Any other relevant information
Plant Manager, HSE manager, supervisors and HSE Executive (who reports daily to
finance controller) has moral duty and direct responsibility of health and safety
environment.
* If you’re worried about confidentiality, you can invent a false name and location for your organisation but, all other information provided must be
factual.

You should aim to complete this section in 100 - 200 words.
Note: this section can be completed after you have competed your risk assessment.
Outline how the risk
assessment was carried out
this should include:
 sources of information
consulted;
 who you spoke to; and
 how you identified:
- the hazards;
- what is already being
done; and
- any additional
controls/actions that
may be required.
I started this risk assessment with codes of practices of International Labour Organisation (ILO) – have a
lot of data relating to oils and refinery plant.
https://www.ilo.org/dyn/normlex/en/f?p=NORMLEXPUB:12100:0::NO::P12100_INSTRUMENT_ID:312515
British Health and safety Executive site also a lot of data about safety related issues and arrangements.
This site was a good source of information.
https://solutions.hse.gov.uk/your-business/oil-gas
occupational health and safety act 1910 also was a good source of information-
https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=Standards&p_id=10106 and
consulted with the Health and safety Manager of the plant.
After looking to see the information then I went through the plant and take workers interview about their
health and safety related issues like ill health issues and problems, the information they know about their
health and safety was less and also lack of knowledge about any responsibilities of themselves and
Employer.
I also read their audits reports, previous inspection reports, ill health data, accident and incident reports
and also consult with the stack holders to see what types of accidents had occurred over the last 8
months and whether any of these accidents recurring at the same place. I also checked the reasons for
sick absence and analysis work process and lost time injuries again to see if there were any recurring
themes for ill health but refuse to find any major issue because they have in following of Pakistan Factory
Act 1934 on which basically, they fulfilled their acts and have a less percentage of accidents in plant.
After accessing the control measures, I also referred to some of the HSE’s approved codes of practices
for guidance documents. For example, for chemical exposure I recommend R177 Chemicals
Recommendation, 1990, ILO Convention 1988 (C167, Article 28) (Regarding Hazardous substance) and
C170-Chemicals Convention, 1990, Article 13)

Moral, general legal and financial
arguments
Moral:
EXALO Pakistan Company is morally and ethically responsible for safety and well-being of
the employees. For our acculturated society it isn't worthy that any labourers harmed or
passed on during his work. All workers in the organization are for vocation to convey the life.
If hazard related to working yard make the individual unfit to return home completely secure
or making incapable the worker to portable his/her work, at that point these outcomes put
negative effect on their wards. Some of the ill health conditions that could be contracted or
injuries that could occur will have a major impact on the lives of the workers and their family
and friends. Long term injuries and infirmity have significant effect on our labourer’s
psychological wellness after their retirement they can't offer different specialists to work in
their organization up until to this point.


Legal:
EXALO Pakistan Company is required by law to safeguard its employees under the
International Labour Organization's (ILO) Safety and Health Convention (C155). EXALO
Pakistan Company ’s reputation could take a serious hit if goes wrong which could result in
fines from Pakistan government authority. The likely amount of compensation and civil claims
can be Substantial. Company could also find that civil claim by the courts from workers made
ill or permanent disability by these work activities could be made. If any major accident
occurred, company may be fined from enforcement authority and I would point out that this
financial cost would not be recoverable from insurance company. Possible enforcement

actions that EXALO Pakistan Company could receive include being served with prohibition
notices and improvement notices relating to these activities by the regulator.

Financial:
Financial impacts could be broken into following these categories. cost associated with:
Compensation payable to the victim, which is likely to be met by insurance cover and will
therefore result in an increase in insurance premium.
Loss of staff morale (Which impact on productivity, quality and efficiency)
Repairs to, or replacement of damaged equipment and building
Activation of penalty clauses for failing to meet delivery dates
Compliance with any enforcement notice served.
Justification for action 1
Action (Taken from column 4 of risk
assessment)
Proper and suitable local exhaust ventilation system should install to eliminate and reduce
exposure of welding fumes. (Hazard category; Hazardous substance)
Specific legal arguments ILO C170 - Chemicals Convention, 1990 (No. 170) article 6 required that also required that
With a view to preventing, reducing or eliminating risks to health in places of employment,
all appropriate and practicable measures should be taken to substitute harmless or less
harmful substances, processes or techniques for harmful substances, processes or
techniques, to prevent the liberation of harmful substances and to shield workers from
harmful radiations, to carry out hazardous processes in separate rooms or buildings
occupied by a minimum number of workers. Pakistan Occupational Safety and Health Act
2018 also requires that ’In every plant, there is given off any dust or fume toxic gas or other
impurity which are injurious and offensive to workers.
Consideration of likelihood AND severity
 types of injury or ill health
 number of workers at risk
 how often the activity is carried
out
 how widespread the risk is
The likelihood of serious health issues due to inhalation of welding fumes is high because
Welders were welding without face shields in the maintenance workshop.
I set the category when suggesting the severity in following way:
 Minimal: no injury or damage happened.
 Minor: injury happened requiring the first aid treatment and/or unimportant damage
to the equipment and machinery.

