Hazard Identification

Hazards can be divided into three


main groups,
§ health hazards,
§ safety hazards, and
§ environmental hazards.
Health Hazard
Any agent that can cause illness.
§ serious and immediate (acute) affects,
§ long-term (chronic) effects
§ All or part of the body may be
affected.
§ occupational illness may not
recognize the symptoms
immediately.
Health Hazard
§ noise-induced hearing loss is often difficult for the
affected individual to detect until it is well advanced.
§ chemicals (such as battery acid and solvents),
§ biological hazards (such as bacteria, viruses, dusts and
molds),
§ physical agents (energy sources strong enough to harm
the body, such as electric currents, heat, light, vibration,
noise and radiation) and work design (ergonomic)
hazards.
Safety Hazard
Any force strong enough to cause injury, or damage to
property.
An injury caused by a safety hazard is usually obvious.

For example,
a worker may be badly cut.
Safety hazards cause harm when workplace controls are
not adequate.
Safety Hazard
Some examples of safety hazards
§ slipping/tripping hazards (such as wires run across floors);
§ fire hazards (from flammable materials);
§ moving parts of machinery, tools and equipment (such as pinch
and nip points);
§ work at height (such as work done on scaffolds);
§ ejection of material (such as from molding);
§ pressure systems (such as steam boilers and pipes);
§ vehicles (such as forklifts and trucks);
§ lifting and other manual handling operations.
Environmental Hazard
A release to the environment that may cause harm or
deleterious effects.
An environmental release may not be obvious.
For example,
a worker who drains a glycol system and releases the liquid
to a storm sewer may not be aware, of the effect on the
environment. Environmental hazards cause harm when
controls and work procedures are not followed.
Types of hazards
§ Some items are hazardous by nature
§ while others only become hazardous if used
inappropriately or carelessly.
§ Often, accidents don’t just happen – they are a result
of workers neglecting or ignoring hazardous situations.
Two basic categories of hazard
Acute hazards are those that have an obvious and
immediate impact
§ Example is a slippery floor - immediate danger of someone
slipping and being injured.

Chronic hazards have a more hidden, cumulative, long-


term impact.
§ Example, workplace bullying, where the long-term impact
may result in stress or other psychological injury
Hazards Classification
Physical
Chemical
Biological
Ergonomic
Psychosocial
Physical Hazards
Physical Hazards are unsafe working conditions that that
can cause injury, illness, and death. Physical hazards are
the most common workplace hazards.
§ Radiation: including ionizing, non-ionizing
(EMF’s, microwaves, radio waves, etc.)
§ High exposure to sunlight/ultraviolet rays
§ Temperature extremes – hot and cold
§ Constant loud noise
Physical Hazards
§ Anything that can cause spills or trips such as cords
running across the floor or ice
§ Anything that can cause falls such as working from heights,
including ladders, scaffolds, roofs, or any raised work area
§ Unguarded machinery and moving machinery parts that a
worker can accidentally touch
§ Electrical hazards like frayed cords, missing ground pins,
improper wiring
§ Confined spaces
Chemical Hazards
Chemical Hazards
Are present when a worker is exposed to any chemical
preparation in the workplace in any form (solid, liquid or
gas).
Some are safer than others, but to some workers who are
more sensitive to chemicals, even common solutions can
cause illness, skin irritation, or breathing problems.
Chemical Hazards
§ Liquids like cleaning products, paints, acids, solvents
– if chemicals are in an unlabeled container!
§ Vapours and fumes that come from welding or
exposure to solvents
§ Gases like acetylene, propane, carbon monoxide
and helium
§ Flammable materials like gasoline, solvents, and
explosive chemicals
§ Pesticides
Biological Hazards
Biological Hazards
include exposure to harm or disease associated with
working with animals, people, or infectious plant
materials.
Workplaces with these kinds of hazards include, but are
not limited to, work in schools, day care facilities, colleges
and universities, hospitals, laboratories, emergency
response, nursing homes, or various outdoor occupations.
Biological Hazards
§ Blood and other body fluids
§ Fungi / mold
§ Bacteria and viruses
§ Plants
§ Insect Bites
§ Animal and bird droppings
Ergonomic Hazards
Ergonomic Hazards
Occur when the type of work, body positions, and working
conditions put a strain on your body.
They are the hardest to spot since you don’t always
immediately notice the strain on your body or the harm
that these hazards pose.
Short-term exposure may result in “sore muscles” the next
day or in the days following the exposure, but long-term
exposure can result serious long-term illness.
Ergonomic Hazards
§ Improperly adjusted workstations and chairs
§ Frequent lifting
§ Poor posture
§ Awkward movements, especially if they are repetitive
§ Having to use too much force, especially if you have
to do it frequently
§ Vibration
Psychosocial Hazards
Psychosocial Hazards:
Hazards or stressors that cause stress (short-term effects)
and strain (long-term effects).

