2 NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide Role and function of a permit to system HSG65 - Successful health and safety management is part of one of the main elements of successful health and safety management Part of the overall health and safety management system of an organisation Successful organisations adopt a planned and systematic approach to policy implementation Their aim is to minimise the risks created by activities, products and services They use hazard identification and risk assessment methods NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 8 HSG65 - Successful health and safety management The planning process includes the identification of legal Is used to establish a planned programme for health and safety implementation that includes the setting of health and safety objectives as part of a system Source: HSG65. NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 9 NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 10 Setting objectives provides: - A target to aim for - Participants with a sense of direction - Motivation, through structured progress and successful achievement in meeting them Objectives must be set for the organisation as a whole, each function and level The objectives that relate to the whole organisation should be set by the top management team It is important that objectives set for the whole organisation, functions and levels are documented Legal and organisational commitments should be stated in the health and safety policy and translated into organisation-wide, functional and level based objectives The objectives should also express the actions required that will lead to the reduction in accidents Objectives should also include consideration of technological options Good objectives will also reflect the organisation s financial, operational and business and take into account the views of interest parties NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 11 NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 12 Sample of Powerpoint presentation for NEBOSH National General Certificate 2

3 S pecific A specific objective has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal. To set a specific objective it is necessary to determine: Who: is involved. What: is to be accomplished. Where: identify the location. When: a time frame should be established. Which: identify and any constraints. Why: specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal. M easurable Establish a reliable system to measure progress towards the achievement of the objective. Avoid using words like understand as an objective since understanding can be very difficult to measure. A chievable Many objectives are realistic. However, the time it takes to achieve them may be unrealistic. For example, it is realistic for a person to want to lose ten pounds in weight. However, it is unrealistic to want to lose ten pounds in one week. Any barriers to the success of the objective should be identified. Each barrier identified can then be analysed to determine how it may be overcome and within what time frame. R elevant Availability of resources will determine how realistically an objective can be achieved within a particular time frame. T imely For short term or project related objectives to be effective a defined time frame for completion should be set. For where is ongoing, support objectives to achieve the level of performance may be necessary, such as with food processing, where the objective (ongoing) may be the periodic checking that the food is within a specified temperature range, or the level of staff hygiene is appropriate for associated ers. Identifying and keeping up to date with legal The organisation should have made a commitment to compliance with legislation in the health and safety policy statement Legislation states the minimum standards that must be achieved by employers and employees alike Legislative are taken into account when risks are assessed and systems of are established Organisations should put systems into place that ensure they have identified legal that affect them and are kept up to date with changes Source: RMS. NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 13 NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 14 Identifying and keeping up to date with legal In the last few years new standards have been introduced through regulations such as the: - Control of Noise at Work Regulations (CNWR) Work at Height Regulations (WAH) Health and Safety (Offences) Act (HSO) Control of Artificial Optical Radiation at Work Regulations (CAOR) 2010 Legal should be evaluated for their applicability Role and function of a permit to system NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 15 NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 16 Legal Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations (MHSWR) 1999 Regulation 3 of MHSWR 1999 requires employers to assess the risk to the health and safety of their employees and to anyone else who may be affected by their activity The duty under Regulation 3 of MHSWR 1999 is a general duty, as it relates to risk assessments for all risks Other legislation sets out legal for risk assessment for specific risks Where five or more employees are employed, the significant findings of risk assessments must be recorded in writing Legal Other legislation Substances harmful to health, including biological substances - Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH) 2002 Manual handling - Manual Handling Operations Regulations (MHOR) 1992 Display screen equipment - Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations (DSE) 1992 Fire - Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (RRFSO) 2005 Noise - Control of Noise at Work Regulations (CNWR) 2005 Vibration - Control of Vibration at Work Regulations (CVWR) 2005 Ultraviolet, visible light, and infrared radiation - Control of Artificial Optical Radiation at Work Regulations (CAOR) 2010 NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 17 NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 18 Sample of Powerpoint presentation for NEBOSH National General Certificate 3

4 Hazard Something that has the potential to cause harm (loss) The potential to cause harm, including ill-health and injury, damage to property, plant, products or the environment, production losses or increased liabilities Source: Successful Health and Safety Management, HSG65, HSE. Risk The likelihood of potential harm from a hazard being realised The likelihood that a specified undesired event will occur due to the realisation of a hazard by, or during, activities or by the products and services created by activities Source: Successful Health and Safety Management, HSG65, HSE. NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 19 NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 20 Risk assessment To evaluate the risk(s) arising from the hazard(s), identifying preventive and protective, taking into account the adequacy of any existing controls, and deciding whether or not the risk is acceptable Objectives of risk assessment; prevention of place accidents Risk assessment involves: 1) The identification of hazards 2) Identification of the population at risk 3) The evaluation of the risks from the hazards 4) Recording significant findings and the implementation of them 5) Reviewing the risk assessment and updating it if necessary NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 21 NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 22 Ill-health The health and well-being of individuals may be affected by a number of -related factors Ill-health may develop over a long period of time: - These are commonly called chronic diseases Typical examples of -related ill-health are: - Asbestosis, pneumoconiosis and silicosis Where the ill-heath effects may take several years to develop More recently, ill-health effects have been related to load and stress Injury accident Some injury effects will be acute in nature Such as: - Strains or sprains of muscles or ligaments caused by inappropriate lifting of heavy items Other common injuries include: - Cuts - Burns - Bruises NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 23 NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 24 Sample of Powerpoint presentation for NEBOSH National General Certificate 4

5 Dangerous occurrence RIDDOR 1995 lists incidents that must be formally reported to the relevant enforcement agency Significant events (the collapse of, the overturning of, or the failure of): - Load-bearing part of any lift or hoist - Mobile powered access platform - Access cradle or window-cleaning cradle - Excavator - Pile-driving frame or rig (overall height of more than 7 metres) - Fork lift truck - A scaffold of more than five metres high Near-miss An unplanned, uncontrolled event which led to, or could have led to loss NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 25 NGC Sixth Edition - NGC1 Element 4 - v Slide 26 Damage-only Ratios of incident outcomes A study led by Frank Bird Showed that there is a fixed ratio between losses of different severity and accidents where no loss occurred, i.e. near misses 1,750,000 accidents in 21 industries This is illustrated in the pyramid model of incident outcomes - Frank Bird s accident ratio study Near Miss Equipment damage Minor Injury Death Source: RMS.
