Hazard is anything that has potential to cause injury or illness (employee, contractors, visitors

or the neighboring public) or damage to plant or property.

A hazard can be related to a physical state or a work practice or procedure.

A hazard can be introduced when implementing changers to existing arrangements.

Hazard identification is the prose's of identifying all situations or events that could give rise to

the potential for injury, illness or damage to plant or property

Risk means the likelihood of injury, illness or damage to plant or property arising from exposure

to any hazard.

Risk assessment is the process of determining the likelihood of an injury, illness or damage to

plant or property happening.

Hazard control is process of implementing measures to reduce the risks associated with a

hazard. The control process must follow the control hierarchy, in order, as prescribed in health

&safety legislation. It is always important that any control measure does not introduce new

hazards, and that ongoing effectiveness of the control is monitored.

The Hierarchy of Control is:

Elimination of the hazard

Substitution example of the equipment or substance

Isolation, example distance or enclosure.

Engineering example guarding.

Administrative controls example supervision, training, rotation.

Personal protective equipment.

Procedure

The attached flow chart outlines the process to be followed.

Potential hazards should be notified site manager

Direct report from employees or employee health and safety representative.

Hazard report form

Industry information.

Health and safety Committee

Incident reports

Hazard Inspection Reports.

Any proposal the introduction of new equipment or processes or the modification of equipment

or processes must be accompanied by hazard identification and risk assessment.

Once a potential hazard has been reported or changes proposed, the relevant manager will

nominate employees to from the risk assessment team without delay. The risk assessment team

should consist of the relevant Health & Safety manager / safety Officer. Other persons with

specialist skills may be included. Risk Assessment Team members must be trained to perform

the task.

THE Risk Assessment Team should consult with relevant employees when conducting the

hazard identification and risk assessment. The Risk assessment team should determine whether

a hazard exists, and if so should assess the risk. Their report (including the recommended


control option) should be forwarded to the relevant manager request within one week of the

original request. The manager is to file the report in the Hazard Register.

The Project manager will implement control measures where appropriate, based on the

hierarchy of control.

The Project manager will forward the full Risk assessment Team report to review the control

within one week of their instruction to ensure that are appropriate.

The risk Assessment Team recommends changes to control where appropriate.

The Project manager implements any modifications to the control.

The Project manager forwards a full Hazard Control report

The Project manager includes a review of the controls in the regular hazard inspections.
