Objective
Identify hazards that are present in workplace
Assess the safety and health risk in this workplace
Provide recommendations to controlthese risks
Receive feedback from site staff about their health and safety
concerns
Propose a review system to continuously improve safety and health
of workers

Method of Risk Assessment and Risk matrix

used
Review of incident reports and relevant
document

Review of Material and Chemical Safety Data Sheet.

Review of Accidents report and Medical records.
Review Industry Statistical reports.

Work place inspection

Inspection to identify hazards.
Statistical high risk area.
On-site and work process survey.

Job hazard analysis

Identify in each work process.
Critical work with high risk.
New machinery/equipment.

Risk Assessment (Risk Estimation and Risk

Evaluation)
Adapted from HIRARC guidelines - DOSH
Risk Matrix
RELATIVE RISK = SEVERITY x LIKELIHOOD
Severity is given a scale of 1 to 5 with the higher
number indicating an incident with the most severe
impact.
Likelihood is scaled from 1 to 5 with the highest
number indicating an event that is most likely to
happen.

SEVERITY Definition Table

CALAMITY

Multiple fatalities, massive damage of property. and production cannot be restored.

FATALITY

Estimated one dead. Big damage to property.

SERIOUS

Serious non fatal injury, permanent disability.

LIGHT

Temporary disability.

MINOR

Cut, bruises, or first aid cases.

LIKELIHOOD Definition Table

Working Activity

Hazard

Justification

Mixing additive to
the tank at height at
mixer tank 1.

Doing heavy
work while at
height

Severity
Estimated one dead
Fatal because falling from height will expose the body to impact on hard or sharp
objects. In the factory hall, the tank height is 5 meters high and due to many
contributing factors and the workers are often working on a metal platform might
slippery and with no arm rail to go up..

Doing heavy
work while at

Likelihood
Probably happen and Would not be Unusual
Workers feedback indicated that during this process, utmost attention is paid to
positioning and getting the work material in position. Because of this, the workers do
not pay attention to their own safety. Everyone focusing on doing work, including the
supervisor whom is responsible for the safety of the operation. In the past, 3 incidents
of workers failing down from steps height were while doing the activity.
