LESSON 5:

Risk Assessment
and Reporting
Prepared by:
Engr. Jasmin G. Madayag
Learning Outcome:
1. Familiarize the procedure in risk assessment and reporting.
2. Identify the types of hazards in a workplace.
Concepts
• HAZARDS – anything that may likely
cause personal injury or damage to
property, or their combination.
• RISKS – a combination of the likely
severity and probability that
somebody will actually be harmed
by a specific hazard
• ACCIDENT – an unplanned,
undesired, unwanted & unwanted
event, which may or may not result
to injury or property damage, and
that may disrupt the completion of
an activity.
Accidents
• 98% - preventable

88% - unsafe / unhealthy


ACTS
10% - unsafe/unhealthy
CONDITIONS

• 2% - non-preventable
How to look for Hazards?
• OHS Inspection and checklist
• Close Observation of tasks
• Accident ill health or near miss data
• Job Safety Analysis
• Legal Standards
• Manufactures information (Safety Data Sheet)
• Guidance: ILO, OSHA, ISO, HSE..
• Consultation & Internet
Hazards come from:
 Unsafe act is any human action
that violates a commonly
accepted safe work procedure.
 Unsafe condition is a condition
in the work place that is likely
to cause property damage or
injury.
Examples of Unsafe Acts
• Operating Equipment without authority
• Disregard of SOP or instructions
• Removing Safety Devices
• Using Defective equipment
• Improper/Non-use of PPEs
• Horseplaying
• Willful intent to injure
• Working while under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Factors Contributing to Unsafe Acts
• Improper Attitude
• Physical Limitations
• Lack of Knowledge or Skills
Examples of Unsafe Condition
• Inadequate guards/protection
• Defective tools, equipment
• Congestion
• Inadequate warning systems
• Fire and explosion hazards
• Slippery floors
• Hazardous atmospheric condition
• Excessive noise
• Radiation exposure
• Inadequate illumination/ ventilation
Ergonomic Hazard Biological Hazard Chemical Hazards Physical Hazards
Repetitive movements Exposure to biological Any contact/ absorption of Any harmful energy
Examples: agents: toxic elements absorbed by the body
¤ Frequent lifting ¤ Bacteria Examples:
¤ Poor Posture ¤ Viruses ¤ Acids Sources:
¤ Improperly adjusted ¤ Fungi ¤ Paint ¤ Mechanical sources -
works ¤Heavy metal including noise, vibration
mercury , lead, cadmium, ¤ Radiation sources
aluminum ¤ Thermal sources
Types of Hazards
Risk Assessment
Risk Assessment is a systematic approach to identify hazards,
evaluate risks, and incorporate appropriate measures to manage
and mitigate risk for any work or process.

The risk associated with a hazard is a combination of:


 the severity of the harm (CONSEQUENCES) and
 the probability (LIKELIHOOD) that the event will occur.
Procedure of Risk Assessment
Process
1st step: Estimate the probability of each hazard – previously
identified – according to its likelihood of occurrence (very likely;
likely; quite possible; possible; not likely) and assign the
quantitative value accordingly.

2nd step: Estimate the severity of each hazard according to its


potential of the harm (very high, high; moderate; slight; nil) and
assign the quantitative value accordingly.
Procedure of Risk Assessment
Process
3rd step: Once the probability and the severity of the
hazard is
determined, by multiplying these two factors, a range of
risk ratings
between 1 and 25 will be obtained.
Procedure of Risk Assessment
Process
4th step: Risk evaluation, criterion of actions:
 Urgent situation (20 to 25) requires action immediately

 High-risk situations (10 to 16) require action in the short and medium-

term
 Medium-risk situations (5 to 9) require action or further evaluation

within an appropriate period


 Low-risk situations (less than 5) may require relatively little or no

action

5th step: After the comparison with the criterion for action, the risks are
assigned a priority for risk control through the use of a risk rating.
Risk Control
Risk control is the process of
implementing measures to
reduce the risk associated with
a hazard. It includes three
operations:
 Decision-making
 Implementation
 Monitoring
Records of Risk Assessment
• At least once every three years
• After an accident
• When there is significant change in work procedures/design
• Introduction of new equipment
