F302e Hazard Elimination and Residual Risk Register (HERRR) Designer’S Hazard Checklist F302e Hazard elimination and residual risk register (HERRR) Designer’s Hazard Checklist Notes: 1. The following example hazard checklist identifies a number of potential hazards that may be present in a generic Highways setting. Each discipline is required to develop and maintain a hazard checklist that that reflects potential hazards likely to be encountered in the industries or setting in which they work. 2. The list of potential hazards is not exhaustive. For each new project the entire checklist should be reviewed by competent staff as part of a mini workshop or brainstorming exercise to help prompt the identification of hazards in addition to those listed or already considered during an earlier review. 3 An individual hazard or an entire section (by ticking the heading) may be marked as not applicable. This records that the hazard area has been considered and judged it to be not applicable. 4. All hazards that may result in a medium to high risk rating must be thoroughly assessed and recorded in the Hazard Elimination and Residual Risk Register (HERRR). 5 Low risk hazards are those that should they occur/be realised may result in at worst first aid treatment only or no damage to assets. Potential Hazards Arising From: Comments Regulation 12(2) - Work involving particular risks (schedule 3 CDM 2015 / schedule 4 CDM (NI) 2016) 1. Work which puts workers at risk of burial under earthfalls, engulfment in swampland or falling from a height, where the risk is particularly aggravated by the nature of the work or processes used or by the environment at the place of work or site. 2. Work which puts workers at risk from chemical or biological substances constituting a particular danger to the health or safety of workers or involving a legal requirement for health monitoring. 3. Work with ionising radiation requiring the designation of controlled or supervised areas under regulation 16 of the Ionising Radiations Regulations . 4. Work near high voltage power lines. 5. Work exposing workers to the risk of drowning. 6. Work on wells, underground earthworks and tunnels. 7. Work carried out by divers having a system of air supply. 8.

    ELECTRICAL SAFETY GUIDE HELPING EMPLOYERS PROTECT WORKERS from Arc Flash and other Electrical Hazards meltric.com WHY AN EFFECTIVE SAFETY PROGRAM IS ESSENTIAL The Hazards are Real Electrical Shocks National Safety Council statistics show that electrical injuries still occur in U.S. industries with alarming frequency: • 30,000 non-fatal electrical shock accidents occur each year • 1,000 fatalities due to electrocution occur each year Recent studies also indicate that more than half of all fatal electrocutions occurred during routine construction, maintenance, cleaning, inspection, or painting activities at industrial facilities. Although electrical shock accidents are frequent and electrocutions are the fourth leading cause of industrial fatalities, few are aware of how little current is actually required to cause severe injury or death. In this regard, even the current required to light just a 7 1/2 watt, 120 volt lamp is enough to cause a fatality – if it passes across a person’s chest.

  • 9. Personal Protective Equipment
    Fabrication site construction safety recommended practice – Hazardous activities 9. Personal Protective Equipment Personal Protective Equipment is used as a last resort in the hierarchy of controls after hazard elimination, substitution, engineering and administrative controls. 1) Personal Protective Equipment is specified for all work activities based on the risk assessment. Based on typical construction activities the basic Personal Protective Equipment in the work areas is: • hard hat • safety-toed shoes • safety glasses • gloves • hearing protection (ear plugs and/or ear covers) • long sleeves and trousers or coveralls. 2) Additional Personal Protective Equipment use is based on risk. A risk assessment is completed to identify Personal Protective Equipment needs based on the site conditions and the scope of work. Where job conditions change, Personal Protective Equipment selection is reviewed to ensure it is still valid. Specialty Personal Protective Equipment (e.g. flame resistant clothing, fall protection, goggles, face shields, specialty gloves, respiratory protection, personal floatation devices) is specified by procedure and work activity or work area. Areas where specialized Personal Protective Equipment is required (e.g. high noise, radiation, chemical storage areas, hydrocarbon process areas) are marked with prominent signage, universal symbols or language of the workforce to ensure that personnel are aware of the additional hazards and requirements for Personal Protective Equipment. 3) Personal Protective Equipment is high

