The key takeaways from the document are that it outlines a risk assessment for installing a fire fighting system. It identifies various hazards from activities like material handling, storage and use of tools. It also describes the risk assessment process and factors to consider when evaluating risks.

The main hazards identified in the risk assessment include traffic movement, manual handling, slips/trips/falls from poor material storage, and use of improper or damaged hand tools.

The process for evaluating risks involves identifying hazards, identifying those affected and how, evaluating the risk level with and without controls, recording significant findings, and reviewing and updating the assessment if needed.

RISK ASSESSMENT & CONTROL GUIDELINES

1. Executing Steps:
1.1. Planning
a) Construction and HSE team must ensure that hazard identification is complete.
b) Construction and HSE team must prioritize the hazard issues, which are of significant in nature. (It means that risks have well
established legal requirements, potentially high risks).
c) Construction and HSE team to prepare the risk assessment plan for the priorities identified hazards for these potential high
risks.

1.2. Risk Assessment


Risk is the probability of an event occurring in a given set of circumstances. The ‘event’ is an exposure to hazard. The hazard is the
potential to cause harm. The risk assessment is the technique of evaluating not just the likelihood of an event occurring, but also the
outcome will be in terms of injury, loss, damage or harm.
1.3. Risk Assessment Process
The process of carrying out a risk assessment should be as follows.
1. Identify the hazards.
2. Identify who might be harmed and how.
3. Evaluate the risk and implement the control measures.
4. Record the significant findings.
5. Review the assessment and update if necessary.

1.4. Examination of the Hazards and Risk Associated


 Competent staff must be used in examining the risk associated with the identified hazard.
 Competent staff should examine following aspect to determine the risk involved:
o Examine the existing control measures in place.
o Identify employees at risk.
o Likelihood of risk.
o Severity
o Risk level and their tolerability.

1.5. Evaluating the risk:


Once the necessary information has been obtained on the hazards encountered by work activities, next stage is to access the risks.
1.5.1. Risk Rating Score
Risk rating score is a combination of two factors.
 The severity of the risk that could injure persons or cause damage to plant.
 The likelihood of the risk that it could happen (Probability).

RISK RATING = LIKELIHOOD X SEVERITY


NOTE: Each activity has to be assessed for the risk value for determining the level of Severity and likelihood are mentioned in the table
below.
