3. • Risk assessment is used to describe a method by which we :
• Identify the hazards and risk factors that have the potential to cause harm
(hazard identification).
• Analyze and evaluate the risk associated with that hazard (risk analysis,
and risk evaluation).
• Determine appropriate ways by which we can eliminate the hazard or
control the risk when the hazard cannot be eliminated (risk control).

4. A Job Risk Analysis (JRA) is a procedure done:
• To help integrate accepted safety and health principles and practices into a
particular task or job operation.
• While Risk Assessment is a systematic process of evaluating the
potential risks that may be involved in a projected activity or undertaking.

7. The objectives is to reduce the risk at job to an acceptable level by
following the steps given below:
• Identify all potential hazards encountered in a defined activity.
• Determine the appropriate and sufficient risk reduction measures.
• Develop an action plan to implement the agreed risk-reduction
measures.

9. RISK ASSESSMENT
PRINCIPLES
Following are the Principles
of job risk assessment:
• Severity
• Probability
• Risk
S * P = R 9

10. Severity:
• The severity is the consequences of an incident.
• Five categories have been organised into four main categories.
• Minor
• Modrate
• Serious
• Major
RISK ASSESSMENT PRINCIPLES

11. Probability
• The Probability of is the chances of occurrence
• Very Unlikely
• Unlikely
• Possible
• Probable

12. Risk
Risk is a situation involving exposure to danger.
• Acceptable
• Tolerable
• Unacceptable
RISK ASSESSMENT PRINCIPLE

13. • Awkward postures
• Cold temperatures
• Contact stress
• Force
• Repetition
• Static postures

14. The physical work activities and conditions OSHA has included:
• Physical demands of work.
• Workplace and workstation conditions and layout.
• Characteristics of object(s) that are handled or used.
• Environmental conditions.

PHYSICAL WORK ACTIVITIES AND CONDITIONS

15. PHYSICAL WORK ACTIVITIES AND CONDITIONS
15
Physical demands of work:
• Exerting considerable physical effort to complete a motion.
• Sitting for a long time.
• Using hand as a hammer.
• Using hands or body as a clamp to hold object while performing tasks.
• Objects or people are moved significant distances.
(www.ehs.iastate.edu)

16. Layout and condition of the workplace or workstation:
• Performing tasks that involve long reaches.
• Working surfaces too high or too low.
• Vibrating working surfaces, machinery or vehicles.
• Floor surfaces are uneven, slippery or sloped.
• Vertical reach is below knees or above the shoulders.
(www.ehs.iastate.edu)
PHYSICAL WORK ACTIVITIES AND CONDITIONS

17. Characteristics of the object(s) handled:
• Using hand and power tools.
• Gloves bulk, too large or too small.
• Objects or people moved are heavy.
• Object is slippery or has no handles.
Environmental conditions:
• Cold Temperature

PHYSICAL WORK ACTIVITIES AND CONDITIONS

18. In addition, observe whether workers are:
• Modifying their tools, equipment or work area.
• Shaking their arms and hands.
• Rolling their shoulders.
• Bringing products such as back belts or wrist braces into the workplace.
These behaviors may indicate that workers are experiencing ergonomic issues.
Talk to them and review their work to see if any risk factors for Material Safety
Data Sheet are present. (www.enablon.com)
JOB RISK FACTORS

19. • First Identify Risks or Hazards of Job what you are doing at work place.
• Check manufacturers' instructions or data sheets for chemicals and
equipment.
• Look Back at your accident and ill-health records.
• Take account of non-routine operations.
• Remember to think about long-term hazards to health.
• Regularly review your risk assessment.
STRATIGIES TO ELIMINATE JOB RISK FACTORS

20. • Trying a less risky option.
• Preventing access to the hazards.
• Organising your work to reduce exposure to the hazard.
• Issuing protective equipment.
• Providing welfare facilities such as first-aid.
• Involving and consulting with workers.