15. This is a Sample, don’t use it
Learner number: Learner name: Page 15 of 19
 Major: injury happened requiring the hospital treatment, requiring recovery time,
and/or important damage to equipment and machinery.
 Fatal: injuring which causing disability or death, and loss of equipment, machinery or
building.
The rating of severity for this hazard being realised has been set at major because due to
inhaling fume, this can be harmed because excessive levels of welding fumes can induce
respiratory irritation, which can lead to long-term significant health problems. Prolonged
exposure to welding fumes can cause lung damage as well as cancers of the lungs, throat,
and urinary tractIf any ill-health case happens, it is very probably that worker will require
hospital treatment eg lung damage and cancers

There are fifteen workers working in this section in two shifts and are at risk

Welding operation in the maintenance workshop and there was insufficient ventilation to
reduce dangerous welding fumes. Workers work in this area in two shifts.

The risk is in the maintenance workshop and affects workers only that are working in this
area.
How effective the action is likely to be in
controlling the risk. This should include:
 the intended impact of the action;
 justification for the timescale that
you indicated in your risk
assessment; and
 whether you think the action will
fully control the risk
Local exhaust ventilation system will remove the welding fumes from the work area and
workers will not inhale fumes and the exposure of welding fumes will be decreased and
likelihood of serious health issues will also be decreased and in future any ill-health case will
not happen. This will major impact on the workforce and workers will do their work with safely.

I have given a time scale of 2 months for this to be completed as plans will need to draw up
and the budget for this recommendation will need be agreed with Finance Manager. I would
hope that this will be the maximum amount of time will need to be complete.

This action will maximum control the risk of inhaling welding fumes as installation of Local
exhaust ventilation with other control measures. Action with suitable controls can help to
provide the fully control the risk.

Justification for action 2
Action (Taken from column 4 of risk
assessment)
Fall arrestor system must be provided to the welder. (Hazard category; Working at height)
Specific legal arguments ILO C167 - Safety and Health in Construction Convention, 1988 (No. 167) article 14
required that “Where an employee is engaged in work at height, at a close distance from
electrical wires, overhead power lines or other electrical equipment or apparatus, and such
distance involves a risk of the employee sustaining an electrical shock, the employer shall
take such measures as may be necessary to ensure the safety of the employee. Pakistan
Occupational Safety and Health Act 12018 also defined that to avoid the risk of falling of
workers from height during working, employer should be take suitable and necessary
control measures.
Consideration of likelihood AND severity
 types of injury or ill health
 number of workers at risk
 how often the activity is carried
out
 how widespread the risk is
The likelihood of serious injury due to falling from height is high because in the Mechanical
Workshops, a welder was performing welding activity to weld a damaged step of a monkey
ladder.
Please see the justification 1 for severity category. The severity rating for this hazard is set
as Major. If accident occurred related to working at height, it is probably that injury will require
hospital treatment. Bone rupture, bruises, head or neck injury and ribs fracture.

There was one welder working on height and is at risk.

the welder was standing on the lower step of the monkey ladder without utilising a fall arrestor
system and was in danger of falling from height.

The risk is present at working at height activity an affects worker only that are working on
height.
How effective the action is likely to be in
controlling the risk. This should include:
 the intended impact of the action;
 justification for the timescale that
you indicated in your risk
assessment; and
Fall arrestor system will be allow to work safely and the risk of falling from height will be
decreased because fall arrest system is a personal fall protection device that stops a worker
from colliding with the ground, a structure, or any other barrier during a free fall while also
limiting the impact force on the worker's body. This will major impact on the workers and will
do their work with safely.

 whether you think the action will
fully control the risk
I have given a time scale of 2 weeks for this to be completed as plans will need to draw up
and the budget for this recommendation will need be agreed with Finance Manager. I would
hope that this will be the maximum amount of time will need to be complete.

