2. Control Plan Implementation

Evaluate work area to determine if

hazardous conditions or actions still exist

1. Monitor/check implementation of new control measures; report

progress to stakeholders

2. Perform Risk Assessment Review:

- Done on systematic/scheduled basis to maintain a safe

workplace

- Based on company requirements, regulatory requirements

- After an accident/incident occurs

- Whenever change in process, activity, equipment occurs

3. Occurs through safety program components – such as….

2. Control Plan - Maintenance

36

…..Safety Program Components

• Inspections/Audits

• Walkthroughs

• JSAs/Procedures

• Engineering/Design

• Training

• Housekeeping

• Safety meetings

• Job Observations

2. Control Plan – Maintenance

3. Record Keeping & Document Control

1. Risk Assessment & Control records should be kept for

as long as required

2. Keep records:

• As long as process/activity is still valid

• Throughout/end of project/product life cycle

• To comply with company retention requirements

• To support regulatory documentation for training,

inspections, VPP
