Hazard
A Hazard is something with the potential to cause harm
Eg. Using a ladder creates a hazard through the potential of the individual falling.
Types of Hazard
Physical Chemical Biological Ergonomic Psychological
Examples of Physical Hazards
- electricity
- work at height
- radiation
- vibration
- noise
- heat
- trip hazards
- moving machine parts
- vehicles
Examples of Chemical Hazards
- gases
- liquid
- solids
- dusts
- lead
- mercury
- sulphuric acid
- silica
- cement dust
Examples of Biological Hazards
- bacteria
- viruses
- moulds, fungi & spores
- hepatitis B virus
- legionella bacteria
- rabies virus
Examples of Ergonomic Hazards
- frequent repetitive handling of small boxes leading to inflammation
- stooping, twisting
- manual handling
Examples of Psychological Hazards
- exposure to highly traumatic events (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD)
- bullying & harassment
- unrealistic time-scales
- risk of violence
Risk
A risk is the likelihood that a hazard will cause harm in combination with the severity of injury, damage or loss that might foreseeable occur
Risk Assessment
The formalised process of identifying hazards, evaluating the risk that they generate and then either eliminating or controlling the risk to an acceptable level
Eg. An untrained person operating a forklift creates a risk through the likelihood of an accident occurring due to lack of training and familiarity with the equipment, of which the severity could be great.
Safe systems of work (SSW)
A safe system of work is a formal procedure based on a systematic examination of the work in order to identify the hazards. It defines safe methods of working which eliminate those hazards or minimise the risks associated with them
SSW - 3 key elements
Formal - documented
Systematic examination of work in order to identify the hazards
Defines safe methods
- Analyse task, identify hazards and assess the risks
- Introduce controls and formulate procedures
- Instruct and train personnel in the use of the system
- Monitor and review the system
