The document discusses hazard identification and risk assessment for the Radio Frequency Laboratory. It defines key terms like hazard, hazard control, and risk. The purposes of conducting a hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk control (HIRARC) process are outlined. Types of hazards like health, safety and environmental hazards are described. The steps of HIRARC including classifying work activities, identifying hazards, risk assessment, preparing risk control plans and reviewing are summarized. Methods of qualitative, semi-quantitative and quantitative risk analysis are also highlighted.

3.  To identify types of hazard in Radio Frequency
Laboratory
 To make Risk Assessments
 To suggest Risk Control to Organization
 To implementing Risk Controls
 To review Risk Controls

4. HAZARD
 A source or situation with a potential for harm in terms of
human injury or ill health, damage to property and
damage to the environment or a combination of these.
HAZARD CONTROL
 the process of implementing measures to reduce the risk
associated with a hazard.
RISK
 A combination of likelihood of occurrence and severity of
injury or damage.
Risk = Likelihood x Severity

5. The purpose o HIRARC are as follows:
 To identify all the factors that may cause harm to
employees
 To enable organization of FTK UTeM to plan, introduce
and monitor preventive measures to ensure that the risks
are adequately controlled at all times.
 Law of requirement:
(a) The Occupational Safety and Health
Act 1994.
(b) Control of Industrial Major Accident Hazards
(c) Use and Standard of Exposure of Chemical
Hazardous to Health Regulation

6. HIRARC activities shall be plan and conducted:
 Organization
o Intending to continuously improve OSHA Management System
 For situation
o Where hazard appear to pose significant threat.
o Uncertain whether existing controls are adequate
o Before implementing corrective or preventive measures.

8. a) HEALTH HAZARDS
 An occupational health hazard is any agent that can
cause illness to an individual.
 Example: chemical (battery acid and solvent), biological
hazard (bacteria, viruses, dust and molds, energy source
that harm the body like electric current, heat, light,
vibration, noise and radiation.
b) SAFETY HAZARD
 Any force that can cause injury or damage to property.
 Example: slipping/tripping hazard (wires run across the
floors and fire hazard ( Flammable material)

9. c) ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD
 A environmental hazard that release to the environment
that may cause harm or deleterious effects.
 Example: A worker who drains a glycol system and
release the liquid to a storm sewer.

10. The Laboratory assistant shall develop a hazard
identification and assessment methodology taking into
account the following documents and information:
 Any hazardous occurrence investigation report
 First aid records and minor injury records
 Any user complaints and comments.
 Any report under the regulation of Occupational safety
and Health Act, 1994
 The record of hazardous substances in Radio Frequency
Laboratory.

11. Types of
hazard
PHYSICAL HAZARDS
 Factors within the environment
can harm the body without
necessarily touching it.
SAFETY
HAZARDS
any unsafe
condition that
cause injury,
illness and death.
ERGONOMIC HAZARDS
Occur when the type of work,
body positions and working
conditions put strain on body.
BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS :
substances that pose a
threat to the health of
living organisms, primarily
that of humans such as
medical waste.
CHEMICAL
HAZARDS
exposed to any
chemical preparation
in the workplace in
any form (solid,
liquid, gas).

12. Uses words to

13. LIKELIHOOD OF AN OCCURRENCE
 Example Situation: A small spill of bleach from a
container when filling a spray bottle is most likely to
occur during every shift. Alternatively, a leak of diesel
fuel from a secure holding tank may be less probable.
LIKELIHOOD (L) EXAMPLE RATING
Most likely The most likely result of the hazard/ event being
realized
5
Possible Has a good chance of occurring and is not unusual 4
Conceivable Might be occur at sometime in future 3
Remote Has not been known to occur after many years 2
Inconceivable Is practically impossible and has never occurred 1

14. SEVERITY OF HAZARD
 Severity are based upon an increasing level of severity
to an individual’s health, the environment or to property.
SEVERITY (S) EXAMPLE RATING
Catastrophic Numerous fatalities irrecoverable property
damage and productivity
5
Fatal Approximately one single fatality major
property damage if hazard is realized
4
Serious Non-Fatal injury, permanent disability 3
Minor Disabling but not permanent injury 2
Negligible Minor abrasions, bruises, cuts, first aid type
injury.

15.  Is the process of evaluating the risk to safety and health
from hazard at work.
 Types;
a) Qualitative
b) Semi-Quantitative
c) Quantitative
 Calculation:
L x S
Where; L = Likelihood
S = Severity

16.  Identifying the Hazards
 Evaluate the risk and control it from happening again.
 Record the finding.
 Review the assessment and revise it if necessary.
 Assessing the risks.

20. RISK RATING SCORE ACTION
HIGH (H) 15-25 a) Informed at the Highest Management immediately.
b) Removed immediately and not be tolerate.
c) Approval of the Budget directly to NC.
MEDIUM HIGH
(MH)
10-14 a) Inform to the Faculty Management or Dean
b) Should be eliminated or control within a month.
c) Approval of the budget directly to Dean or committee
of OSHA
MODERATE (M) 5-9 a) Internal Solution
b) Communicate and give a warning to residents of
UTeM, Notice and enforcement division level of
security.
c) Administrative control such as SOP.
d) Monitoring has been conduct in 3-6 month.
e) Depending on the fund’s annual and committee
support.
TOLERABLE (L) 1-4 a) Acceptable risk.
b) Do not need special control.
c) It should be constantly monitored and recorded.

21. a) ELIMINATE :
Getting rid of a hazardous job, tools, process, machine or substances is
perhaps the best way of protecting workers.
b) SUBSTITUTE:
Replace or change the hazard or harmful practices
c) ISOLATION:
Isolate hazard or dangerous working practices and kept it away from workers.
d) ENGINEERING CONTROL:
Design, isolation from sources of danger, fence and barrier
e) ADMINISTRATION CONTROL:
Safe work procedure and specific sequence of steps to complete the work
safely
f) PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT(PPE) :
An equipment which is intended to be worn or
held by a person at work and which protects him against one or more risks to
his health or safety.
