Task 1:

Safety and Health Risk Assessment: The case of Manual Handling

Introduction

Employer in workplaces has general duties of ensuring the safety and health of worker in all

aspects in regards of their work. The purposes of carrying out risk assessments are of enabling

the employers in taking the measures necessary for the safety and health protections of worker.

Each corporation owns manual handling assignments which are probably hazardous and the

manual operation data info-graphic which gives the illustration for the reason for which manual

operation is very essential in the safety of a job.

Manual Operation hazard analysis

Manual Operation is an action taken place physically at almost workstation, and in several

circumstances the action does not cause any issue. Nevertheless, it can only become a prospect

workstation risk if staffs are requested to operate extremely tough packs, which could lead to a

back problem. The kind of manual operation action which is necessary to receive the assessment

gets the definition in Regulation 68 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work, (Common

Application) Regulations 2007: Manual Operation is the involvement of whichever kind of

moving or assisting of whichever pack by one or several staffs, and the inclusion of the action to

lift, put down, push, pull, carry or move a pack, which from its features or poor ergonomic states,

there is the involvement of hazard, especially of back problem, to staffs. Such features or poor

ergonomic states are the hazardous elements being sketched out in Schedule 3 of the 2007

Regulations and own the prospect to lead to hazard.

The following picture gives the illustration of a manual operation action which would be

necessary to get the address to be partially belonged to manual operation hazard analysis

procedure. One feature of the pack which has the involvement of hazard is the drum which

weighs 80kgs. A poor ergonomic state is the physical pain caused by lifting such a pack.

4

A lot of the issues which lead to back injury come from a disc being injured or damaged. To

bend over leads to hardness on the discs, and may as well lead to the disc bulging backward

against the spine. To twist and to bend at the same time cause the hardest pressure on the spine,

particularly on the discs, and are instances of job states which raise the hazard of back issues.

The following picture gives the illustration of several cases of job states which has involvement

to hazard:

Below are the chief requests which have to get the adherence related to manual operation, as

per the The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work, (General Applications) Regulations 2007,

Chapter 4 of Part 2:

To carry out a manual operation hazard analysis of present manual operation jobs

before following a given choice about what manual operation jobs need the avoidance

or reduction.

To organize jobs for the allowance of the using mechanical or different tools for the

avoidance or reduction of the demand for the manual operation of packs by staffs at

the workstation. The risks can get the avoidance or reduction via introducing suitable

5

measurements of the organization for instance the progressed framework of a work

region for the reduction of redundant far bringing gaps; or using suitable tools,

particularly mechanical one.

To provide the education and teaching to employee in charge.

Recommendation

Hazard analysis of manual operation jobs can be done via the conduction of below phases:

Phase 1: This phase gets the involvement of the data collection via the method of the task

performance and the identification of the main phases in the request. This should come from a

group attempt which involves consulting with these who usually perform the task. The staff (or

the person who performs the analysis) should get a complete pragmatic comprehension of the

kind of manual operation works being done.

Phase 2: The collection of every technical detail for the data inclusion about the pack weight,

pack dimension, amount of manual lifts, common data of carriages viewed and the occupation

surrounding.

Phase 3: The identification of the issues or hazard elements. This should get the completion

from doing indication to the Hazard Elements as per the detail in the Health and Safety Authority

published with the title Controlling of Manual operation at the workstation or the Guideline to

the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007: Chapter 4 of

Part 2: Manual Operation.

Phase 4: The identification of the progresses which could be put in position. After the

identification of the hazard elements, it needs to be taken the investigation of the prospect

resolutions. Instances of attempts which should be done comprise of the use of mechanical

assistants, the setting of the job action for the reduction of the demand for carrying far gap or

minimizing the dimension of the pack. Obviously sort out the data for the basis for the decision

of the suitable management tool, figuring out the reason for which different management tools

could not be done and the method for the proposed management tool will prevent or decrease the

6

hazard of accident. It is important that staffs are a critical role of this procedure and in which a

new job action gets the introduction it is necessary for the assessment to make sure it has no

introduction of new risks.

Phase 5: To review the efficiency of the management tools: Efficiency is the level to that the

management tools have prevented or decreased the hazard of accident.

