Health and Safety Foundations

As well as a legislative requirement, Task Risk Assessment is fundamental to reducing the likelihood of accidents and incidents at work. It is a core component of establishing a Safe System of Work.

WHY TRIC CARD SYSTEM ?

Spot the hazards & risks and

identify controls

Hazards? Risks? Controls?

Hazards? Risks? Controls?

Job planning & Risk assessment Work & Safe work

• We always do something and it means we have to contact with:

• people, environment, asset and reputation

• All above mentioned objects of contact may create hazards if we deal with them in unsafe manner.

• So, what do we need to do to prevent the hazards or to control them?

• Help us to promote safety culture!

Hazard means?

• Anything with the potential to cause harm

• Harm can include:• ill-health and injury to

people• damage to assets • damage to the environment• reputation damage Other hazards, such as:

• Driving• Manual handling• Electricity• Display screen equipment• Slips, trips & falls• Cleaning chemicals• Maintenance hazards

POTENTIALInstallation hazards, such as:• Equipment handling• Moving machinery• High pressure testing• Unsafe methods of work,• Interaction between

incompatible work• Uncontrolled change

Risk means?

• The likelihood that somebody or something will be harmed by a hazardous event

• The size of a risk is an estimate based on a combination of the likelihood and consequences of a hazardous event occurring.

Some things that turn hazards

into risks of severe incidents:

• Human error

• Working with defective equipment

• Equipment failure

• Misuse of equipment

• Confined space working

Some things that can increase

the size of the risks:

•Excessive speed

•Height above ground

•Adverse weather

•Lack of competent people

•Unrealistic timescale

LIKELIHOODSome risks of incident or effect:

•Vehicle collisions

•Contact with electricity

•Working with poor ergonomics

•Being struck by a dropped object

•Slipping on oily surface

•Exposure to toxic fumes

ALARP means?

If we can’t eliminate the risk we must reduce it to:

As

Low

As

Reasonably

Practicable

Job planning & Risk assessment

• How to plan our job:• Job Planning• Discussion of the task with the crew• Competence of the crew (training &

experience) • Identification of responsibilities• Adequate Supervision

Reviewed by:

Planning the job is critical and should be done well in advance with sufficient lead time Keys:1. Time2. Requirements

(people, equipment and tools )

3. Controls in place 4. TBT5. RISK review

Only after this the job can start

Most of common signs within operation

It’s important to record the title and number/version of the procedure and other documents that where use for the job as easy reference in future

This Section about giving clear summery to job that you intend to perform, and every one that look to this area must understand clear what are you going to do …

Tasks, require break the above job in simple steps clear and logic as well should not be too many and not very short as well Remember, returning the site to it’s original situation may required to complete the job

Selecting the steps

A balanced level of detail for the TRA:Step 1 position car, set brakes block

wheels

Step 2 remove spare wheel and position nearby

Step 3 check and position car jack

Step 4 remove hub cap and break free nuts

Step 5 jack up car

Step 6 remove wheel nuts

Step 7 remove wheel

Step 8 locate spare wheel

Step 9 tighten wheel nuts

Step 10 jack down car

Step 11 final tighten wheel nuts

Step 12 replace hub cap

Step 13 store jack and wheel

Too fine a level of detail:Step 1 park car

Step 2 get out of car

Step 3 move to boot of car

Step 4 open boot of car

Step 5 etc

Too coarse a level of detail:

Step 1 remove wheel

Step 2 put on spare

The TRA team must judge what is the appropriate level of detail and these examples should help to judge this:

• Begin with the action - e.g. install, final tighten• End with what’s acted on - e.g. pump,

wheel• Do not identify any hazards or

precautions

• State what must be done - not how it will be done or who will do it

The description should follow some simple rules:

•For each step you identify in the tasks, you need to identify the associated hazards clearly, •failure in this part may completely ruin the TRIC

PRINCIPLE

Making the workplace safe is better than protecting the

worker in a dangerous one

Some risk controls aremore effective than others

Does the task need to be done?

e.g. eliminate manual handling by doing the job mechanically

Can something else be used to reduce the risk?

e.g. water-based instead of solvent-based paint

Can equipment be used to reduce the risk?e.g. Local Exhaust Ventilation to

remove fumes

Can distance/barriers/guards be used to prevent personnel exposure to hazard? e.g. distance barriers around high pressure testing

Can the number of personnel exposed to the risk and/or the time they are exposed be reduced?

Can suitable and sufficient PPE appropriate for the task be used?

Can procedures with training be used to ensure a safe system of work is followed to reduce the risk?

CONTROLMEASURES

Who is responsible and for what ?

Who is responsible to confirm controls in place ?

All about Key Learning that are gain during the job, need to capture here and sharing with others during site safety meeting

When suppose to use this section ?

Recording the number will help in future reference, audit, and documentation for required by the law

Reviewed by: Other responsible people should review, and challenge the TRIC on site, and then approve it

This section to be use in case of any change in hazards identified before, or a new one appear due to change …

SKILLS FOR TRIC • Typically:

• Supervisor led team - 3-4 people• Outside expertise not necessary –

unless tasks complex/specialised• 1 person can assess simple tasks

• Members need to:• know enough about the activities

to judge the risks and controls• understand the procedures and

industry standards

TRIC teams should include people who:

Are responsible for the task

Are competent in the TRIC process

Understand the task & its hazards

Know the location & its hazards

Will be involved in doing the task

A fresh pair of eyes can help:

What is the purpose of the activity?What are the critical tasks?What are characteristics of the plant, substances & systems involved?What about any simultaneous operations? Could they have a significant impact on the activity?

Where is the activity to be done? Could it be done in a safer location – e.g. in a workshop?

When is the activity to be done? Could it be done at a different time – e.g. during shutdown?

The team needs to consider these questions:

• Visit the worksite• Review worksite conditions &

layout of area• Observe activity being done if

possible

Who is going to carry out the activity? Are they capable / skilled enough?

TRIC team recommendation/approval

• Finally, ask & act on these questions:• Have all the necessary control measures been

fully/effectively identified?• Are any additional training/competencies required to

complete the activity?• Is the risk effectively controlled?

Before recommending that the work should go ahead, the team should agree the risk is acceptable & ALARP

Completing the assessment

• Success depends on the awareness of work team• Toolbox Talks should:

• communicate the hazards, controls & individual responsibilities

• involve the whole work team in identifying any additional hazards & controls – especially those specific to the site and the local conditions; and so

• complete the risk assessment

• The Toolbox talk Risk Identification Card (TRIC) can be used to record the “on the day” risk assessment

RMADAN Supervisors Guidance

Start discussing in toolbox talks/HSE meetings prior and during Ramadan on: FatigueGive sleep Management advise to staff.Refresh fatigue awareness so staff will identify symptomsStaying up late at night during Ramadan will result insufficient sleep and accumulating sleep debt.

Continue these meetings throughout Ramadan and ask questions:1. How were you yesterday?2. How do you feel today?3. Any incidents you had or witnessed?4. Did you intervene any unsafe acts/condition?

• Incidents tend to increase towards the end of Ramadan. • A toolbox meeting after the first half of Ramadan is important.• Face to face communications and Management participation is

valuable to increase awareness.
