Online Programme on Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
Context Setting
Every organisation must develop a safety and health program at workplace to prevent injury or illness to workers. One of the root causes of workplace injuries, illnesses and incidents is the failure to identify hazards that are present or that could have been anticipated. It is necessary to understand the physical and health hazards existing at workplace and measures to control risk from such hazards. This will help in developing safe operating procedures, identifying training needs and PPE requirement of workers to prevent injury or illness.
Hazard identification and risk assessment (HIRA) is a process to identify the hazards existing at workplace, assessing the probability and severity of harm it can cause, developing control measures to eliminate risk or bring it to a tolerable level. HIRA allows systematic identification of hazards as well as quantification of the associated risk. This is a proactive approach to find and fix the hazard before it can cause a damage rather than reactive approach after the incident causing damage. Over a period, process and equipment may change resulting in creating new hazards at workplace. Therefore, initial assessment of existing hazards, risks and control measures is followed by periodic monitoring and reassessment to identify new hazards.
The collaboration between management and workers toward incident prevention builds trust, greater worker participation, improve productivity and create positive work environment. Since, HIRA is an ongoing activity, adequate record keeping should be done for continual improvement.
