Classify work activities

Work activity is classified in compliance with their similarity, such as –
i. Geographical or physical areas within/outside premises
ii. Stages in production/service process
iii. Tasks such as loading, repair, service, etc.

Hazard Identification

The objective of hazard identification is to focus on the critical operations of tasks
where the tasks give significant risks to the health and safety of employees as well
as highlighting those hazards related to certain equipment due to energy sources,
working conditions or activities performed. It includes determining when, where, why,
what and how an accident could affect its workers and subcontractors, the
environment, its business strategies or its reputation. Hazards could take in the
following forms such as physical hazards, health hazards, and environmental
hazards.

Risk Assessment

This involves analysing the controls in place to manage an event that could result in
unwanted consequences. Part of this analysis involves assessing the likelihood of
the event occurring and the magnitude of the consequences. This is being
conducted using the risk assessment matrix.

Risk Control Action Plan

The hazard posed at the Company plant could be minimised and controlled by using
the hierarchy of control approach such as Elimination, Substitution, Engineering
Controls, Administrative controls, Personal protective equipment and analyse the
residual risk.

Hazards should be controlled at their source in which the risk is created. The closer
control to the source of the hazard is the better. This method is often referred to as
applying engineering controls.

If this does not work, hazards can often be controlled along the pathway to the
worker, between the source and the worker. This method can be referred to as
applying administrative controls.
