This document discusses occupational health and safety (OHS) management systems. It outlines the key elements of an OHS management system including identifying hazards and risks, managing risks, establishing policies and objectives, and monitoring performance. It also describes the purpose of an OHS management system in establishing procedures for risk assessment and control, integrating OHS into business processes, and meeting performance standards. Planning, doing, checking, and acting (PDCA) is discussed as a framework for an OHS management system.

1. OSH Management System
Risk Assessment Based on
Occupational Health & Safety Assessment Series 18001
Ar. Mohd Jamil Bin Mohd Hamberi

2. OH&S Management System

3. Organizations are responsible for risk that arises
out of their own workplaces.
* Management need to be committed to OH&S:-
- The old assumption that workers are
responsible for causing accidents are not
entirely valid.
* Self-regulated
* Proactive management approach
THE NEW APPROACH TO OH&S
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

4. 1. Identify regulatory requirements –
compliance to local and national laws.
2. Identify hazards and risks – pertinent to
current work activities.
3. Manage risks – introduce controls to
manage risks to as low as reasonably
practicable (ALARP).
PURPOSE OF
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 1

5. 1. Establish a policy and objectives –
introduce plans to manage the risks that
has been identified. Implement the plans.
2. Monitor performance – obtain feedback
and make the necessary changes to the
policy or objectives if required.
PURPOSE OF
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 2

6. 1. Voluntary management system
2. Integrates OH&S hazards into business process
3. Identify, assess and control hazards relating to
business
4. Anticipates and meets OH&S performance
expectations (national / international level)
5. Applicable to any organization, regardless of size,
type, or level of maturity

7. 1. Plan
Assess risk, identify applicable regulations
2. Do
Identify responsibility and accountability, training, communicate,
control and prepare for emergencies.
3. Check
Monitor, Record, Audit (Check, Examination, Review,Assessment).
4. Act to improve
PDCA IN OH&S
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

8. Planning for hazard identification, risk
assessment and risk control.
•The organization shall establish and maintain
procedures for the ongoing identification of
hazards, assessment of risks and the
implementation of the necessary control
measures.
PLANNING 1
(One of the elements of OHSAS 18001)

9. •Activities shall include routine and non-
routine of all personnel having access to work
place or it facilities including subcontractors
and visitors.
•Results of assessments must be documented
and kept up to date ( in the event of new
equipment or change of process).
PLANNING 2

10. 1. Relevant to job activity.
2. Proactive rather than reactive. Need to
uncover hazards.
3. Able to classify risks.
4. Risks can be identified, controlled or
eliminated.
5. Control measures need to be specified.
Methodology For Hazard Identification And
Risk Assessment

11. 1. Set up sub-committees in each individual
work section.
2. Get them to make a list of all current work
activities ( routine and non-routine).
3. Use a Risk Assessment Matrix to conduct an
initial assessment to determine activities that
constitute highest risk to employees,
subcontractors or visitors.
How do we do it ?

12. 4. From the initial assessment, conduct a detailed
risk assessment on the highest risk activity by
breaking the activity into the basic job
sequence.
5. From basic job sequence, determine the
inherent hazards (with current controls in
place) and the controls required to mitigate
them.
How do we do it ?

13. 6. Plan and allocate resources to ensure controls
are effective. Place priority on activity with
highest risk to safety.
7. Person responsible to be nominated to
administer controls effectively in the agreed
time frame.
How do we do it ?

14. How can we succeed ?
1. Management must give endorsement.
2. Set performance standards – use industry and current legal
standards.
3. Education and Training – provide training to the risk
assessment sub-committee members.

15. How can we succeed ?
4. Task selection (prioritize) – Take action on job activities
with the highest risks.
5. Group involvement – Risk assessment sub-committee is to
submit their findings to the OSH Committee. OSH
Committee to submit to management for approval.
6. Documented, acted upon and reviewed.

16. How To Prepare A Job Safety Analysis (JSA)
 How to determine the hazards in a job
activity.
1. List down all work activities with the
highest risk.
2. Break each work activity into sequential
steps.
3. Identify all hazards.
4. Conduct initial risk assessment.
RISK = probability x severity/seriousnous.

17. How To Control Hazards
1. Specify Control Measures.
a. Eliminate hazard.
b. Engineering Controls / Isolation.
c. Administrative Controls.
d. Personal Protective Equipment.
2. Implement and Monitor.

20. TERMS AND DEFINITION
• RISK ASSESSMENT
• Overall process of estimating
the magnitude of risk and
deciding whether or not the
risk is tolerable
• SAFETY
• Freedom from unacceptable
risk of harm
• TOLERABLE RISK
• Risk that has Commitmentd to a
level that can be endured by the
organization having regard to its
legal obligations an its own OH&S
policy
