7 RISK ASSESSMENT & CONTROL GUIDELINES
8
9 1. Executing Steps:
0 1.1. Planning
1 a) Construction and HSE team must ensure that hazard identification is complete.
2 b) Construction and HSE team must prioritize the hazard issues, which are of significant in nature. (It means that risks
3 have well established legal requirements, potentially high risks).
4 c) Construction and HSE team to prepare the risk assessment plan for the priorities identified hazards for these
5 potential high risks.

6 1.2. Risk Assessment

7 Risk is the probability of an event occurring in a given set of circumstances. The ‘event’ is an exposure to hazard. The
8 hazard is the potential to cause harm. The risk assessment is the technique of evaluating not just the likelihood of an
9 event occurring, but also the outcome will be in terms of injury, loss, damage or harm.
0 1.3. Risk Assessment Process
1 The process of carrying out a risk assessment should be as follows.
2 1. Identify the hazards.
3 2. Identify who might be harmed and how.
4 3. Evaluate the risk and implement the control measures.
5 4. Record the significant findings.
6 5. Review the assessment and update if necessary.

7 1.4. Examination of the Hazards and Risk Associated

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

5 1.5. Evaluating the risk:

6 Once the necessary information has been obtained on the hazards encountered by work activities, next stage is to
7 access the risks.
8 1.5.1. Risk Rating Score
9 Risk rating score is a combination of two factors.
0  The severity of the risk that could injure persons or cause damage to plant.
1  The likelihood of the risk that it could happen (Probability).
2
3 RISK RATING = LIKELIHOOD X SEVERITY
4 NOTE: Each activity has to be assessed for the risk value for determining the level of Severity and likelihood are mentioned in