Conclusion

This report has introduced the definition of manual handling, its risk assessment.

Recommendations have been made in order to improve the health and safety management in

regards of manual handling.

Task 2:

Health and Safety Management System: The case study of University Kitchen

Introduction

Health and safety control scheme is the tool by that a corporation management hazard via the

control procedure. It belongs to the complete control scheme those tools the control of the OH&S

hazards in association with the trading of the corporation. This comprises the framework of the

organization, scheming actions, liabilities, performances, progresses, and sources for the

development and achievement, review and maintenance of the corporation’s OH&S regulation.

Key factors of a health and safety control scheme

The six factors of HSG 65 are:

Policy development

Organisational development

Developing techniques oplanning, measuring andreviewing

AAuuddiitt

Policy – An obvious and safety regulation makes the contribution to trade

effectiveness and non-stop progress inside the performance. The regulation should

8

figure out the purposes of the corporation regarding obvious targets, goals, and higher

control participation.

Organising – A good definition of health and safety corporation job covers should

make the identification of health and safety liabilities at most of the degrees of the

corporation. An efficient corporation will be remarked for nice connection, the

promoting of competitiveness, and the compromise of all staffs and a reactive

reporting scheme.

Planning and implementing – An obvious health and safety scheme basing on hazard

analysis and puts and practices operation qualities, goals and progresses via an

efficient health and safety control scheme. The set up should prioritize job covers and

goals for the management or removal of risks and the decrease of hazards.

Measuring performance – This comprises dynamic (from time to time known as

being proactive) and spontaneous controlling of the health and safety control scheme.

It is as well critical for the measurement of the corporation on its way to achieve its

long-term targets and views.

Reviewing performance – The outcomes of controlling and self-governing audits

should make the indication if the goals and purposes requested in the health and safety

farming covers regulation need a change. Variations in the health and safety

surrounding in the corporation, for example injury, should as well enhance an

operation overview. Operation overview should comprise evaluation between inside

operation pointers and the outward operation pointers of resembling corporations with

excellent performances and high qualities.

Auditing – A self-governing and formulated audition of every area of the health and

safety control scheme influences the overview progress. It the audit is efficient

enough, it must possess the assessment of the complying with requested progresses as

well as the operation at the workstation. It will give the identification the bad points in

9

the health and safety regulation and progresses and the identification of the working

covers impractical or inappropriate qualities and goals.

Below consultancy via the Safety, Health and Environment Committee, the College has made

the adoption of a more distinct group of qualities for safety control. This method is indicated to

as HASMAP – Health and Safety Management Profile – and got the development for Higher

Study by the Colleges Safety and Health Association. The case study following HASMAP,

which resembles to the College’s Safety Control Format, is set on the Health and Safety

Executive’s instruction information HSG65 for Healthy success and Safety control which

establishes a complex control scheme for efficient hazard management. In HASMAP, the Health

and Safety control greatest performance qualities of HSG65 get the arrangement into operation

pointers/qualities and divisions will get the expectation for the safety management against such

qualities.

The HASMAP pointers state the 4 pointers which are important to a well organized health and

safety control scheme. They are familiar with assessing the operation of the division regarding its

control of safety and have formulated the organization of this year’s Annual Safety Turnover.

Below are the pointers:

Commitment: The compromise of the senior staff in whichever corporation gets the

recognition as a critical factor of healthiness and safety operation. This is critical regarding the

provision of leading to academics and investigators, other supervisors and employee. It is as well

important that these persons that decide about plan, performing, and spending precedence gets

the recognition of the influence of their deciding on the health and safety of employee and other

people influenced by their trading.

Organising: To organize is viewed as comprising of four groups of planning of inter-relation

and interdependence i.e. management, connection, linking and competitiveness.

Planning and risk control: There should be an efficient progress for identifying, assessing

and controlling hazard. Additionally, a written health and safety scheme should get the

development to assist the progress that establishes targets of measurability in a given duration.

10

This scheme should be grounded on the turnovers of hazard analysis and get the endorsement

from senior supervision by being included in the scheming progress. Written procedure qualities

should get the development for the management of hazard and the specification of whom is

liable for activity when activity has to be done. Such qualities should at least match the smallest

degree of legal requests.

