Arowwai Industries HAZARD IDENTIFICATION, POTENTIAL, AND PRIORITIZATION Chapter 3  INTRODUCTION This module centers on distinguishing dangers within the work environment counting their chance possibilities. It too examines chance positioning or prioritization. In conclusion, the module will teach the understudies how to make a Hazard Lattice. lesson 1: lesson 2: lesson 3: Identifying Hazard Risk Risks hazard in the Potential Prioritization workplace OBJECTIVES Understand the potential hazards in the workplace. Apply the information or skills learned to mitigate risk in the school setting. Analyze the different sources or events of hazards Understand different hazards and their risk potentials. Evaluate factors that contribute to the levels of risk. Create a list of hazards and their potentials in the kitchen. Understand the importance of ranking and prioritizing hazards. Classify the different risks according to probability and severity. Make a Risk Matrix using the kitchen as an example. IDENTIFYING HAZARD IN THE WORKPLACE This coordination both the experienced with mastery conducts the assessment. In either case, the individual or bunch ought to be competent to execute the appraisal and have great information and ability to evaluate the conceivable dangers, to any circumstances that might conceivable to happen, and suitable defensive measures are done to address that danger or risk. To be beyond any doubt that all dangers are identified: Search on all viewpoints of the work. Include non-routine/ non-regular activities such as preventive maintenance, repair, or cleaning. Search on accident / incident / near-miss records and files. Include people who are not familiar onsite like clients, suppliers, etc. Search at the way the work is organized or done (include workflow, systems being used, the experience of people doing the work, etc). Search at foreseeable unusual conditions (for example possible impact on hazard protocols and procedures that may be unavailable in an emergency every situation, on-site incidents, allergy attacks, robbery, power outage, etc.). Determine whether a particular product, tools, equipment, and the machine can be intentionally or unintentionally changed to hurt someone(e.g., a safety guard on the products/machine that could be removed). Review all of the phases of the workflow. Examine risks to guess and client or the public. Consider the groups or cluster of people that may have a different level of risks such as young or person with medical issues like allergy etc., persons with disabilities, or expectant mothers. IT MAY HELP TO CREATE A CHART OR TABLE SUCH AS THE FOLLOWING: Level of Priority – it can be answered with yes or no. Is it urgent? Is it important? Is the wroth the risk? Control – a diversion/alternative in a situation to mitigate the hazard and control the risk  HAZARD RISK POTENTIAL Each 12,500hazard should be carefully studied to determine its' level of risk. To research the potential hazard, you can look at: Product review or information/manufacturer documentation. 10,000 Users experience (knowledge from the user that workers with it, etc.). 7,500 Operational requirements or application standards. ( use the product according to its purpose) 5,000 Industry-standard operating procedures/ best and codes of practices. Health and safety material (data about the dangerous and 2,500 hazardous material utilize in a product) ought to be incorporate in security 0 information sheets (SDSs), inquire about considers, Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4 Item 6 center gather ponder, or other producer data.  HAZARD RISK POTENTIAL 12,500 Data from ISO or other reputable organizations/product safety checker. Results of testing (safety experts/ focusgroup reviews and 10,000 recommendations) The 7,500 panel of experts or occupational health and safety professionals. (consultations) Search on the Information about previous near misses, injuries, 5,000 illnesses, incident reports, etc. Observation/understand of the process or task. 2,500 0 Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4 Item 6 REMEMBER TO INCLUDE FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE AND AFFECTS THE LEVEL OF RISK SUCH AS: The establishment or work environment (layout, condition, etc.). The workflow or systems of work being used. The range of foreseeable and bearable conditions. The way or source that may cause harm (e.g. Ingestion, inhalation, etc.). How often an individual or group of individuals will be exposed. (stakeholders) The interaction, experience capability, the skill of workers who do the work.  RISK PRIORITIZATION The positioning or prioritizing risks may be a way to understand and decide which chance is the foremost genuine and in this way which can moderate or control first. Prioritizing of discoveries is ordinarily set up by taking into consideration the stakeholder's presentation and the potential for occurrence, ailment, or harm. By recognizing a chance to be a need, you're reaching to make a checklist of danger and conceivable activity to it. There's no simple way to decide the level of hazard. Nor will a single arrangement or method apply in all situations. The organization has got to decide which arrangement will work best for each circumstance. The positioning of dangers requiresthe information and understanding of the workingenvironment, direness of circumstances, exercises, and most vitally, judgment, objective. THE OBJECTIVE IS THE ONE TO BE ADDRESSED. HOW TO MAKE IT SAFE? For a circumstance straightforward or less complex, and evaluation can troublesome and requires strict discourse or conceptualizing sessions based on data, association, and conceivable courses of action. In a couple of cases, checklists or a probability arrange are actualized to help overview the circumstance. For more comprehensive and complex circumstances, a board of ace work constrain is principal, individuals who are commonplace with the work and have passed experience the hazard. Consider this straightforward hazard framework. This table outlines the relationship between the likelihood and seriousness of a hazard. Seriousness appraisals in are displayed on distinctive levels: High: significant loss of blood, fracture, poisoning serious head injury, or fatal disease Medium: dermatitis, asthma, sprain, strain, localized burn, an injury requiring days off work Low: an injury that can be cured by first aid only; short-term pain, irritation, or dizziness Probability ratings in this example represent: Priority to stop/ address the situation fix and find a solution High: likely to occur/experienced once or twice a year by an individual or group of individuals Medium: likely maybe occur/experienced once every three-five years by an individual or group of individuals Low: may occur once during a 10 years The cells in Table represent the risk level The risk ratings correspond to appropriate/ recommended actions such as: Immediately dangerous: stop operation and process, address the situation and implement controls High risk: investigate the process address the situation and implement controls immediately Medium risk: keep the process going; address the situation, however, a control plan must be developed and should be implemented as soon as possible. Low risk: keep the process going, address the situation, but monitor regularly. A control plan should also be investigated Very low risk: address the situation keep monitoring the process implement control Comparing to the risk matrix chart Table 1, these levels correspond to low risk. The establishment has a broken tiles barely unnoticeable use the risk matrix and risk rating to access the situation.