These are hazards associated with workplace issues such


as workload, lack of control and/or respect, etc.
Psychosocial Hazards
§ Workload demands
§ Workplace violence
§ The intensity and/or pace
§ Respect (or lack thereof)
§ Flexibility
§ Control or say about things
§ Social support or relations
§ Sexual harassment

Analyze and estimate risk
§ Risk is the determination of likelihood and
severity of the credible accident/event sequences
in order to determine magnitude and to priorities
identified hazards.
§ It can be done by
§ qualitative,
§ quantitative or
§ semi quantitative method.
Analyze and estimate risk
Qualitative analysis
§ uses words to describe the magnitude of potential
severity and the likelihood that those severity will occur.
§ These scales can be adapted or adjusted to suit the
circumstances and different descriptions may be used
for different risks.
§ This method uses expert knowledge and experience to
determine likelihood and severity category.

Analyze and estimate risk
Quantitative analysis
§ uses numerical values from scientific research.
§ Severity may be determined by modeling the outcomes
from experimental studies or past data.
§ Severity may be expressed in terms of monetary,
technical or human impact criteria, or any of the other
criteria.
§ Occupational hygiene, ergonomics, noise etc.
Quantitative Risk
Matrix
Analyze and estimate risk
Semi-quantitative analysis
§ qualitative scales such as described before are given
values.
§ The objective is to produce a more expanded ranking
scales than is usually achieved in qualitative analysis,
§ not to suggest realistic values for risk such as is
attempted in quantitative analysis.
Likelihood of an occurrence
You may ask the question
§ “How many times has this event happened in the
past?”
Assessing likelihood is based
§ worker experience,
§ analysis or
§ measurement.
Likelihood of an occurrence

Likelihood levels range


from “most likely” to “inconceivable.”
Example,
A small spill of bleach from a container when filling a
spray bottle is most likely to occur during every shift.
Alternatively, a leak of diesel fuel from a secure holding
tank may be inconceivable.

Conceivable Might be occur at sometime in future 3

Remote Has not been known to occur after many years 2

Inconceivable Is practically impossible and has never occurred 1


Severity of hazard
§ Severity can be divided into five categories.
§ Severity are based upon an increasing level of
severity to
§ an individual’s safety & health,
§ the environment, or
§ to property.
Severity of hazard (Table B)
SEVERITY (S) EXAMPLE RATING
Numerous fatalities, irrecoverable property
Catastrophic 5

Approximately one single fatality major
Fatal 4
property damage if hazard is realized
Serious Non-fatal injury, permanent disability 3

Minor Disabling but not permanent injury 2


Minor abrasions, bruises, cuts, first aid type
Negligible 1
injury
Risk Assessment
Risk analysis that uses
likelihood and severity in qualitative method, presenting
result in a risk matrix is a very effective way of
communicating the risk throughout a workplace.
Risk can be calculated using the following formula:
Risk = L x S
L = Likelihood S = Severity
An example of risk matrix (Table C)

High Medium Low


Prioritize Necessary Actions (Table D)
RISK DESCRIPTION ACTION
A HIGH risk requires immediate action to control the hazard as
detailed in the hierarchy of control. Actions taken must be
15 - 25 HIGH
documented on the risk assessment form including date for
completion.
A MEDIUM risk requires a planned approach to controlling the
hazard and applies temporary measure if required. Actions
5 - 12 MEDIUM
taken must be documented on the risk assessment form
including date for completion.
A risk identified as LOW may be considered as acceptable and
further reduction may not be necessary. However, if the risk can
1-4 LOW
be resolved quickly and efficiently, control measures should be
implemented and recorded.
Risk Control
Definition:
Control is the elimination or inactivation of a hazard in a
manner such that the hazard does not pose a risk to
workers at workplace.
§ Hazards should be controlled at their source
§ The closer a control to the source of the hazard is the
better.
§ This method often referred to Engineering controls.

Effective
Risk Control
§ If not possible, hazards can often be controlled along
the path to the worker, between the source and the
worker.
§ This method often referred to
Administrative controls.
§ If not possible, hazards must be controlled at
the level of the worker through the use of
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE),
although this is the least desirable control.
Selecting a suitable control
Selecting a control often involves
§ evaluating & selecting short and long term controls;
§ implementing short-term measures until permanent
controls can be put in place; and
§ implementing long term controls when reasonably
practicable.
Example, When a noise hazard is identified.
Short-term controls require workers to use hearing protection.
Long term controls might remove or isolate the noise source
Types of Control
§ At the source of the hazard
§ Engineering control
§ Administrative controls
§ Personal protective equipment
At the source of the hazard

Elimination
Getting rid of a hazardous job, tool, process, machine or
substance is perhaps the best way of protecting workers.

