Unit IG2: Risk assessment

Declaration: by submitting this assessment (Parts 1 – 4) for marking I declare that it is entirely my own work. I understand that falsely
claiming that the work is my own is malpractice and can lead to NEBOSH imposing severe penalties (see the NEBOSH Malpractice Policy
for further information).

Part 1: Background

Include in here the organisation’s name* and location* and number of workers. You must then go on to give a description of the main
activities/products/services carried out. You must also describe the area to be risk assessed eg, whole site, and anything else that you consider
relevant (approximately 150 to 200 words):
My organization “ PALATHARA CONSTRUCTION” .This company is Established in 1975. This company located in changanacherry which is located in
kottayam district Kerala, India. The companies are engaged in civil and electrical work for the last 38 years and are one of the leading civil engineer contractors
in Kerala. This company is aimed to provide good construction.
There are 400 workers including the site manager, site engineer, safety manager, safety officer, supervisor, foreman, security staff and general
workers. This company is having multiple shift coverage starting from 8am to 6pm on week days and is closed at the weekend main activities in
the site are welding, concreting, steel work, tiling, etc..
This company usually uses modern equipment’s like excavators, dragline excavator, bulldozer, concrete mixer, tower cranes, mobile cranes,
dumper trucks, pile boring machine, pile driving machine. various work done by this company are temporary shed construction foundation digging,
footing or pillar base, house elevation, painting, mouldings and electric pipes setup inside roof. I selected the whole construction site which includes
site administration office, storage room, vehicle garage, loading and unloading area.

Safety manager is responsible for implementing the risk assessment and overall health and safety in the site

You must now give a brief outline on how you completed the risk assessment (approximately 200 words):
I referred ILO for extra information is for preparing this risk assessment. Even I used HSE website for detailed information’s. After referring all
these for information’s went to the construction site for direct observation and talked to the workers about the work, they too gave information’s
regarding hazards existing control measures and methods followed. https://www.hse.gov.uk.

Learner number: 00563742 Learner name: JAISAL AK Page 1 of 24

,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_and_Safety_Executive was goods source of information.
I also gone through the accident records to see what all incident happened over the last six month, I even checked the attendance of workers and
enquired about their reason for absence. I also checked some of the HSE approved codes for better guidance and for accurate information’s.
https://worksmart.org.uk/health-adice/health-and-safety/employer-duties/what-are-approved-codes-practice this was the guidance URL where I
collected information’s.
ILO C155 – occupational safety and health convention, 1981 (No.155), ILO R164-occupational safety and health recommendation, 1981(No.164),
ILO C119- guarding of machinery convention,1963(No.119),ILO R118-guarding of machinery recommendation,1963(No.118). These are legal
standards followed by the company and I referred this for preparing the additional control measures of the hazards. I have added points from my
experience in the field. Time scale suggested where based on the previous risk assessment and from the suggestions taken from the finance
manager.

* If you’re worried about confidentiality, you can invent a false name and location for your organisation but, all other information provided must be
factual.

 Part 3: Prioritise three actions and justification for the selection

You must pick the three highest priority/most urgent actions and justify your choice. Your justification must include moral, legal and
financial arguments (500 to 700 words); consideration of likelihood and probable severity of injury, ill-health and/or harm (150 to 250 words);
description of how effective each action is likely to be in controlling the risk (250 to 350 words).

The actions that I am prioritising are:

1. Purchasing first aid unit at close range and proper drinking water facilities.(hazard category, health welfare and work environment)
2. Purchase good tested and standard wire and use of electrical equipment’s according to standard operational procedure to eliminate
the fire hazard (hazard category : fire hazard)
3. Purchase of “powered air respirator” and “protective clothing” (hazard category, hazard substances)

Our company has the moral duty to ensure the safety of all the workers. The main duties of workers is to do work and earn wages, so it is our
responsibility to make sure that all the workers are working healthily and protected. There are many major and minor injuries occurring in the
site. some injuries have the impact on lives of the workers and their families. long term injuries can also affect the mental health. We used to
hear that many workers being injured in the site due to lack of safety procedures, in this case our duty is to ensure a life guaranteed working
experience and wages.

Financial impacts could be broken down in to three categories. costs associated with:

 Injured workers (medical costs, sick pay etc.)

 Costs related to enforcement actions.
 Replacement cost(damaged PPE, tools, machineries)
 Cost production time while dealing with the injured workers.

Enforcement actions followed by the company provide advices, standard way of investigation and a very formal way to take enforcement
action upon a worker to comply with the laws and by accepting their role in offence.

Learner number: 00563742 Learner name: JAISAL AK Page 20 of 24

If the company can’t go through the ILO standards already provided(like improvement notices, particular time for maintenance providing
qualified PPE),they will have to face the enforcement stages later forwarded to the civil court proceedings further leads to huge financial
impact which includes fines and even imprisonment of manager and senior manager.

There is also a special requirement that the organisation ”PALATHARA CONSTRUCTIONS” needs to meets the ILO standards, chemical
convention 1990(No:170) ILO chemical recommendation 1990 (No:177) ILO R177 chemical recommendation 1990(No:177). This is the way
to ensure the employer that power air respirator(from hazard category, hazard substances)and providing first aid(from hazard category,
health welfare and work environment) by following the ILO standards mentioned above. Further inspections should conduct in regular
intervals recommended by the agencies. If they fail to do all these agencies have the power to take further action, like worker compensation
claims etc.

