4 Hazard Assessment Policy It is the policy of Company Name/Organization, to implement a systematic process for the identification and control of hazards. At minimum, Company Name/Organization, will: 1. Perform a comprehensive hazard assessment for all activities; equipment; processes and property under our control. 2. Review the comprehensive hazard assessment annually to ensure its ongoing suitability for our operational needs. 3. Perform task hazard assessments prior to the start of any job requiring activities which are new or unusual. Signed: Date: Page 4

5 Hazard Assessment Policy Goal: to implement a systematic process for the identification and control of hazards. At minimum, we will: 1. Perform a comprehensive hazard assessment for all activities; equipment; processes and property under our control. 2. Review the comprehensive assessment annually to ensure it ongoing suitability for our operational needs. 3. Prior to the start of any job or activities which are new or unusual, we will perform a task hazard assessment. 4. Prior to the start of any project activity with a duration of 30 days or more, conduct a formal Project Hazard Assessment. Project Hazard Assessments Project Hazard Assessments will be reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure all necessary controls are in place and appropriate to the need. Project supervisor will advise Project Management of any revisions during monthly Project Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committee meetings. Records will be forwarded to the office for retention. Signed: Date: Page 5

7 Ranking Hazards by Risk (Consequences and Probability) Once a hazard has been identified, hazard ranking provides us with a gauge to determine where to start as with most elements in a safety program, our priorities will be determined by addressing the worst first. Hazard consequence category: I. Catastrophic - may cause death, injury, or company shutdown II. Critical - may cause severe injury, severe occupational illness or major property damage III. Marginal - may cause minor injury or minor occupational illness resulting in workday(s) lost, or minor property damage. IV. Negligible - probably would not affect personnel safety or health. Could result in a lost workday, and is still in violation of specific criteria. Hazard Probability Category (a) (b) (c) (d) Likely to occur immediately or within a short period of time when exposed to the hazard. Probably will occur in time. Possible to occur in time. Unlikely to occur. During the implementation of the safety program, you will want to focus on hazards that fall in the 1(a), 1(b), 2(a) and 2(b) rating. As time permits, all potential hazards should have controls identified and implemented. Remember -- regulatory requirements may dictate priorities. Page 7

20 CONSTRUCTING YOUR CRITICAL TASK INVENTORY Pag Page 20

21 CRITICAL TASK INVENTORY Critical Task : If the task is not identified or if the procedure is incorrectly performed or absent, has a significant potential for loss to people, product, process or profit. Using frequency, severity and probability, a task performed by the company can be identified as being critical. Keep in mind: $ that if an incident/injury has occurred in the past performing the task, it should be automatically considered a critical task. $ if O H & S Regulations require a detailed procedure, that task is a critical. Utilize this table and the following formulas to construct your critical task inventory; any task with a total of (7) or more is a critical task and should have a job procedure and/or safe work practice in place to control it. TASK FREQUENCY SEVERITY PROBABILITY TOTAL Page 21

22 CRITICAL TASK ANALYSIS FREQUENCY NUMBER OF TIMES TASK IS PERFORMED BY EACH PERSON NUMBER OF PERSONS PERFORMING TASKS LESS THAN DAILY FEW TIMES PER DAY MANY TIMES PER DAY FEW MODERATE NUMBER MANY Page 22

23 CRITICAL TASK ANALYSIS SEVERITY A SCALE OF NO INJURY OR ILLNESS, OR A QUALITY, PRODUCTION OR OTHER LOSS OF LESS THAN $ MINOR INJURY OR ILLNESS, WITHOUT LOSS TIME, OR-DISRUPTIVE PROPERTY DAMAGE OR A QUALITY, PRODUCTION OR OTHER LOSS OF $100 - $1, A LOSS TIME OR ILLNESS WITHOUT PERMANENT DISABILITY, OR DISRUPTIVE PROPERTY DAMAGE, A QUALITY, PRODUCTION OR OTHER LOSS OF MORE THAN $1,000 BUT NOT EXCEEDING $5, PERMANENT DISABILITY OR A LOSS OF LIFE OR BODY PART, AND/OR EXTENSIVE LOSS OF STRUCTURE, EQUIPMENT OR MATERIAL, QUALITY, PRODUCTION OR OTHER LOSSES EXCEEDING $5,000. Page 23

24 CRITICAL TASK ANALYSIS PROBABILITY I. HAZARDOUS - IE: HOW INHERENTLY DANGEROUS IS THE TASK? II. DIFFICULTY - IE: HOW PRONE TO QUALITY, PRODUCTION OR OTHER PROBLEMS IS THE TASK? III. COMPLEXITY OF THE TASK? IV. CHANCE OF LOSS IF TASK IMPROPERLY PERFORMED? A SCALE OF FROM - 1 TO + 1 IS USED AS FOLLOWS: -1 = LESS THAN AVERAGE PROBABILITY OF LOSS. 0 = AVERAGE PROBABILITY OF LOSS. +1 = GREATER THAN AVERAGE PROBABILITY OF LOSS. Page 24

28 HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN THE SAFETY PLAN For a project manager, a Safety Plan provides a blue print or check list to ensure that appropriate controls exist to ensure against loss and also ensure compliance with OH&S legislation. The role of a project manager is to communicate, co-ordinate and control information and activities that may impact on a successful project Contents may vary from project to project; however the following elements should be contained in all safety plans. Policies - All policies relevant to OH&S and related legislation. These will include Safety Policy, PPE Policy, Inspection Policy, Investigation Policy, OH&S Meetings and the Site Safety Rules and applicable Enforcement Policy (discipline). Hazard assessment(s) - A Project Hazard Assessment should be undertaken by the constructor responsible for the actual work activity and all major sub trades. Hazards and Critical Tasks are identified. Control measures will be identified and all applicable safe work practices and safe job procedures will be submitted as part of the plan. Communications - A strategy to address the necessary information flow on the work site must exist. All parties on the work site must participate and the project manager should ensure that he/she receives verification that OH&S requirements are being met. Emergency Plan - An emergency plan must take into consideration all potential problems or situations which might arise during the life of the project. An effective plan will promote a timely response in the event of disaster. Consideration must be given to: C C C C medical emergencies fire or explosions flooding environmental disasters Specific procedures and contact names and numbers should be clearly identified.
