5 TAHAP HIRARKI PENGENDALIAN RISIKO DALAM K3

Summary

This video focuses on the hierarchy of hazard control, a crucial framework for managing workplace risks. The speaker, Agung, discusses the five levels of risk control, starting with the most effective methods: elimination and substitution of hazardous materials. He then highlights engineering controls, administrative measures, and lastly, personal protective equipment (PPE) as the final line of defense. Through examples like chemical hazards and railway crossing risks, Agung emphasizes the importance of selecting the most effective safety measures and the need for collaboration across departments to ensure worker safety.

Takeaways

• 😀 The script introduces a discussion on hazard control hierarchy and risk management in the context of ISO 45001.
• 😀 Personal protective equipment (PPE) is often mistakenly seen as the first solution to risks, but it's less effective compared to other control measures.
• 😀 The hierarchy of hazard control is a framework for selecting control actions, moving from the most to the least effective measures.
• 😀 The most effective way to control hazards is through elimination, which removes the risk entirely (e.g., replacing flammable chemicals with non-flammable alternatives).
• 😀 Substitution involves replacing dangerous substances with safer alternatives, such as using chemicals with higher flash points to reduce fire risks.
• 😀 Engineering controls modify the work environment or processes to reduce risk, like using pumps to prevent static electricity buildup during alcohol dispensing.
• 😀 Administrative controls include SOPs, work instructions, and training, but they are less effective than engineering controls, as they rely on human behavior.
• 😀 PPE is the last resort in hazard control, and while it provides protection, it is often uncomfortable and less effective than other measures.
• 😀 The example of train crossings illustrates hazard control, where elimination (e.g., building a flyover) is the most effective, followed by technical solutions (e.g., barriers with sirens).
• 😀 Discussions among different departments are crucial to choosing the most effective hazard control measures, ensuring they do not create new hazards or stop production unnecessarily.

Q & A

What is the primary focus of the video?

The primary focus of the video is to discuss hazard control hierarchy and the risk management strategies associated with it, particularly referencing ISO 45001 standards.

Why should personal protective equipment (PPE) not be the first solution when dealing with hazards?

PPE should not be the first solution because it only protects individuals, and its effectiveness depends on proper use. The goal is to eliminate or reduce risks through more effective methods before resorting to PPE.

What are the five stages in the hazard control hierarchy?

The five stages are: 1) Elimination, 2) Substitution, 3) Engineering controls, 4) Administrative controls, and 5) Personal protective equipment (PPE).

Can you give an example of hazard elimination from the transcript?

An example of elimination is removing a hazardous chemical like alcohol from a process and replacing it with a safer alternative that poses no risk.

What does substitution mean in the context of hazard control?

Substitution involves replacing a dangerous substance with a less hazardous one. For example, substituting alcohol with a chemical that has a higher flashpoint to reduce flammability risks.

What is the role of engineering controls in hazard management?

Engineering controls involve modifying equipment or systems to control or reduce hazards. For instance, using pumps to prevent static electricity when handling flammable alcohol.

What are administrative controls, and how effective are they in hazard control?

Administrative controls involve setting up procedures such as training, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and signage. While useful, they are less effective than engineering controls because they depend on human compliance.

How does the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) relate to other hazard control methods?

PPE is considered the least effective method in the hazard control hierarchy, used only when other methods (like elimination or engineering controls) are not possible or sufficient.

What example from the transcript illustrates a technical solution in risk management?

A technical solution is the use of barriers like portals and alarms to prevent vehicles from crossing train tracks. This reduces the risk of accidents, though it's less effective than completely eliminating the hazard by building a flyover.

Why is it important to consult various parties when implementing hazard control measures?

It is crucial to consult various departments and stakeholders to ensure that the selected hazard control measures are practical, effective, and do not inadvertently create new hazards.