The ILO C155 occupational safety and health convention 1982(No.155)ILO R164 occupational safety and health recommendation
1981(No:164)ISO 7010 international standards of safety sign says that employers to ensure that good quality protective cloths are used by
following the ILO standards mentioned above.

The organisation can also find civil claims from sick workers. Some of the claims may be made by a few when the employees leave from the
“PALATHARA CONSTRUCTION “job and civil claims for payable in addition to these legal fees will also be high. I also state that many of
these costs are not deductible by the insurance company.

Due to careless activities can also find civil claims from sick workers. Some of the claims may be made by a few years when the employees
leave from the “PALATHARA CONSTRUCTION” job and civil claims for payable in addition to these legal fees will also be high. I also state
that many of these costs are not deductible by the insurance company.

Due to careless activities they will have to face a big impact on the reputation which can result in loss of contracts.

Likely hood and severity.

 The likelihood of injuries occurring from this hazard is high. Since the site is having 400 workers and since site doesn’t have
a good safety culture, the chance of getting injured is very high. There are various machineries and equipment that can lead
to minor cuts to serious injuries. Since the people I found in the site are young and less competent, the potential to cause

Learner number: 00563742 Learner name: JAISAL AK Page 21 of 24

 injury is high. There were no trained first aiders and adequate number of supervisors in the site to watch them. So I found the
workers were doing job from their own knowledge without following a proper procedure that can increase the chance of
injuries. The severity depends upon the equipment, machinery , presence and absence of guards, use of personal protec tive
equipment, training and experience to use the equipment.

 When the faulty wire or electrical equipment may not installed properly it can cause spark and leads to fire hazard. It may
catch fire to the near equipment’s or flammable injury which are kept in unsafe conditions and leads to high explosion. The
severity from the fire hazard causes wide range of causalities and whole work site. Some times of may leads to more number
death

 As the company has the contract to finish the work within a particular time, it is undergoing on a tight scheduled work. The
amount of smoke inhaled by the workers is limitless. This can cause many serious effects to the lungs breathing problems. It
is not that easy to reduce the amount of smoke and dust ejected from the machineries and other working plants nearby. The
likelihood of injury occurring from this hazard is high. Since the number of workers works simultaneously it is hard to keep a
clean dust free environment. I found that people working in the site don’t use much air powered respirators, the chance of
inhaling dust, smoke even toxic gas is high.

Controlling the risk

 The first aid is generally performed by someone with basic training. There are many situations which may require first aid; this can
include specific training or equipment to be available in the workspace. The provision of specialist first aid covers the employees. The
first aid unit and water facilities should be provided close to the activity area. So that in case of emergency, Workers or the injured
person can easily reach to the first aid unit. This can avoid the occurrence of occupational health lines and further serious cause.
Various injuries like bone fracture, burns, cardiac arrest, chocking, cramps, heart attacks are the common injuries which requires first
aid. I have given a timescale of one week to solve this so that the management has sufficient time to purchase and install the required
number of first aids and water facilities.

 By purchasing good tasted and standard wires, the accidents caused by the spark from the wires should be certified and well quality
to resist the overload. Proper inspection should be done and the electrical wires. I recommended purchasing the good quality wires
the timescale for purchasing I the finance manager is the correct person to implement it.

Learner number: 00563742 Learner name: JAISAL AK Page 22 of 24

 The powered air respirator and protective clothing will minimise the exposure to hazardous substance. This can reduce work related ill
health and loss of work days. Employers and employees must understand the respirator purpose and limitation. If the respirator fails,
the use will be over exposed to dangerous substance. The respirator must fit properly and maintained in a clean serviceable condition
in order to reduce the possibility of failure. I have given a timescale of 2 weeks for purchasing sufficient number of protective
equipment for all the workers.

Part 4: Review, communicate and check

You must now give a review date for your risk assessment and say why you have chosen this date (10 to 50 words).

The organisation risk assessment review policy is maximum one year if not trigger any other circumstance. Therefore I set one year time
period to review the risk assessment, because one year is enough to understand effectiveness of action that taken as per the risk
assessment. So I put the review is 05 December 2021

You must now indicate how the risk assessment findings will be communicated (including who needs to know the information) (100 to 150
words).

I will submit a copy of my risk assessment to the senior most manager of the organisation and discuss the new control measures to be
implement. Then I will forward a copy of my risk assessment to the site manager and finance manager via an e-mail. After this I will meet up

with the site manager and finance manager for further discussion. The result will publish on the notice boards. The whole summary of the
findings are made available to the company’s website which is helpful for the workers to access anytime. All findings will be communicated to
the workers through toolbox talk.

You must now indicate how you will follow-up on the risk assessment to check that the actions have been carried out (100 to 150 words).

For the better implementation of the given control measures. I will set up a daily reminder for a month. I will interact with the responsible
persons for each of the action to be taken. If there is delay, I will contact the senior manager and suggest a better implementation on time. If
the given control measures are not accessible to the work, I will speak to the Finance Director for provide some additional resources available
for the action. Action that more than six months late to complete will be referred to then Managing Director through the Finance Manager. I
