Part 3: Prioritise 3 actions with justification for the selection
Suggested word counts
Moral, general legal and financial arguments for all actions: 300 to 350 words
For EACH action:
Specific legal arguments: 100 to 150 words
Likelihood AND severity: 75 to 150 words
How effective the action is likely to be in controlling the risk: 100 to 150 words

Moral, general legal and financial arguments for ALL actions

Moral, general legal and financial arguments Moral Arguments:-
The moral argument is to ensure free from any occupational injuries, ill health. Accident, fatality and therefor it
is duty of “M/s SMTB Engineering Private. Limited.” to provide safe machine, safe working culture, safe
welfare facilities, safe working environment to keep the workers safe and health.
Workers and employees are working in the organization to earn money, salary to have good wellbeing and
happy live if SMTB Engineering Private. Limited does not provide the suitable and safe working culture, the
worker can get injuries, ill-health, fatality, etc. which can have a massive impact of their life, family,
dependants, society, etc. which will be not accepted morally by anyone as humanitarian expectations as well.
Legal Arguments:-
As per ILO Convention C155 article 16, as an eemployer “M/s SMTB Engineering Private. Limited.” shall be
required to ensure that, so far as is reasonably practicable, the workplaces, machinery, equipment and
processes under their control are safe and without risk to health as legal responsibility. The breaching of
health and safety will lead to formal enforcement action, prosecution to the organization, imprisonment to the
top management, legal action against the company, workers compensations in the incident of accident. Such
non-compliance of legal responsibilities will cost he financial loss in the terms of legal fees, fines and
penalties, court fees, lawyer’s fees which shall not be recovered from any insurance company.
Financial Argument :-
If SMTB Engineering Pvt. Ltd. Does not control the Accidents occurrences are clearly cause of loss of
income in the sense of productivity, legal fee and penalties given to concern authorities/enforcement
agencies, increase in insurance premium, loss in getting less compensation by insurance agencies viz no
fault base compensation paid more than fault base compensation, insurance companies may hike the
insurance premium as well.
Direct cost: -

Learner number: 0000000 Learner name: Amitabh Bachhan Page 12 of 19

 Medical treatment cost, hospital bills, ambulance cost etc. those are visible cost. Unnecessarily beard by the
company due to accident occurs, legal practitioner cost, fine pay to enforcement agencies etc.
Indirect cost: -
Due to accident occurrence other workers will get more attentive to the injured workers, that have may a
cause of production loss, low morale of the workers, poor brand image, increase in the training cost of new
workers, enforcement agencies may have cancelled the license of particular activities and even entire
business and by that companies market share may get devaluated, to normalised these adverse conditions
there may also require value addition (Marketing expenditure) and seems like iceberg effect.

Justification for action 1

Provision of storing of combustible material in secured place (Hazard category-“fire”)
Action (Taken from column 4 of risk
assessment)

Specific legal arguments As per ILO Code of practice safety and health in construction
3.6.2. Sufficient and suitable storage should be provided for flammable liquids, solids and gases.
As per ILO C167 - Safety and Health in Construction Convention, 1988
Article-26
2. Sufficient and suitable storage shall be provided for flammable liquids, solids and gases.
Consideration of likelihood AND severity Likelihood, I set following categories
Certain: It will happen again and soon;
Likely: It will reoccur, but not as an everyday event;
Possible: It may occur from time to time;
Unlikely: It is not expected to happen again in the foreseeable future;
Rare: so unlikely that it is not expected to happen aga
The likelihood of this hazard is Certain- The risk for fire widespread will be more when sources of ignition,
sparks make the fire with cotton and oils stored nearby and rapid fire will get spread may lead to fire and
explosion and fire disaster at the workplace.
Severity, I set following categories:
Minimal: No injury or damage occurred
Minor: Injury requiring first-aid and/or slight damage caused to plant/equipment/buildings

Learner number: 0000000 Learner name: Amitabh Bachhan Page 13 of 19

 Major: Injury requiring hospital treatment/stay and/or significant damage caused to plant/equipment/buildings
Catastrophic: Death and/or irreparable damage to plant/equipment/buildings.
I set the severity of this hazard is catastrophic. The fire spread rapidly may cause fatality, severe burn
injuries, and other painful suffering.