  • Confined Space: Entry Procedures
    ENVIRONMENT, SAFETY & HEALTH DIVISION Chapter 6: Confined Space Entry Procedures Product ID: 155 | Revision ID: 2162 | Date published: 30 March 2020 | Date effective: 30 March 2020 URL: https://www-group.slac.stanford.edu/esh/eshmanual/references/confinedProcedEntry.pdf 1 Purpose The purpose of these procedures is to ensure that entry into any confined space is planned and documented as required in order to identify and control hazards. They cover the entry method selection, planning, and documentation of entry into confined spaces of both classifications: non-permit-required confined space (NPRCS) and permit-required confined space (PRCS). They apply to workers (as entrants and attendants), confined space entry supervisors, confined space owners, area and building managers, line management, field construction and service managers, and the confined space program manager. 2 Procedures Requirements for entering a confined space depend on the hazards present as determined by information in the confined space inventory and by observation. The first step is to determine the applicable entry method as described in Section 2.1. (For a description of the inventory, see Section 2.5.4.) All entries must be reviewed and confirmed as described below and in the required form or permit. To ensure entry conditions are acceptable, forms are good for one day only. For work lasting more than one day, a separate form is needed for each day’s work. Completed forms must be kept at or near the entrance to the space during the entry. Note A signed and approved hot work permit is required for any spark or flame-producing activities to be done in the space.

    www.osha.gov OSHA Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines November 2015 Draft for Public Comment Relationship to the 1989 Guidelines and Existing Legal Requirements These guidelines update and replace the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA’s) volun- tary Safety and Health Program Management Guidelines, first published in 1989.1 They build on lessons learned about successful approaches and best practices under OSHA programs such as the Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) and the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP). The guidelines are also consistent with many national and international consensus standards.2 To help you implement the guidelines, Appendix A: Implementation Tools and Resources describes several available tools and resources. OSHA will add to these resources through the guidelines website at www.osha.gov/shpmguidelines. Appendix B: Relationship of Guidelines to Existing OSHA Standards identifies existing OSHA standards that include provisions similar or identical to action items in these guidelines. These guidelines do not change employers’ obligations to comply with the requirements of any OSHA standard. The guidelines are advisory and informational in content. They are not new standards or regulations; they also do not create any new legal obligations or alter existing obligations created by OSHA standards, OSHA regulations, or the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act). Pursuant to the OSH Act, employers must comply with safety and health standards and regulations issued and enforced either by OSHA or by an OSHA-approved State Plan. In addition, the OSH Act’s General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1), requires employers to provide their workers with a workplace free from recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious physical harm.

  • Tool Box Talk Job Hazard Analysis
    Tool Box Talk Job Hazard Analysis Job-related injuries and fatalities occur every day in the workplace. These injuries often occur because employees are not trained in the proper job procedure or the necessary hazard controls are not in place. One way to prevent workplace injuries is to establish proper job procedures and train all employees in safer and more efficient work methods. Establishing proper job procedures is one of the benefits of conducting a job hazard analysis. A job hazard analysis (JHA) is a risk assessment tool used to identify workplace hazards and establish hazard controls. A JHA is accomplished by carefully studying and recording each step of a job, identifying existing or potential job hazards (both safety and health), and determining the best way to perform the job or to reduce or eliminate these hazards. Improved job methods can reduce costs resulting from employee absenteeism and workers’ compensation, and can often lead to increased productivity. How is a JHA conducted? JHAs should be completed in the following order: 1. Break the job into steps. Do not make the steps too general or too detailed. Most jobs can be described in 6-8 steps. If a job requires many steps, divide into two or more segments, each with their own JHA. Keep the steps in order, since listing out of order may cause an oversight. Describe what is being done instead of how it is done. 2. Identify potential safety and health hazards for each step. Examine each step to identify hazardous actions, conditions and potentials that can lead to an accident.
