Hemp final
The document outlines the Hazard and Effects Management Program (HEMP) which is a structured process for identifying and managing hazards and their potential effects through 6 steps: 1) identifying hazards, 2) assessing risks, 3) developing controls, 4) determining if risk is as low as reasonably practicable, 5) planning recovery, and 6) recording the process; the goal of HEMP is to reduce risks to assets, people, the environment and reputation.

- 3. HEMP Hazard and EffectsManagement Program 3 • The HEMP is at the heart of our HSE Management Systems. It’s where the planning turns into action. • HSE Risk Management relies primarily on HEMP and it’s associated tools.
- 4. What is aHEMP? • All our activities have the potential to harm people and the environment or cause damage to assets, financial loss, and to adversely impact on reputation. • To manage these risks, we use a Hazard and Effects Management Process (HEMP) • A HEMP is a structured approach to identifying and managing the hazards and potential effects of these activities. • The overall objective is to reduce risks to As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). • A HEMP evaluation can be detailed e.g. an HSE Case for a high-risk activity such as Road Transport • ... or a relatively short e.g. For a single task in a mechanical workshop such as changing a tyre. 4

Consider the hazards arising during the entire lifecycle of an asset or activity; • Planning, mobilisation & set-up • Routine conditions • Abnormal conditions (e.g. weather extremes & use of back-ups) • Reasonably foreseeable incidents and/or emergency situations • Demobilisation • Past activities As a start, consider these hazards: • Flammable and explosive substances • Chemicals and toxic substances • Land Transport • Working at heights above 2m • Confined spaces • Slips, trips and falls • Machinery with moving parts • Extreme temperatures • Electricity • Objects under induced stress • Lifting and moving equipment • Security 8 Step1 Hazard Identification

- 10. 2 – ASSESSthe Risk Use the Matrix to: • Assess the risks of the identified hazards by assessing the likelihood of the effect occurring and its consequence. • Categorise each risk as Low, Medium, or High. 10
- 11. 2 – ASSESSthe Risk
- 12. • Risk isthe likelihood that a specific consequence will occur within a specified period • Risk is therefore a function of the severity of a consequence and the likelihood of the consequence • In using the PDO RAM, we consider the worst credible consequence to People, Assets, Environment and Reputation • Likelihood is HISTORICAL (has it happened before in The location? The organisation? The industry?) • Risk rating (ranking) is the resulting position on the RAM RISK = Consequences X Likelihood IncreasingIncreasing LikelihoodLikelihood ofof Top EventTop Event Increasing RiskIncreasing Risk Identification Of Consequences And Assessment Of Risks 2 – ASSESS the2 – ASSESS the RiskRisk Increasing Consequence Severity
- 13. 3- CONTROL therisk • Following assessment of risks, HEMP requires that controls be applied in order to reduce risks to ALARP. • Controls should focus on risk elimination and reduction before recovery measures. • Controls should include preventative and mitigation measures involving active, passive and/or operational systems. • Examples of operational systems to be considered include: • Training programs • Monitoring programs • Procedures & work instructions • Management plans • Emergency response plans • Audit and inspection programs. 13
- 14. 4 – Isthe Risk ‘ALARP’? “As low as reasonably practicable”. Risks are ALARP when the time, effort, difficulty and cost of further risk reduction measures have been assessed as being unreasonable in regard to the additional risk reduction. ALARP has NOT been achieved if, a small increase in cost and effort, could greatly reduce a risk. 14 Acceptable level of risk 61 2 3 4 5 Level of risk remaining after control option is applied Cost & effort of implementing each control option Control Options Risk $$ & Effort
- 15. 5 – RECOVERINGif the controls fail Once the controls required to reduce the risk to ALARP have been identified, an additional examination of the hazard control measures should be made This will to identify how recovery from a hazard can be accomplished if all of the controls fail. Note they will be recorded as another control • Physical equipment (e.g. roll- bars, seat belts, airbags). • Action plans for emergency response (e.g. call-out duty roster). • Curative measures (e.g. medical facilities, first aid training). • Compensative measures (e.g. financial payments). 15

- 18. 6 – RECORD6– RECORD • The final step of HEMP is formally recording the process. • This is typically done by recording the findings in a HEMP Register • Please note this is a live document. • It must be reviewed and changed regularly • It must be used onsite by the people planning the jobs A HEMP register should include: • A description of the hazard. • Probable threats • Possible consequences • Escalation factors increasing the likelihood or severity of an incident. • asks undertaken to provide or maintain controls or recovery measures (HSE-Critical Tasks). • Positions responsible for HSE- Critical Tasks (HSE-Critical Positions). 18