This action will maximum control the risk of fall from height as the provision of fall arrestor
system to the workers with all other control measures. Action with suitable controls can
help to provide the fully control the risk.
Justification for action 3
Action (Taken from column 4 of risk
assessment)
Replace the damaged insulation with adequate, strong, robust enough and satisfactory
insulation material. (Health, welfare and working Environment)
Specific legal arguments ILO C161 - Occupational Health Services Convention, 1985 (No. 161) Article 9 required
that No worker should be required to work regularly in an extreme temperature.
Accordingly, the competent authority should determine either maximum or minimum
standards of temperature, or both, having regard to the climate and to the nature of the
establishment, institution or administrative service and of the work. Pakistan Occupational
safety and health Act 2018 also has set out certain health and safety procedures that
employers must adhere to. This law explain that employer has a responsibility to maintain
the worksite clean and hygienic condition, provide suitable control measures to maintain
the temperature at workplace.
Consideration of likelihood AND severity
 types of injury or ill health
 number of workers at risk
 how often the activity is carried
out
 how widespread the risk is
The likelihood of heat exhaustion, skin burns, dehydration and muscle cramps are high due
to working in high temperature workplace.
Please see the justification 1 for severity category. The severity rating of this hazard is set
as major. Continuous exposure to intense temperature can result in heat stress, sweetening,
heat exhaustion, skin burns, dehydration, muscle cramps, visual disturbance, tingling, hand
numbness and weakness, it is probably that this condition will require hospital treatment.

There are eight workers working in this section in two shifts and are at risk

Field operator and other workers were present in the Utilities Section for performing multiple
tasks and temperature was high because of closed nature of area.

The risk is present in the Utilities Section and affects workers only that are working in this
area.
How effective the action is likely to be in
controlling the risk. This should include:
 the intended impact of the action;
 justification for the timescale that
you indicated in your risk
assessment; and
 whether you think the action will
fully control the risk
There should be replacement of damaged insulation with adequate, strong, robust enough
and satisfactory insulation material and this will maintain the temperature and this will be the
major impact on the working environment because it will maintain the temperature at work
area and workers will not suffer from any ill-health condition. The likelihood and the severity
will be decreased and workers morale will be increased.

I have set 3 months’ time scale for this to be completed. I gave this time because action will
take time to be agree by the finance manager and finance manager will allocate the budged
for this installation. I hope this will be completed on this time.

This action will maximum control the temperature at work as replace the damaged
insulation with adequate, strong, robust enough and satisfactory insulation material. Action
with suitable controls can help to provide the fully control the risk.
Part 4: Review, communicate and check
Suggested word counts for each section:
 Planned review date or period and reasoning for this: 50 - 100 words
 How the risk assessment findings will be communicated and who needs to know the information: 100 - 150 words
 Follow up on the risk assessment: 100 - 150 words.
Planned review date/period with
reasoning
The company has a policy of reviewing the risk assessment every 12 months. So, I have
set reviewed date after 12 months. The risk assessment will be reviewed on 3
rd
August
2023. I also ensured that the firm would evaluate the risk assessment before the deadline if
the process changed, the number of workers changed, the machine and equipment
changed, an accident occurred, or an event occurred.
How the risk assessment findings will be
communicated AND who you need to tell
To address the safety issues, I will convene a meeting with the General Manager and the
Human Resources Manager. Then I'll offer a summary of the results and actions for the
production area, CCR room, maintenance workshop, and other parts. I will provide a
comprehensive presentation on all of these findings to all of the managers, supervisors,
engineers, and HSE officers. All risk assessment findings will be given during the next open

19. This is a Sample, don’t use it
Learner number: Learner name: Page 19 of 19
suggestion box discussion, as well as a brief summary to all personnel. To educate
employees about safety, a description of the risk assessment and steps performed must be
posted on corporate websites and banners. All of this information will be delivered by email
to the company's workers.
How you will follow up on the risk
assessment to check that the actions
have been carried out
I'll set a one-month reminder before implementing each activity. I'll follow up with the
people who are engaged to see how far each section has proceeded and what measures
have been made in accordance with the manner of statement. I'll check to see whether all
of the activities are on track and what obstacles or reasons are preventing them from being
completed. If any of the stages are not done, I will contact the relevant person and ask him
why we are not accomplishing our objectives and what changes should be done to fulfil
those objectives. I will engage with the worker for further improvement and information, as
well as with the employer, to determine if further resources are available for the activity.
The responsible person will recommend to the employer any actions that are severely
overdue, such as late project completion.
