1.0 Purpose
To enable the identification of hazards at work, and the risk assessment of those hazards
are key to a successful occupational health and safety management system. The risk
assessment procedure is the opportunity to be proactive and to identify those situations in
the workplace that might cause illness or injury; and to address these situations before their
consequences happen.
The purpose of this procedure is to define the requirements for Risk Assessments to be
conducted and approved, thereby enabling safety standards within Marafiq to be
improved, periodically reviewed and maintained.
2.0 Scope
The scope of this procedure includes all Marafiq controlled locations & activities requiring
PTW for execution involving employees or / and contractors. Preparation of Risk
Assessment is fully automated through SAP - EHSM module. In case of unavailability of SAP,
Risk Assessment can be prepared manually.

Risk values are generated through multiplying probability (Likelihood) by
the potential consequence (impact). The potential consequence (impact) is
determined by using the URAC (Unified Risk Assessment).

6.0 Procedure
6.1 Risk Assessment
6.1.1 Identify the Job steps and Hazards
Risk Assessments are required for non-routine jobs or routine job for the assessment and
control of occupational health, safety and environmental hazards and risks in order to
provide and maintain a safe and healthy workplace.
For the Specific activity to be assessed, identify the Job steps and Hazards
A multidisciplinary risk assessment team is formed with minimum 3 members including
team leader. The Team Leader will ensure that a method statement is prepared by the
execution team. A method statement should communicate, as a minimum:
• Step by step Job activities
• Anticipated Hazards / risks
• Resources and equipment required / available
• Competencies required
• Emergency procedures
The team then starts identifying the hazards associated with each job step as listed in
Method statement. Hazard identification may be facilitated by using observation, reviewing
records of accidents and incidents, reviewing incidents outside Marafiq, interviewing
individuals and records of audits and inspections.
The Initial risks shall be calculated as per the rating criteria detailed in tables d, e, f & g
above to decide on at Risk Priority Number (RPN) from the table b.
RPN is calculated as ‘RPN=Impact X Likelihood’.
Use table ‘a’, the 5x5 Risk Heat Map to identify the rate for the Impact and likelihood.
While identifying and reviewing the additional control measures consideration shall be given
to the following “Hierarchy of controls” to mitigate /minimize the risk.
• Elimination
• Substitution
• Engineering Controls
• Signage, warning, training or other Administrative controls
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
The Residual risks shall be calculated as per the rating criteria detailed in tables d, e, f & g
above to decide on at Risk Priority Number (RPN) from the table b.
6.1.8 RA Approval:
RA shall be prepared by a multi-disciplinary team consisting of minimum 3 members. The
RA shall be reviewed by Marafiq Coordinating Department and OHS section. The RA shall be
approved by Marafiq Operations Department.
6.1.12 Changes
If the activity, location, substances, types of hazard encountered or equipment change
significantly, it is possible that the risks may not be controlled adequately. A minor change
such as a slight difference in location, sequence or equipment may not have any impact on
the risk. If the change is significant, the work associated with the change should be paused
while the risks are re-assessed and new control measures identified and communicated.
Marafiq OHS section is entitled to demand for the review of the RA.