Example, a salvage firm might decide to stop buying and


cutting up scrapped bulk fuel tanks due to explosion
hazards.
At the source of the hazard
Substitution
Sometimes doing the same work in a less hazardous way is
possible.

Example, a hazardous chemical can be replaced with a less


hazardous one. Controls must protect workers from any
new hazards that are created.
Engineering control
Redesign
Jobs & processes can be reworked to make them safer.
Example, containers can be made easier to hold & lift.

Isolation
hazard can be isolated, contained or otherwise kept away
from workers.
Example, an insulated and air-conditioned control room
can protect operators from a toxic chemical.
Engineering control
Automation
Dangerous processes can be automated or mechanized
Example, computer-controlled robots can handle spot
welding operations in car plants.

Barriers
A hazard can be blocked before it reaches workers.
Example, special curtains can prevent eye injuries from
welding arc radiation.
Engineering control
Absorption
Baffles can block or absorb noise. Lockout systems can
isolate energy sources during repair and maintenance.

Dilution
Some hazards can be diluted or dissipated.
Example, ventilation systems can dilute toxic gasses
before they reach operators.
Administrative controls
Safe work procedures
Workers can be required to use & follow standardized
safety practices. Work procedures must be periodically
reviewed with workers and updated.

Supervision and training


Initial training on safe work procedures and refresher
training should be offered. Appropriate supervision to
assist workers.
Administrative controls
Job rotations
reduce the time that workers are exposed to a hazard.
Example, workers can be rotated through jobs requiring
repetitive tendon and muscle movements.

Housekeeping, repair & maintenance programs


Housekeeping includes cleaning, waste disposal and spill
clean up. Its will less likely to cause injury if they are kept
clean and well maintained.
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
§ PPE and clothing is used when other controls
measures are not feasible and where additional
protection is needed.

§ Workers must be trained to use and maintain


equipment properly.

§ The employer and workers must understand


the limitations of the PPE.
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
§ The employer is expected to require workers
to use their equipment whenever it is
needed.

§ Care must be taken to ensure that


equipment is working properly.

§ Otherwise, PPE may endanger a workers


health by providing an illusion of protection.

Monitoring controls
§ The effectiveness of controls must be checked
regularly.
§ Evaluate and monitor hazard controls during
inspections, routine maintenance, and other activities.
§ Document control activities to track their
effectiveness, if necessary re-evaluate hazards and
implement new control measures.
Monitoring controls
Ask the following questions
a. have the controls solved the problem?
b. is any risk to workers posed by the controls
contained?
c. are all new hazards being identified?
d. are significant, new hazards appropriately
controlled?
e. are accident reports being analyzed?
f. are any other measures required?
Documenting HIRARC
Responsibility and accountability
§ Individual or team who identified the hazard must
ensure proper communication of the hazard to the
appropriate workplace authority (manager,
department head, or designated person)
§ Each HIRARC must be fully documented. The HIRARC
form must be completed by the HIRARC team and
signed by the in charge personnel
Documenting HIRARC
Responsibility and accountability
§ The appropriate authority is responsible for ensuring
that effective controls are applied and communicating
the results back to the originator.
§ Employer must endorse and approve the HIRARC
results.
§ Employer must communicate all HIRARC to employees,
monitor the follow up action and keep the records.

Consultation
§ If practicable, there must be consultation with the
relevant health and safety representative when
identifying, assessing and controlling risks.

§ Consulting directly with employees and drawing on


their experience and knowledge is more effective
inreducing risk.
Training
§ Information, instruction and training, provide
employees with the skills and knowledge to perform
their work in a manner that is safe and without risks to
health. It enables them to
a. follow health and safety procedures;
b. use risk controls set in place for their protection; and
c. have an appreciation of the nature of the hazar
Training
Managers, Supervisors, Health and Safety Representatives
and others who may be required

c. consult with the Health and Safety Representative.
Scenario 1: Wood panel cutting process

A team of two workers operates a cross-cut saw machine.


Their work includes loading wood panel onto the machine,
cutting the wood and unloading the cut wood. They also
need to repair and maintain the machine regularly as well
as to change the blades of the machine.

Caution: This example may not be applicable to similar


work in your workplace.
