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).
Important note: You must refer to the document ‘Unit IG2: risk assessment – Guidance and information for learners and Learning Partners’ while
completing all parts of this assessment. Your Learning Partner should provide you with a copy, but it can also be downloaded from the relevant
resources section for this qualification on the NEBOSH website.
Part 1: Background
Employees work in two shifts from 9:00am to 05:00 pm, 05:00 pm to 01:00 am and in
each shift 800 workers work there. Mostly workers are of mature ages. Plant is closed on
Friday.
Description of the area to be included in the The risk assessment will cover fabricating area, manufacturing section, cutting area,
risk assessment welding unit and designing section and electrical control room.

Legal:
Unique Engineering Works Company could face regulatory compliance measures such as
prohibition (Stopping all work on a specific activity) or improvement notices relating to these
activities. If these activities could not be carried out properly, the financial burden on the
company would be immense, and even these activities could limit their certification
achievement in all fields and local Government can also take an action against delay of
work. The government of Pakistan imposes various obligations on employers, including the
requirement that working machines, working practises, and work environments be suitable
to the nature of the work, that all work equipment be inspected and maintained, and that all
high-risk activities be regulated by a permit-to-work system. Under the International Labour
Organization's (ILO) Safety and Health Convention, a firm is legally required to safeguard
Financial:
If a major accident happens at work, the company may suffer significant financial losses.
These financial implications may be categorised into these groups. Cost associated with
injured employee (sick pay, replacement worker allowance, medical costs, lost working
time), Costs associated with new worker recruitment, Costs related to civil lawsuits, The
cost associated with a rise in insurance premiums, The expense of getting regulatory
authority. When an accident or unwelcome occurrence occurs, it often damages the
organization's property. Beside it the reputation of the company will be down and the result
they loss their client. Furthermore, the organisation must bear the losses of his estate. A
large sum would be required to rebuild and repair damaged buildings, as well as to install
machinery.
There are ten workers working in this area and are at risk.
Cutting and grinding of bulky machinery for constructing steel structure produce high
exposure of noise. Workers work in this area in two shifts.
The risk is present in the Cutting and grinding and affect workers only that are working in
this section.

Driver reversing a FLT in a storage and stacking area with a high load and no revering
alarm will result in the FLT overturning due to the high load and no revering alarm, causing
a pedestrian to be hit by the FLT. Workers work in this area in two shifts.
The risk is present in the storage and stacking area and affects workers only that are
working in this area.

The action will 80% control the risk of collide with workers and other vehicles while

suitable controls can help to provide the fully control of the risk.
The risk is present in the machinery section and affects workers only that are working with
machines.
How effective the action is likely to be in Fixed and adjustable guards could be mounted on each machine to limit the number of

mechanical engineer will make an assessment of layout the machinery and hire a
competent maintenance member for this to be completed so this will take time.
This action will 70% control the risk of serious injuries while fixed and adjustable guard will
be installed on the cutting machine and this action will also have decreed the severity level.
Action with suitable controls can help to provide the fully control of the risk.
