Procedure
1. The procedure for preparing the HIRA is as follows:

A. Risk involved in each activity and existing control measures are analysed and Severity
Rating and Likelihood rating are given in HIRA Matrix.

B. Risk level is identified from the matrix based on the rating given.

C. Control measures are evolved to bring the risk level to ALARP (as low as reasonably
practicable) and residual risk is also identified.

D. If the residual risk is not at acceptable level, then assessment process shall be repeated
to bring the residual risk at ALARP.

2. This activity is done for activities identified as Medium & High Risk.
3. The lists of control measures for the activities are handed over to the concerned execution
engineer for implementation.
4. The HIRA shall be explained to the concerned workmen/supervisors and engineer for
implementation.

portion of work shall be suspended immediately and information shall be given immediately
to all concerned by Chief EHS Manager.

EHS Audit

Monthly Audit Rating Score (M A R S)

Monthly Audit Rating Score (MARS) will be performed once in a month. A team consisting of
Project manager SBEL and DMRC representative based on the pre-designed score-rating
format will conduct it.

Monthly Audits will be conducted in accordance with DMRC Guidelines. The Project Manager
accompanied by the DMRC’s representatives shall carry out the Audit. SBEL’s senior manager
and EHS in-charge should also be invited to attend.

Timing
The Monthly Audit Rating Score (MARS) should be conducted at least 7 days prior to the
scheduled date of Monthly EHS Committee meeting.

9.2.3 Evaluation
The numerical scoring has been weighed on a 1-10 scale. The audit team will use their
observations noted in evaluating the points to be awarded against each of the elements of the
audited section. Wherever some topics and sub-topics are not applicable the score rating need
not be given. The overall audit ratings shall be achieved by:

 Prevention of dumper and dump truck accidents should be managed by providing wheel
stops at a sufficient distance from the edges of excavations, spoil heaps, pits, etc.

 The manufacturer’s recommended bucket size must not be exceeded in excavators.

 If excavators operating on a gradient, which cannot be avoided, it must be ensured that the
working cycle is slowed down, that the bucket is not extended too far in the downhill
direction, and that travel is undertaken with extreme caution. A large excavator must never
be permitted to travel in a confined area, or around people, without a banksman to guide the
driver, who should have the excavator attachment close in to the machine, with the bucket

condition and correctly inflated. If stabilizing devices are fitted, they should be employed
when the machine is excavating.
 When operating the backhoe in poor ground conditions, the stabilizers tend to sink into the
surface of the ground, reducing stability. Therefore frequent checks shall be made for the
stability of the machine. The loading shovel should always be lowered to the ground to
stabilise the machine when the backhoe is employed.
 The netting operation of the skip wagons should be carried out prior to lifting the skip to
reduce the risks of working on the rear platform
