What Is…?What Is…?

Hazard:

An act or condition that has the potential to cause harm to people, environment, assets or ability to conduct business.

Hazard Recognition:

Is the ability to identify an act or condition that can cause harm to people, the environment, assets, or ability to conduct business.

Risk:

The chance or probability that people, equipment

or assets will be harmed if exposed to a hazard.

The Hazard Recognition ConceptThe Hazard Recognition Concept

• Key concept/questions:– What hazards exist here? How can I get hurt? What is the risk?

• Look for hazards in a given work situation:– General duties of your job, specific tasks within the job– Workstation or worksite condition– Work method or process

• Ask yourself the 5 W’s:– What? (could happen)– Who? (could get hurt)– Where? (could it happen)– When? (could it happen)– Why? (could it happen)

6

Using the Hazard Recognition ConceptUsing the Hazard Recognition Concept

• Look around your work area for the following:

• People:–Attitudes, stressors, motions, postures, hand/body placement, sequence of job or task steps

• Equipment/Tools/Materials/Chemicals:–How do tools, machines, equipment, materials and chemicals create or act as a source for hazards?

• Environment:–Floors, work surfaces, ground conditions, lighting, noise, congestion

7

Results of Potential HazardsResults of Potential Hazards

•Falls – on the same level or to a lower level

•Struck by – moving object, flying object, falling object

•Striking against – the object is stationary and a person provides force or motion

•Caught – in, on or between stationary or moving objects

•Contact by/with – substance or object nature is hazardous

• Inhalation/ingestion – substance is internalized to be hazardous

•Over-exertion – the need for more force, strength or endurance than a person is capable of

•Ergonomics – physical stress8

The Field Level Hazard Assessment Tool The Field Level Hazard Assessment Tool

The FLRA is an excellent tool for avoiding complacency and teaching new employees. When used correctly, it can assist in keeping the mind focused on the task at hand and point out areas of concern.

The Field Level Risk Assessment is:

• To be completed in the field at the location where the work activities are being conducted.

• To actively involve all personnel at the location in conducting the assessment and determining methods to eliminate and/or control identified hazards together.

10

When Do I Complete an FLRA?When Do I Complete an FLRA?

•Before you begin work.

•If you take a break, you must review the work environment and reassess conditions.

•When a new task is introduced.

•When conditions change; crew size, work scope, weather, process.

An FLRA MUST be completed

AT THE WORK LOCATION

11

Completing a Field Level Hazard AssessmentCompleting a Field Level Hazard Assessment

Step 1 – The first step when completing an FLRA is to fill in the following:

•The date

•Emergency specific information such as: emergency meeting point and emergency assembly area relevant to your work location

•Permit number

•Location of the task

Step 5

• Review and Sign – Review the hazard assessment with everyone involved in the task(s) once completed. When the review is complete have everyone sign the FLRA.

When reviewing, make a point of directing everyone’s attention to the hazards identified so they are clear to where the hazards exist, as well as explain the controls that are relevant to the hazard.

16

Things to Remember…Things to Remember…

• The FLRA is a living document. Revisit and update the document when necessary to ensure that affecting hazards are identified and communicated.

• When visitors enter the work area, make sure they are approached and asked to review and sign onto the FLRA (additionally, you should ask for their FLRA to review and sign as well)

• Specific hazard training can be used as a control on the FLRA

• Ensure the FLRA does NOT leave the work area. If the crew is splitting up, leave the existing FLRA and create a new one at the new work location

17

Things to Remember…Things to Remember…

•Request clarification as necessary to ensure you understand the hazard assessment and FLRA process

•Revisit your FLRA regularly throughout the day and add additional hazards as they become apparent–Changes in weather, ground conditions, etc.

• If the work location changes, a new FLRA must be completed.

•FLRA’s are to be reviewed and signed by your Supervisor
