HIERARCHY OF THE CONTROL

Types of Health Hazards

Types of Health Hazards

Chemical

Physical

Biological

Ergonomic

Routes of Exposure

Inhalation: through nose and/or mouth

Ingestion: through the mouth

Absorption: Through the skin

Injection: because of a puncture

(PSM)PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT

A key element is the “Process Hazard Analysis”. PSM elements include a step called “Understanding and

Evaluating Risk“ which needs to be done properly to be "fit for purpose".

"Risk assessment" is often left to the HSE and risk specialists instead of being carried out with the involvement of operational and maintenance personnel.

Some companies still fail to examine and evaluate with the necessary depth those risks linked to activities.

Part of this presentation shows what process safety “risk assessment” actually means and how it can be done correctly.

RISK ASSESSMENTWhat is RA?

Risk Assessment is a method of looking at our work activities, considering what could go wrong, and deciding on control measures to prevent loss, damage or injury in the workplace.

RISK ASSESSMENThow do we measure risk?

Probability XConsequence= Risk

SIX TYPE

OF THE CONTROL

HIERARCHY OF THE CONTROL

HIERARCHY OF THE CONTROLS

The “Hierarchy of Controls” should be used at all times when implementing controls to eliminate the hazard or reduce the risk of a hazard causing loss / damage / injuries.

Types of the controls

More effective

Less effective

What do we mean by ELIMINATION?

• Elimination of the hazard is the most effective means of hazard control. It involves the physical removal of the hazard, for example, if employees are required to work high above the ground, the hazard can be eliminated by moving the piece they are working on to "ground level" to eliminate the need to work at heights.

SUBSTITUTION

The second most effective way to control hazards is substitution replace the hazard with a lesser hazard. Be careful to assess what new risks the substitute may pose. An example of substitution is replacing lead based paint with acrylic paint. In order to be an effective control, the new product must not produce another hazard. Because airborne dust can be hazardous, if a product can be purchased with a larger particle size, the smaller product may effectively be substituted with the larger product.

ENGINEERING CONTROL

The third most effective means of controlling hazards is engineering controls. Engineering controls do not eliminate hazards, but rather keep people isolated from hazards. Capital costs of engineering controls tend to be higher than those the less effective controls within the hierarchy, however they may reduce future costs

ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS

Theses controls are made by establishing policies and procedures to lower the risks – job scheduling to limit exposure– posting hazard signs– restricting access– training.

BEHAVIOUR CONTROL What is this?

Following safe work practices, workplace good housekeeping, personal hygiene practices.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

PPE is the least effective way to control hazards. – There is a very high potential for PPE to become ineffective

due to damage. – Some PPE, such as respirators, increase physiological

effort to complete a task and require medical examinations to ensure the worker can use the PPE without risk to his or her own health.

What can include PPE?

PPE can include gloves respirators, hard hats, safety glasses, high-visibility clothing, and safety footwear.
