Accessing Acceptable Risk
Probability
Unlikely – not likely to occur
Likely – may occur
Very likely –near certain to occur
Severity
Marginal – Minor Injury or First Aid
Critical – Injury or Lost Time Injury
Catastrophic – Death or Permanent Disability

Developing a Safe Solution or Plan
Can I eliminate the hazard?
Can I minimize the risks?
Do I need help?
Is there a better time to do the work?
Do others need to be informed?
What specific PPE and tools are required?
What lock out or permit is needed?
Is there a JSA or reliable method/procedure I need to review?

22. What is the Safe Solution?
4/6/2017
What is the Safe Solution?
Decide if someone could be immediately injured.
If it is an emergency (Risk Code greater than 1)
Talk to your supervisor and reach agreement on how to get the issue fixed as quickly as possible.
If it is NOT an emergency ….

Not Sure of a Safe Process to Use?
If the risk is beyond “Marginal” in severity and “Likely” or “Unlikely” to occur I need to contact my supervisor and/or the safety department
Share my concerns – discuss at post-outage meetings, team meetings, etc.
Act safely, Follow your solution/plan

27. Review: Before and After
4/6/2017
Review: Before and After
Prior to performing a task yourself
Recognize - What is involved in this job that can hurt me or my co-workers?
Reduce - How can I/we keep from being hurt while doing this job?
After performing a task ask each other
What was your assessment of the situation?
What risks you identified?
What were the identified controls?
What can be shared with others?
Share learnings at post outage meetings, team meetings, etc.
