Unit IG2: Risk assessment

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):
The Name of my company is Muhammad Ibrahim Associates Pvt Ltd. (known as MIA Pvt Ltd.). It is a Rawalpindi based
construction company and have 250 workers being employed by it.
It is a medium size construction company who mostly do projects related to construction of multi-storey residential as well as
commercial building, roads and hospitals. Sometimes it also provides maintenance and rehabilitation services to client on demand. It took mostly
projects from government departments. It also provides its service to private clients as well. The typical activities undertaken include the building
frame work structure from foundation, brick work, plastering, painting, and finishing works. The company have a policy which defined time table
for worker i.e. work start form 9 A.M. in morning and off at 5 P.M. But this working time extended when an activity needed to be completed within
some specific time period e.g. concrete pouring which sometimes carried out till late night. Company remain close on Friday and give off to its
workers on Friday. Workers are paid for their overtime if in any scenario company require them to give an extra time on site.
The risk assessment will cover the construction site of new project undertaken by my company, which is also based in Rawalpindi. It
is a six-storey building construction project and which is under in its initial phase and different activities are currently going on this site like
formwork, steel fixing, producing concrete through concrete mixer, concrete pouring in formworks, welding, cutting of steel bars Etc. and about 65
workers are currently working at this site The Project Manager and Finance Manager (Who are reporting directly to Managing Director of company)
are responsible for workplace health and safety. While Site Engineer and Site supervisor who are present on site all the time, are responsible for day-
to-day reporting and monitoring of health and safety related activities.
You must now give a brief outline on how you completed the risk assessment (approximately 200 words):
I started from checking online resources available like ILO Convention C155 and Recommendation (R164), Codes of Practices and
found a relevant ILO’s Codes of Practices to my area of assessment i.e. “Safety & Health in Construction” (https://www.ilo.org) which proved a
very useful source of information. Like that I also check the British HSE web for construction code of practices and found “Health and Safety in
Construction” (HSG150) which was also proved a good source of information. Also, some national online available resources like Pakistan
Engineering Council’s “Pakistan Health & Safety Act 2108” are also read by me, to gather the information.
After online available sources, I read the documents available related to company and site i.e. company policy documents, Site
location and facilities in surrounding information documents etc. then I went to the site and have a talk with people of management like site
engineer, site supervisor and the workers who actually doing the job. This talk proves very fruitful for me in a sense that they give me information
that information which I couldn’t get by just visual inspection of site like some of the workers doesn’t know about the availability of PPEs like
Hard hats and why these hats are necessary for them at workplace and some hidden hazard which I may possible miss them without this meeting.

 While assessing control measures, I used to consult from both online sources i.e. ILO Convention C155 & Recommendation
(R164), CoP “Safety & Health in Construction” & British HSE approved CoP i.e. “Health and Safety in Construction” (HSG150).
* 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 three actions that I am prioritizing are;

1. Provide clean water for drinking which is fit for human consumption.
2. Need to provide temporary/mobile toilets on site.
3. Need to engage properly these workers on site to remove extra things from site and maintain good housekeeping on site.

MIA Pvt Ltd. has some moral responsibilities towards its workers that it needs to fulfil. One of the major moral responsibility is to
protect its workers at workplace. As workers come to work with expectation to earning for themselves and their families, not for to get injured
or get ill due to workplace or activities or processes at workplace where they are working. If a worker gets harmed by workplace activity or
environment, will not only affects the worker life only but its family and relatives also suffer from his/her condition. Workers getting injured
severely or ill will not only get physical injuries but also get mentally disturb too. Like that the workers on site when see their fellow workers
getting injured or ill due workplace activity or environment will also have negative impact on their mental state.

Like that there also some financial impact that it will face due to any incident occur at workplace. These impacts can be classified
into following categories:
• When workers get injured or ill: first-aid treatment cost, worker sick pay, replacement workers pay.
• Damage to property: damage to equipment, replacement of equipment, damage to buildings, loss of useful material.
• Legal cost due to enforcement agency action.
Possible action that can be taken by enforcement agencies against MIA Pvt Ltd. is by giving it some specific deadline to fulfil the
requirement that to put things at correct place (Improvement Notice) or by stopping all activities on site (Prohibition Notice) which ultimately
have major financial impact on company if sites are not properly operating.
There are some conditions that are required to meet by MIA Pvt Ltd under the ILO Convention C155 & Recommendation R164.
This ILO Convention and Recommendation requires that an employer need to ensure that proper welfare facilities are provided and maintained
on workplace for workers. In this regard, ILO’s Codes of Practices “Safety & Health in Construction” (Section 19.1, 19.2, 19.3) requires that an
employer need to provide adequate supply of wholesome drinking water from a source approved by competent authority as fit for human
consumption. Like that, it is responsibility of employer to ensure the provision of other welfare facilities i.e. sanitary and washing facilities Etc.

