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. Work carried out by workers in caissons with a compressed air atmosphere. 9. Work involving the use of explosives. 10. Work involving the assembly or dismantling of heavy prefabricated components.
