1. Health and Safety Seminars 2014 RISK ASSESSMENT VS HAZARDS & EFFECTS ANALYSIS

2. The meaning of ……………. RISK "risk" means the probability that injury or damage will occur (OHS Act) Risk = Severity X Likelihood (of consequences) HAZARDS and EFFECTS (Consequences) "hazard" means a source of or exposure to danger (OHS Act) A Hazard can be anything that has the potential to cause harm to people, the environment, property, plant, products, reputation, etc. A Consequence can be defined as an unwanted event (or events) resulting from the “release “ of a Hazard.

3. Legal duties GENERAL DUTIES …….. Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13 SPECIFIC DUTIES ……… ( Found in various regulations)  Construction Regulations embody most explicit duties Assessments must be performed by a “competent person” appointed in writing [CR 9.1] Project baseline risk assessment [CR 5.1(a)] HAZID [CR 9.1(a)] Hazard analysis and evaluation based on a documented method [CR 9.1(b)] i.e. Hazards and Effects Management Process (HEMP) Documented plan including applicable SWP [CR 9.1 & 9.1.(c)] Monitoring plan [CR 9.1(d)] Review plan [CR 9.1(e) Ergonomic hazards must be included [CR 9.2]

4. Assessment types  Baseline Risk Assessment [BRA]  Issue based (Detailed - hazard/process/activity/task specific)  Continuous (MOC/Inspections/audits/task observations/occupational hygiene measurements, etc)  Specialised (HAZOP/FMEA/HRA/FTA, etc.)

5. Baseline Risk Assessment Objectives and purpose  Establish a risk profile to prioritise action programmes for issue-based hazards and effects analysis  Focus is on the identification of hazards and risk rating that applies to the whole organisation or project  Foundation for Client H&S Specifications in construction activities  Must be sufficiently comprehensive to determine/demonstrate the need for further detailed hazards and effects analysis
