Part 3: Prioritise 3 actions with justification for the selection
Suggested word counts
Moral and financial arguments for all actions: 300 to 350 words
For EACH action:
Specific legal arguments: 100 to 150 words
Likelihood AND severity: 75 to 150 words
How effective the action is likely to be in controlling the risk: 100 to 150 words

Moral and financial arguments for ALL actions

Moral, general legal and financial arguments Moral arguments:

According to the statistics from International Labour Organization (ILO), approximately 2.3 million
men and women died in 2019 related to construction industry accidents. Many times more is the
number of men and women suffered serious injuries, illness and still in pain. These realities show
the seriousness of the situation. People are going to work for earning a living. It is not only for them;
but for their families and those depends on them for a living. In an organization, when safety and
health is not managed effectively, people involved in work activities may end up dying, getting
seriously injured or experience ill health. All these leads to limitless sufferings. Our society as a
whole agrees that such happenings are morally unacceptable. Death, injury or ill-health should not
be the reward for any individual working for an organization to feed his/her family.
Legal arguments:
Employers are getting benefits from the various work activities happening in their organizations
including in the form of profit and growth of the organization. Why this happens is due to the goods
and services produced by the hard working employees. Hence every employer has a legal
responsibility to provide safe place for work, safe tools and equipment to work, safe methods of
work, and provide necessary awareness to perform the job safely. There are many national and
international rules and regulations such as ILO, OSHA, etc. stating the requirements for a
workplace. Any violation in these requirements may lead to legal notices, work suspensions, fines,
work stoppages and legal arguments including imprisonment

Learner number: Learner name: Page 11 of 17

 Financial arguments:
Accidents and ill-health cost money. In the event of an accident, direct costs and indirect costs will
occur. These costs may lead to huge losses and can end a business. Direct costs are visible and
measurable. Indirect costs are normally unnoticed and often difficult to quantify. Regarding above
prioritized list, working using electric power is a serious matter and an accident may result in
electrocution, serious injuries and property losses. Working at Height is considered as the number
one killer in construction industry. Falls may result in fatality, permanent disablement and/or serious
injuries. Many people deal with confined spaces without necessary seriousness; results may be
fatality, serious injuries and/or ill-health. In short, a well-established HSE Management System can
protect people, property and keep the business protected from financial burdens.

Justification for action 1

Action Confined Spaces (action category)

Actions: Gas Tests to be conducted and recorded within 30 minutes of entry .If the Permit Issuer
identifies the need for Gas Tests continuously or at regular intervals, this to be noted in the Permit
and followed. After lunch break, Gas Test to be done before entry and recorded. Ventilation using
air movers to be provided for man-hole excavations and trench excavations. When there is no
activity in a Confined Space, keep the access closed and place signs .All Confined Spaces must be
identified with signs saying “Confined Space Entry Permit Required”. Provide emergency rescue tri-
pod or other rescue equipment for trench excavations and train employees to use them during an
emergency. Post Emergency Response Plan close to the confined space.

Above regulations clearly mention about the minimum health and safety standards to be in place
while employees are carrying out their jobs using electric power. Legally, employers must provide
safe place of work, safe plant and equipment, safe system of work, necessary training and ensure the
competency of the supervisor. All necessary personal protective equipment for performing the job
must be provided by the employer free of cost. A violation in this regard may result in notice for
improvement, prohibitions, and fines.

very probable. Severity if harm occurs is scored from 1 to 5 (1-very minor injury and 5-
disabling/fatal injury). From the risk assessment evaluation done for the civil activities in confined
space excavations, main deficiencies are inadequate gas test, inadequate artificial ventilation and
missing signs. Since the excavations are open at top and only depth is more than 1.2 meters, the
likelihood for an accident to occur is rated 3 (possible) and the severity if an accident happens is
rated 3 (lost-time injury). So, the risk rate is 3x3=9.The risk is high as all the areas of the works are
using electricity and the chances are very high for an accident to occur

Justification for action 2

Action Working at Height (action category)

Actions:
Conduct periodic full-body harness inspections, apply colour code and keep records. Remove
damaged items immediately. Include in daily tool-box talks the importance of pre-job FBH
inspections and 100% tie-off. Implement 100% tie-off policy .provide necessary horizontal life-lines
for the workers to hook and move safely at elevated places .Use taglines to control the movement of
structural beams at elevated locations. Ensure no person come under suspended load.
Use tool-lanyards and tool bags to prevent hand tools falling down. Secure all loose material
Working at height is dangerous of all hazards in the workplace.
Falling from height above 20 feet will definitely leads to severe accidents depending on workplace.
There was no guard rail present in the hopper stage is absorbed and workers are working without

Above regulations clearly mention about the minimum health and safety standards to be in place

work, safe plant and equipment, safe system of work and necessary training and supervision to

 very probable. Severity if harm occurs is scored from 1 to 5 (1-very minor injury and 5-
disabling/fatal injury). From the risk assessment evaluation done for the steel erection activity, main
deficiencies are lack of monthly inspections and colour coding of full-body harnesses, absence of
horizontal lifelines, people coming under suspended load, loose material and tools at elevated places.
Hence, the likelihood for an accident to occur is rated 3 (possible) and the severity if an accident
happens is rated 5 (disabling injury/fatality). So, the risk rate is 3x5=15

in the compliance of the workers to the safety measures implemented and thus reducing the risk of
harm

Part 4: Review, communicate and check

Suggested word counts for each section:
 Planned review date or period and reasoning for this: 50 - 100 words
 How the risk assessment findings will be communicated and who needs to know the information: 100 - 150 words
 Follow up on the risk assessment: 100 - 150 words.

Planned review date/period with reasoning Review date is 03-06-2021, in case of changes in system, based on accident records and ill health,
after auditor recommendations need to update the risk assessment. Also consulting with workers
representatives and supervisors management review the risk assessment.

How the risk assessment findings will be On completion of the workplace risk assessment, it has come to my understanding that the top
communicated AND who you need to tell management did consider workplace safety very seriously. Risk assessment findings communicated
through tool box talks, daily supervisor meetings, Need to communicate finance manager and
accounts manager through mail, for allocating resources such as cost of implementing risk
assessment, communicate to senior personnel by sending MEMO and through Mail , Effective
communication about risk assessment to work force to prevent accident in workplace, conducting

 training for risk assessment, There were many good practices that had come to my attention some of
them being having separate pedestrian walkways, adequate number of first aid boxes and personnel
in the workplace, other facilities like toilets and washrooms were well maintained showing their
commitment towards the welfare of workers. Permit to work system and tool box talks were other
positive practices in place

During the planned review, each action item will be checked to see if it is properly closed and the
risk rate is reduced as expected. A review meeting will be conducted with the Management and
analyse those actions closed and those still open if any. For actions not taken, new target dates will
be fixed with additional precautionary measures to be implemented until the action taken
