Summary

This video provides an overview of the Risk Management Process in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS). It explains how identifying hazards, analyzing risks, assessing their impact, and implementing risk controls are crucial to maintaining a safe workplace. The process includes stages like hazard identification, risk analysis, risk assessment, and control measures such as elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and PPE. The video uses real-world examples, such as harvesting oil palm and chemical handling, to illustrate these concepts. Emphasizing regular monitoring, documentation, and communication, the video highlights the importance of continuous improvement in workplace safety.

Takeaways

• 😀 A safe and comfortable work environment is achievable through proper knowledge of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS).
• 😀 The Risk Management Process is a systematic approach for identifying hazards, analyzing risks, and implementing controls in the workplace.
• 😀 The Risk Management Process includes five key stages: Hazard Identification, Risk Analysis, Risk Assessment, Risk Control, and Monitoring & Review.
• 😀 Hazard Identification involves recognizing potential risks in the workplace, such as heavy falling objects, noise, chemicals, and repetitive motions.
• 😀 Risk Analysis evaluates the probability and severity of potential accidents, helping determine whether a risk is acceptable or not.
• 😀 Risk Control includes five strategies: Elimination, Substitution, Engineering Controls, Administrative Controls, and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
• 😀 Elimination removes the hazard from the workplace, while Substitution replaces hazardous materials or processes with safer alternatives.
• 😀 Engineering Controls modify equipment or workstations to minimize hazards, such as soundproofing rooms for noise exposure or modifying machines to prevent accidents.
• 😀 Administrative Controls include procedures, signage, training, and policies to manage risks and keep workers safe.
• 😀 PPE is a critical last line of defense when hazards cannot be fully eliminated or controlled through other measures. Appropriate PPE must always be provided for workers.
• 😀 Regular monitoring and review of hazards and controls are essential to ensure continuous improvement in workplace safety, especially after accidents or process changes.

Q & A

What is the first step in the Risk Management Process?

The first step in the Risk Management Process is Hazard Identification. It involves observing the work environment and recognizing potential hazards that could lead to incidents or accidents.

What is the difference between a hazard and a risk?

A hazard refers to anything that has the potential to cause harm, while a risk is the likelihood or probability of that hazard causing an incident or injury.

How do you determine whether a risk is acceptable or not?

To determine if a risk is acceptable, you use a Risk Assessment Matrix that evaluates both the probability of an incident happening and the severity of the potential consequences. If the probability is 'likely' and severity is 'moderate', the risk is considered 'not acceptable'.

What are the four primary components of the Risk Management Process?

The four primary components of the Risk Management Process are Hazard Identification, Risk Analysis, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control. Monitoring and Review are also important for continuous improvement.

What is the purpose of Risk Control?

Risk Control aims to eliminate or reduce identified hazards through strategies like Elimination, Substitution, Engineering Control, Administrative Control, and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

What is an example of Elimination in Risk Control?

An example of Elimination is removing hazardous materials, processes, or steps that pose a risk. For instance, a dangerous chemical might be eliminated from the workplace if a safer alternative is available.

What is meant by Engineering Control in the context of Risk Management?

Engineering Control involves designing or modifying tools, machines, or processes to reduce exposure to hazards. For example, installing a protective barrier around a dangerous machine would be considered an Engineering Control.

When should PPE be used in a workplace?

PPE should be used when other risk control measures, such as Elimination, Substitution, or Engineering Control, are not feasible or fully effective in reducing the hazard. PPE serves as an additional layer of protection for workers.

What should be done if a workplace hazard involves high noise levels?

If the hazard involves noise levels above 85 dB, Risk Control can include Engineering Controls like building a soundproof room, Administrative Controls such as warning signs, and providing appropriate PPE like ear protection.

What should be done in the case of a hazardous situation involving chemicals?

When dealing with chemicals, risk control measures should include providing worker training, clear work instructions, and ensuring the use of appropriate PPE, such as gloves and respirators, to protect workers from exposure.

What is the purpose of conducting a regular review of the Risk Management Process?

A regular review of the Risk Management Process ensures continuous improvement by assessing any changes to work processes, materials, or incidents. The review helps identify any new hazards or risks that may require further action.