 types of injury or ill health

 number of workers at risk Types of injuries and ill-health-
 how often the activity is carried out
Fatality, severe personal burn injuries, suffocation, damage of plant machinery, etc.
 how widespread the risk is
Numbers of workers at Risk:-
Approximately 8 workers were engaged and they are risk with the fire.
how often the activity is carried out:-
This is a regular activity carried out 6 to 7 hours every day during 6 working days of the shift.
How widespread the risk is:-
The risk is widely spread as sheet metal cutting, hot work is a core activity in the construction site.
How effective the action is likely to be in
 Providing the secured storage area for combustible and flammable materials will make the safer
controlling the risk. This should include:
workplace and will reduce the chance of sparks, naked flame and work can be performed safely.
 the intended impact of the action;  I am giving time scale for two weeks to take approval from management with justification of secured
 justification for the timescale that you storage area and shifting of the materials at safe location of secured storage facility.
indicated in your risk assessment;  It will not fully control the risk but it will minimize the risk of fire with low likelihood, however, additional
and control action should be considered to minimize the severity of the fire risk as well.
 whether you think the action will fully
control the risk

assessment)

Specific legal arguments As Per ILO convention Number C167, Article-26

1. All electrical equipment and installations shall be constructed, installed and maintained by a competent
person, and so used as to guard against danger.
2. Before construction is commenced and during the progress thereof adequate steps shall be taken to
ascertain the presence of and to guard against danger to workers from any live electrical cable or apparatus
which is under, over or on the site.
As per ILO Code of practice safety and health in construction
15.1.7. The power supply to all electrical equipment should be provided with means of cutting off current from
all conductors in an emergency
Consideration of likelihood AND severity Likelihood,
 types of injury or ill health I set same categories as given in Justification-1
 number of workers at risk
The likelihood of this hazard is certain. Because the poor insulated cable of the Pencil grinder can be high risk
 how often the activity is carried out
for the workers when using pencil grinder, because the current can leak and that can be a cause of electrical
 how widespread the risk is
short circuit and worker will be under the risk of electrocution.
Severity,

Severity,
I set same categories as given in Justification-1
Severity rating for the hazard being understood and has been set as “Major” because inhalation of zink rich
dust causes throat irritation, dry cough occupational asthma; breathing in dust over a prolonged period could
also cause occupation cancers these worker will be requiring hospital treatment.
Types of injuries and ill-health:-

 Throat irritation, dry cough occupational asthma; breathing in dust over a prolonged period could also cause
occupation cancers these worker will be requiring hospital treatment.
Numbers of workers at Risk:-
Approximately 12 workers were under the risk of the hazardous substances.
How often the activity is carried out :-
This is a regular activity carried out 6 to 7 hours every day during 6 working days of the shift.
How widespread the risk is:-
The risk is widely spread as process dust and other dust will be spread in the air at the workplace as
contaminated air dust as this is common in the site of construction.
How effective the action is likely to be in
 The intended impact of the action by using the inbuilt dust extraction with the machine while surface
controlling the risk. This should include:
preparation with grinding machine will extract the dust automatically and their will be less air

Part 4: Review, communicate and check

Suggested word counts for each section:
 Planned review date or period and reasoning for this: 50 - 100 words
 How the risk assessment findings will be communicated and who needs to know the information: 100 - 150 words
 Follow up on the risk assessment: 100 - 150 words.

Planned review date/period with reasoning The company has HSE Policy states that every 12 months the risk assessment to be reviewed so I am going
to set the 12 months times 11th May 2024.
However in the following incidents the risk assessment can be reviewed when the management seek to
reviewed prior to above date.
1. Notice received from enforcement authority.
2. If any accident taken in the organisation.
3. If any changes in the working shift pattern
4. If any changes in the management taken in place.

How the risk assessment findings will be I will arrange the meeting with workshop manager to go through and agree to actions/measures in the risk

 communicated AND who you need to tell assessment and when I provided summaries of the hazards identified and findings of the risk assessment
with desired actions that are need to be taken to ensure the safety and health of the workers.

The summary of the risk assessment shall be sent to everyone through email through respective official email
IDs.

The findings of the risk assessment will be available in the next toolbox talk. I will also instruct the workers on
actions that are to be taken.

Summary of the risk assessment and actions that are to be taken will be put of on notice board so that all
workers have access to it.

How you will follow up on the risk I will set the daily reminder for 10 days before the action is due to be completed. I will speak to the
assessment to check that the actions have responsible person for each of the actions to find out the progress against each action.
been carried out
Action that are very late to complete will be referred to the workshop manager if needed I will request financial
manager to allocate additional resources to complete the actions whenever it may be required.

I will involve the every responsible person to complete the action also I will start the counselling of the
supervisor hence we get the idea about the activities were taken or not.

In some cases I will add actions in the checklist to cross-check or follow up to get the information about the
activity.
If any action getting more delay for more than three months, I will involve top management to take the
necessary steps forward in the completion of the action of the risk assessment.
