OHS Management System

• Risk Assessment Based on
• Occupational Health Safety Assessment Series
  18001

2
THE NEW APPROACH TO OHS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Organizations are responsible for risk that
arises out of their own workplaces. Management
need to be committed to OHS- - The old
assumption that workers are responsible for
causing accidents are not entirely valid.
Self-regulated Proactive management approach
3
PURPOSE OF MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 1

• Identify regulatory requirements compliance to
  local and national laws.
• Identify hazards and risks pertinent to
  current work activities.
• Manage risks introduce controls to manage
  risks to as low as reasonably practicable
  (ALARP).

4
PURPOSE OF MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 2

• Establish a policy and objectives introduce
  plans to manage the risks that has been
  identified. Implement the plans.
• Monitor performance obtain feedback and make
  the necessary changes to the policy or objectives
  if required.

WHAT IS OHS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ?
? Voluntary management system ? Integrates OHS
hazards into business process ? Identify, assess
and control hazards relating to business ?
Anticipates and meets OHS performance
expectations (national / international level) ?
Applicable to any organization, regardless of
size, type, or level of maturity
6
PDCA IN OHS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Plan Assess risk, identify applicable
regulations Do Identify responsibility and
accountability, training, communicate, control
and prepare for emergencies. Check Monitor,
Record, Audit (Check, Examination,
Review,Assessment) Act to improve

TERMS AND DEFINITION

• RISK ASSESSMENT
• Overall process of estimating the magnitude of
  risk and deciding whether or not the risk is
  tolerable
• SAFETY
• Freedom from unacceptable risk of harm

• TOLERABLE RISK
• Risk that has Commitmentd to a level that can be
  endured by the organization having regard to its
  legal obligations an its own OHS policy

4.3 PLANNING 1 (One of the elements of OHSAS
18001)

• 4.3.1 Planning for hazard identification, risk
  assessment and risk control.
• The organization shall establish and maintain
  procedures for the ongoing identification of
  hazards, assessment of risks and the
  implementation of the necessary control measures.

10
4.3 PLANNING 2

• Activities shall include routine and non-routine
  of all personnel having access to work place or
  it facilities including subcontractors and
  visitors.
• Results of assessments must be documented and
  kept up to date ( in the event of new equipment
  or change of process).

11
Methodology For Hazard Identification And Risk
Assessment

• Relevant to job activity.
• Proactive rather than reactive. Need to uncover
  hazards.
• Able to classify risks.
• Risks can be identified, controlled or
  eliminated. Control measures need to be
  specified.

12
How do we do it ?

• Set up sub-committees in each individual work
  section.
• Get them to make a list of all current work
  activities ( routine and non-routine).
• Use a Risk Assessment Matrix to conduct an
  initial assessment to determine activities that
  constitute highest risk to employees,
  subcontractors or visitors.

13
How do we do it ?
4. From the initial assessment, conduct a
detailed risk assessment on the highest risk
activity by breaking the activity into the basic
job sequence. 5. From basic job sequence,
determine the inherent hazards (with current
controls in place) and the controls required to
mitigate them.
14
How do we do it ?
6. Plan and allocate resources to ensure controls
are effective. Place priority on activity with
highest risk to safety. 7. Person responsible to
be nominated to administer controls effectively
in the agreed time frame.
15
How can we succeed ?

• Management must give endorsement.
• Set performance standards use industry and
  current legal standards.
• Education and Training provide training to the
  risk assessment sub-committee members.

16
How can we succeed ?

• 4. Task selection (prioritize) Take action on
  job activities with the highest risks.
• 5. Group involvement Risk assessment
  sub-committee is to submit their findings to the
  OSH Committee. OSH Committee to submit to
  management for approval.
• 6. Documented, acted upon and reviewed.

17
How To Prepare A Job Safety Analysis

• How to determine the hazards in a job activity.
• List down all work activities with the highest
  risk.
• Break each work activity into sequential steps.
• Identify all hazards.
• Conduct initial risk assessment.
• RISK probability x severity.

18
How To Control Hazards

• 1. Specify Control Measures.
• Eliminate hazard.
• Engineering Controls / Isolation.
• Administrative Controls.
• Personal Protective Equipment.
• 2. Implement and Monitor.
