Definitions Thermosiphon workshop §5 20 th October 2011 L.Zwalinski – PH/DT/PO Hazard The intrinsic property or ability of something (e.g. work materials, equipment, work methods and practices) with the potential to cause harm. Hazardous event Occurrence leading to undesired consequences and arising from the triggering by one (or more) initiator events /causes of one (or more) hazards. Risk The likelihood that the potential for harm will be attained under the conditions of use and/or exposure, and the possible extent of the harm. Effect of uncertainty on objectives. Severity Classification of a failure or undesired event according to the magnitude of its possible consequences. Risk assessment The process of evaluating the risk to the health and safety of workers while at work arising from the circumstances of the occurrence of a hazard at the workplace. Overall process of risk identification, risk analysis and risk evaluation.

Definitions Thermosiphon workshop §5 20 th October 2011 L.Zwalinski – PH/DT/PO Risk assessment process It is based on a systematic examination of all aspects of work that considers: what could cause injury or harm, whether the hazards could be eliminated and, if not, what preventive or protective measures are, or should be, in place to control the risks.

Low [2]Unlikely to occur during task; more than once per year, maximum of once per month. Medium [3]Incident may occur during task; several times per month, maximum of once per week. High [4]Likely to occur several times during task; several times per week SeveritySeverity description Minimal [A] People Slight injuries, no treatment needed. EnvironmentNot applicable. PropertyNot applicable. Low [B] People Injuries or temporary, reversible illnesses not resulting in hospitalization and requiring only minor supportive treatment. Environment Isolated and minor, but measurable, impact on some component(s) of a public resource. PropertyMinor property damage in the facility. Medium [C] People Injuries or temporary, reversible illnesses resulting in hospitalization of variable but limited period of disability. EnvironmentSerious impairment of the functioning of a public resource. PropertyMajor property damage in the facility. High [D] People Death from injury or illness, permanent disability or chronic irreversible illness. EnvironmentPermanent or long term loss of a public resource (drinking water, air, etc.).

Medium [A3, A4, B2, B3, C1, C2, D1] Unacceptable risk: actions are necessary to reduce the risk. High [B4, C3, C4, D2, D3, D4] Unacceptable risk: immediate actions are necessary to reduce the risk promptly. Risk levels Selected risk matrices method. Risk = Probability of occurrence of a hazardous event x Severity of consequences Risk estimation – risk related to the considered hazard is a function of severity of harm and probability of occurrence Risk evaluation determine if risk reduction is required. If risk reduction is required, the appropriate protective measures shall be selected and applied.