Measuring and reviewing performance: There should be planning for controlling the

control of health and safety in the corporation for the pre-decided schemes and significant

operation qualities. Controlling planning should get the inclusion of active controlling

(investigation grounded) as well as passive controlling (spontaneous inspection). Therefore, there

should be planning for implementing local investigations as a tool of controlling safety

operation. These should get the measurement of the achieving of health and safety targets and

action of performing qualities and qualities at workstation states. These investigations should get

the planning, in a specific frequency, and the record of optimistic as well as pessimistic results.

Additionally, there should be agreements in written form for injury report and researches. This

progress should make sure that instant and core reasons get the identification, line supervisors

are instantly concerned about the research, and senior supervisors are concerned in case of severe

injuries. The governing state should get the written investigation on controlling actions.

A suitable committee or relevant part should make sure that operation is overviewed and the

overview progress should get the inclusion of the health and safety scheme, achieving of targets,

standard of hazard analysis and operation qualities, controlling information and the outcomes of

auditing. It is critical that the results of the overview are performed and utilized for the revision

of the regulation and planning for health and safety control.

Legal requirement

Part 2 of the HSW Act and the Employers’ Health and Safety Rule Declarations (Eclusion)

Regulations 1975 request managers with five or more staffs to make the preparation and

overview regularly basing on a written health and safety rule, altogether with the corporation and

planning needed for the carrying out and bringing the rule and whichever safety job covers

11

amendment of it to the remark of their staffs. Below are the inclusion of the Rule Declaration of

Intent Corporation Planning:

1. Goals and targets: Safety guideline; Scheming and Setting

2. Liabilities of hirer and staffs: The chart of the corporation; Injury report

3. Operation goals and standards: Liabilities; Urgent cases

4. Name of the staff in charge for health and safety: The location of sources with the

inclusion of finance; sub-contractors and visitors.

5. Announced and advertised: safety controlling scheme; Consultancy and connection

with staffs

6. Indentifying of chief risks: Fire preventions

7. Chief hazard analysis and risk management.

8. Operation controlling

Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006: The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 came to

practice on 1st October 2006, which gave the consolidation of former requests in terms of

asbestos. The rules practice Directive 2003/18/EC, on its own a revision to the Asbestos Worker

Protection Directive 83/477/EEC. The rules get the support from two Approved Codes of

Practice, ‘L 127’ and ‘L 143’.

Hirers and different people that own a contractual rule in terms of maintaining and repairing

infrastructure (rather than domestic lodgings) are responsible to investigate:

1. In which asbestos-concerning substances are in the lodging.

2. Its cost of presence, and

3. In which state it is in different situations.

12

Besides, the HSE makes the emphasis that the liability for the management of asbestos-

concerning substances on and inside the places is not a liability for the removal of this asbestos.

To follow the hazard analysis created by asbestos at a lodging place, a control scheme will get

the production and a staff in charge for the implementation, monitoring and reviewing this

scheme. The main targets are to:

1. Make sure data gets transferred to these in need for it – service officer, maintenance

staffs, urgent services, and staffs.

2. The arrangement for data is recognized about particular situations in which asbestos is

seen – for example via using labels, allowance-to-work schemes, and guidelines.

Most of the kinds of asbestos-concerning substances get the covering as per the 2006 Rule

and hirers must make the prevention to expose to asbestos or, in which this is not suitable

pragmatic, ensure it is held as little as suitable pragmatic, and in whichever circumstance under

the management limitation. There is one sole management limitation of 0.1 fibre/ml for four-

hour-time duration for most kinds of asbestos.

Recommendation

It is suggested that the College Kitchen to bend health, safety and welfare rule instantly for

particular site safety requests, most remarkably: site welfare; safety of entrance and exit; height

operation; operation in limited areas and operation close to or above water. Besides, it is

suggested that coaching should get the setting by Property Control to make sure that every

concerning party has get information of the requests.

Conclusion

This task has examined the health and safety management system through the case of College

Kitchen. According to HSG 65, six factors of a health and safety control scheme have been

introduced along with the application the case study. Recommendations have been made for the

College Kitchen to improve the better management system in regards of health and safety

management.