Learner number: 00538280 Learner name: Zeeshan Haider Page 14 of 17

depending upon the numbers of workers and duration of work. Failing in to do so will result in serious consequences including enforcement
agency notices.
The ILO Convention C155 & Recommendation R164 also require that an employer need to ensure that the place of work under their
control is safe and without any risk to health. In this regard, ILO’s Codes of Practices “Safety & Health in Construction” (Section 3.3) requires
that a suitable housekeeping programme should be established & continuously implemented on each construction site. This programme includes
provisions for proper storage of material & equipment; removal of scrap, waste & debris at appropriate intervals. Failure to do so could result in
enforcement agency action, worker claim for medical compensation Etc.
Organisation could also face the civil claims by workers who get ill or injured under their employment. Some of these claims made
after years by workers who have left MIA Pvt Ltd & in result MIA Pvt ltd. have to pay a significant amount to workers or to families of workers
in case of workers’ death. Along with this cost, other cost like fees of prosecutor and other legal cost will have to pay and many of these costs
are not insured and is not in the scope of insurance company’s contract that company had signed with insurance company. So, it couldn’t be
recovered from insurance company.
If any serious incident occurred on site involving many casualties, it may serious damage the reputation of MIA Pvt Ltd in the
public which result in future loss of contracts.

Likelihood and Severity:

1. The likelihood of suffering from ill-health by drinking unfit & unclean water is quite high. This is one of the basic welfare facilities that
need to be provided on site and all workers drink it often in a day for proper working. Like that the severity of the risk could be pretty
serious. Workers may suffer from many diseases if continue drinking this water like typhoid, dysentery, cholera, gastroenteritis, rise of
blood pressure in some cases. The severity of the hazard depends upon the immune system of workers.
2. The likelihood of this hazard is high because it’s one of the basic welfare facilities that workers used often in their daily life. So, due to
less number of toilets on site, will lead to suffering of many workers from this hazard on site. Like that severity of this hazard is also
serious in a sense that if workers try to control their urge to go to toilet for a long period or use some other spots on site for toilet purpose
then it will lead to many problems related to their health like exposing their bodies to bacteria that may cause urinary tract infection or
bladder infection, fissures, unhygienic condition on site which give birth to many other diseases as well respectively.
3. With bad housekeeping condition on site where scraps, waste material, debris and other things with pointing edges are scattered on the
site, there are more likely chances of many people may get hurt or injured from these things. The probability of these hurting of workers
from these things is considerable high. These injuries may include abrasions, cuts, bruising, bone injuries, fracture and head injuries in
case of person fall on ground due to these hurdles, foot injuries Etc.
Controlling the Risk:
1. By providing clean water for drinking will save the workers from the potential risk toward their health. It will eliminate the risk associated
with their health which was due to drinking of unfit drinking water. I have given a timescale of 5 days for this action to be completed

Learner number: 00538280 Learner name: Zeeshan Haider Page 15 of 17

 because of drinking water need to be transported at site from far away located source & also for budget approval from finance manager
for purchasing of water. It expected that this action will be completed in this timescale.
2. By increasing the numbers of toilets on the site will help in almost eliminating this hazard. Worker will use toilets rather than different
spots on the site while other will not have to wait for toilet to get empty and can easily use it any time. I have given a timescale of 2
weeks for this action to be completed. It is because it needs to be get approved from finance manager for budget purpose and further for
its location decision and purchasing process of these temporary/mobile toilet. It is hoped that this action will be completed within the
assign timescale.
3. By removing excessive things from site and keeping good housekeeping on site, will improve the condition of the site. It also reduces
the risk associated with bad housekeeping like injuries etc. to workers and visitors on the site. I have given a timescale of 1 week for this
action to be completed because the workers who are assigned with duties of maintaining good housekeeping at site are present. Supervisor
just need to engage them properly in their duties and monitor their work. It is hoped that action will be completed within this defined
time period.

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).

I have selected the review date after Six months (i.e. 10 October, 2020) because it is company policy to review risk assessment bi-annually.

You must now indicate how the risk assessment findings will be communicated (including who needs to know the information) (100 to 150
words).
First of all, I will arrange a meeting with Project Manager and Finance Manager and discuss about the risk assessment findings and actions that
are required and get approval from them for required actions. Then, I will share the summary of risk assessment findings and actions required
by HR Manager, Site Engineer and Site Supervisor through email and arrange a meeting afterwards if required. I will also advise the Site
Supervisor to discuss about the action that workers need to take in their working, during tool-box talk that will be specially arrange for this
purpose. I will also paste a summary of risk assessment on notice board present at site where all workers have easy access and can easily read
it.

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).
I will set a reminder in my mobile phone 2 days before the action is going to be completed and will find out the current status of the action from
the person responsible for required action. If any action lagging behind the pre-defined timescale or taking more time, I will try to find the root
cause of this lagging or delay e.g. is it due to budget approval issue for this action or other reason like absence of any responsible person for this
action etc. and will make sure the hurdle or problem will be sort out as soon as possible for completion of action in time. If any action that seems
like not going to be completed in time, I will may ask Project Manager and Finance Manager for allocation more resources if available like
