1.0 PURPOSE:
To describe the measures to be implemented within AJCI for the identification of hazards, and
for the assessment and control of health and safety risks. The objective is to systematically
examine workplace hazards, assess thoseassociated risks and use the results to prioritize safety
management efforts andresources.
1
2.0 SCOPE:
This procedure is applicable to the AJCI, including:0 • r o u t i n e a n d n o n - r o u t i n e
a c t i v i t i e s ; • activities of all personnel having access to the workplace (includingsubcontractors
and visitors);
0
• facilities at the workplace, whether provided by AJCI or others.1
3.0 DEFINITIONS, TERMINOLOGIES AND ABBREVIATIONS:Hazard:
a source of potential harm or a situation with a potential to cause loss
Cause
: that which produces an effect; that which gives rise to any action,phenomenon or condition
Effect:
Something accomplished, caused or produced; a result, consequence.
Hazard identification:
D e v e l o p m e n t o f a c o m p r e h e n s i v e l i s t o f h a z a r d s associated with any
particular operation, equipment, structure, or work practice.
Risk:
the chance of something happening that should have an impact. It ismeasured in terms of
consequences and likelihood.
Consequence:
the outcomes of an event expressed qualitatively orquantitatively, being a loss, injury,
disadvantage or gain. There may be a range of possible outcomes associated with an event.
Likelihood:
used as a qualitative description of probability or frequency.
Incident:
Event that gives rise to an accident or has the potential to lead to ana c c i d e n t ( N o t e :
A n i n c i d e n t w h e r e n o i l l h e a l t h , i n j u r y , d a m a g e , o r o t h e r l o s s occurs is also
referred to as a "near-miss". The term "incident" includes "near-misses").
Accident:
Undesired event giving rise to death, ill health, injury, damage orother loss.
Event:
is an incident or situation, which occurs in a particular place during aparticular interval of time.
Risk Analysis:
a systematic use of available information to determine how oftenspecified events may occur and
the magnitude of their consequences.

Risk Assessment:
the overall process of risk analysis and risk evaluation.
Risk Evaluation:
the process used to determine risk management priorities bycomparing the level of risk against
predetermined standards, target risk levels orother criteria

7.0 PROCEDURE:7.1 Identification of Hazards and Risks
Hazard identification: the first phase of the risk assessment process is
h a z a r d identification. The purpose of hazard identification is to construct a comprehensivelist
of hazards associated with any particular asset, item of plant, work practice,work
area etc. The fact that many hazards may exist is not necessarily an indication that
thereare significant levels of risk, since the hazards may be well-controlled.
Therefore,i t i s a l w a ys i m p o r t a n t t o m a i n t a i n a c l e a r d i s t i n c t i o n b e t w e e n
t h e p r o c e s s o f identifying hazards, and subsequently analyzing the risk associated with
them.
7.1.1 Sources of Hazards
These are some examples of hazards that may need to be considered. This is nota
comprehensive list but it illustrates the extent of hazards that may need to betaken
into account.1 - F a l l i n g m a t e r i a l f r o m h e i g h t 2 - N o i s e 3-

7.1.2 Techniques used for Hazard Identification
A range of techniques exists to assist in hazard identification, each of which
isdiscussed below. Techniques include:
a. Job Safety Analysis/Risk Assessments
Risk Assessments promote safe work practices and safe systems of
work. T h e y e n s u r e t h e e m p l o y e e s ’ s a f e t y a n d h e a l t h a t t h e w o r k p l a c
e s b y d o c u m e n t i n g w o r k p r o c e d u r e s f o r e a c h t a s k t h a t e a c h e m p l o ye e h a s
t o carry out and listing the associated hazards, risks and control measures. They
provide employees with information and instruction required undersafety & health
laws and act as a part of a standardized work procedure.Please note that all of the other
techniques identified here can and shouldbe used as inputs to Risk Assessments.
b. Review of Historical Data
Reviewing historical data is an effective way of identifying those tasks/workareas that have
caused injuries or property damage in the past, and whichtherefore might present
current hazards to employees.
c. Consultation with Employees
Consultation with employees allows those persons who are exposed to theh a z a r d s
o n a d a i l y b a s i s , a n d w h o h a v e t o d e a l w i t h t h o s e h a z a r d s , t o provide
relevant information. The employees are the ones who know ‘whatr e a l l y h a p p e n s ’ , a s
o p p o s e d t o w h a t i s d i c t a t e d b y a p a r t i c u l a r p o l i c y o r procedure. Employees also
may be aware of incidents that have occurred inthe past that have not been formally documented
or reported.
