PRE WORK HIRA - Anmar

1 PRE work HIRAV2 REVIEWED JULY 2012 TRAINING OBJECTIVESThe main outcome of this training will be your competency to IDENTIFY HAZARDS AND TO ASSESS THE ASSOSIATED MUST YOU ATTEND THE pre work hira TRAININGIt is of utmost importance that every employee should receive training in Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment because: It allows you the employee to take appropriate action to prevent accidents and incidents that cause injury. It empowers you to exercise your right / duty to participate in Health and Safety in the workplace It builds self respect and pride of performance It is a legal requirementResults of failure to do a PRE work HIRAP erson failed to do a PRE work HIRAAt the end of this training you must be able to : Explain what a Hazard is Explain what the meaning of risk associated with the Hazard is.

2 Explain the meaning of elimination of Risk Explain the meaning of controlling of Risk Explain the meaning of minimizing of Risk where the risk/s cannot be eliminated or controlled with out the use of PPE. Demonstrate knowledge of Pre- work HIRA requirements. Understand the Hazard identification guide index for pre- work HIRA Use the Procedure for the conducting of a work Procedure HIRA How to handle a change to the original scope of work . Know the difference between a Permit toWork and a Clearance to work . Know General Control, PPE and SafetyEquipment References Understand the importance of Pre- work communication with your team. Know the Hazard of an un-informedteamGolden RulesGood communication must always convey awareness to all the team members Golden RulesEach Pre- work HIRA should be done on the site where the work will be conductedGolden RulesWhen ever you are in doubt, never hesitate to askGolden RulesApply your mind to each reference point on the Pre- work HIRA form.

Once you have identified a HAZARD always ask yourself the following questions in the order in which the questions are presented: Can I eliminate the risk/s?

4 If I cannot eliminate the risk/s, how can I control the risk/s at source? If I cannot completely control the risk/s at source, how can I minimise the risk/s? Insofar as risk remains what PPE must I use to control the residual risk/s? How can I eliminate a risk?The only way to eliminate a risk is to remove the risk (at source) completely:In the case of the oil spill in Learning Outcome 1: Completely cleaning up the oil spill would eliminate the riskOther examples of eliminating a risk are as follows:a)If there is material lying around that presents a tripping hazard; remove the risk of injury due to tripping and falling by removing the cause (the hazard the material lying about) of this )If there is a hole in a walkway into which people can fall; eliminate the risk of injury to persons due to falling by filling in the hole and levelling off the )If there is a risk of people being injured as they walk out of their workshop because vehicles drive past the door of the workshop.

5 Eliminate the associated risk of injury due to being hit by a moving vehicle by building a roadway for vehicles that passes away from the area where people have to , if you have not removed the hazard the associated risk has not been eliminated How can risks be controlled? A good way to visualize effective control is to think about the MHSA requirement in this regard which states: control the risk at source. Effectively controlling the risk at source (the hazard is the source of danger) invariably involves preventing contact with hazard. If elimination is not possible; control the risk at source. How? - by preventing contact with the can be controlled by:(i)Design (ii) Procedure (iii) A combination of design and procedural DO WE CONTROL RISK BY PROCEDURE?

6 A PROCEDURE IS A SET OF ONE OR MORE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW A TASK MUST BE CARRIED OUT PPE signs instructing workers that specific PPE must be wornAn instruction by the person in charge of workers working above ground level to fasten tools such as spanners to their wrists by means of a wrist lanyard is effectively controlling the risk of injury as a result of tools falling but the actual wrist tie must be suitable for its purpose. What is the hazard in this case? the spanner that can fall ; Where is contact made? - with the person that the spanner falls onto ; How is this contact prevented? the wrist lanyard prevents the spanner from falling the risk is controlled at source because of the instruction given for the spanner to be fastened to the CAN WE CONTROL RISK BY DESIGN?Controlling a risk by design is the process of placing a physical barrier, of known strength in a position that will contain a hazard and/or prevent contact with a include: Handrails installed at the edge of a raised floor Bolting a guard around a moving pulley so that nobody can touch the pulley.

7 In this way contact with the hazard (the moving pulley) is prevented and the associated risk of injury is controlled. Temporary hard barriers or fences will prevent access into areas where excavation or other work is in progress How to control by the Combination of Procedure and Design?White line painted on road What is meant by: MINIMISE the risk and IN-SO-FAR AS RISK REMAINS provide for PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)?

LO #3 Hazard Identification Index Hazard Identification Guide Index for a Pre- work HIRA The following Hazard Identification Guide Index tells us where hazards are most likely to be found and is very convenient when trying to identify hazards before work TEST 3 Write down two jobs where hazards relating to each of the twelve hazard identification pointers in the aforementioned hazard identification guide index must be Sudden release of compressed air, steam, pressurised gas or other source of stored energy that has not been isolated and locked out:2.

8 Falling: from / onto / into / with / as a result of slipping or tripping 3. live" electrical conductors that have not been locked or striking of: fingers / hands / any other body part / clothing while performing work : 5. Sparks and flying particles from: grinding / welding / flame cutting / machining and/or of flammable and / or explosive substance 7. Struck by /Entrapment of body parts or clothing in: moving machinery that has not been isolated and locked out 8. Contact with, ingestion of, ingress of hazardous substance (including gas) through mouth, nose, eyes, ears and/or skin -9. Drowning or asphyxiation -10. Entrapment in confined spaces (together with all of the aforementioned). NOTE: The Engineering Foreman must facilitate a HIRA for confined space work -11.
