2. * If you’re worried about confidentiality, you can invent a false name and location for your organisation but, all other information provided must be
factual.
You should aim to complete this section in 100 - 200 words.
Note: this section can be completed after you have competed your risk assessment.
Outline how the risk assessment was
carried out this should include:
 sources of information consulted;
 who you spoke to; and
 how you identified:
 the hazards;
 what is already being done; and
 any additional controls/actions
that may be required.
A semi quantative risk assessment has been followed and risk matrix is being annexed in this
document. After the risk has been identified, management decides what corrective action (if any)
is necessary to manage the hazard at an acceptable and ALARP (as low as reasonably possible)
risk level. Depending on the nature of the specific hazard(s), this may require different steps to:
Prevent the hazards, mitigate the severities, and recover from the severities of incidents
 I started by looking to see if the ILO www.ilo.org had any Codes of Practice relating to
garage work, for example, At the start of the risk assessment the codes of practices
generated by American Petroleum Institute (API) as instructed by project contract, and
with the help of relevant standards and regulations information from www.hse.gov.uk with
the addition of its information from www.osha.gov.which helps to identifying the hazards
and control risks and also explain that how to plan, organize, control, monitor the ongoing
activities and to review health and safety standards at the project and achieving healthy
and safe construction sites.
 The Risk assessment has been carried out after workshop meetings that have been
conducted with site manager and prefabrication supervisor and surveillance conducted
among the site workforce to find the proper control measures provided are not the that is
facilitating safe work completion.
 The laydown yard has been provided with 3 portacabins site inspections has been carried
out to stand on the actual situation for the laydown yard and identify the any gap in
implementation of the existing control measures.
 PPE and welfare facilities needs to be reviewed as it has been highlighted by workers that
welfare facilities are improper, and type of hand gloves are not matching with the
deferent tasks, however, it has been mentioned by workers that a segregation has
been made between vehicle and pedestrian movement and storage area is in
order, both safe and unsafe conditions mentioned by workers were indicating that workers
have been well trained through safety induction, so they are able identify the risks related
to workplace.

Moral , General Legal and financial arguments for ALL actions
Moral, general legal and financial
arguments
- At AIS we aim to improve our safety standards to ensure our employees are always safe and our
environment is safe for those who work in it. We know best that maintaining a good image is
completely reliant on how our business is run. We ensure quality and safety in all of our projects,
but we however know that an accident is not impossible while having a safety plan and risk
assessment in progress. AIS needs more to improve that everyone is lively about their working
techniques and working methods, getting them related with procedure making, aware of risk and
consequences and familiar of safe working frameworks will ensure they are totally busy and fully
engaged with safe work methodologies. A single mistake (unwanted or undesired event) which
could lead to much higher consequences than its direct result that will not only will going to affect
the victim’s that in result of injuries or disabilities but also going to effect the victim’s family by
financially that lead to long term effect on families so AIS has to protect all employees within these
moral reasons.
- Financial aspects of health and safety management system, we can decide this by the amount of
money related OSH system and consequences of unfortunate event including direct and indirect
cost. so expenses verses outcomes and results of arranging new trolley for compressed gas
cylinders, proper storage as well as inspection by competent person or/ and by assigning
competent and trained worker for working at height as well as working in confined space or by
providing sufficient PPEs like respiratory protection as well some mentioned above. By
implementing these, these could avoid any unfortunate or unexpected event/ mishap which could
lead to minor to catastrophic as a consequence. So by comparing these recommendation verses
outcomes, it’s very much in profit for organization to comply with these actions as result cost in
terms of fire or explosion from compressed cylinders, falling person from height and untrained
person working in confined space without proper and appropriate PPEs which be in terms of injury
to facilities. If comparing these, the outcome and consequences of undesirable event as like ice

- AIS must meet the requirements of under the ILO Code of practices (COP) Occupational safety
and health convention 1981, C155 and Recommendation R164, identifies some basic general
legal duties of employers towards their employees in Article 16.That the employers shall be
required to ensure that so far as is reasonably practicable the work place machinery,
equipment’s and process under their control or safe and without risk to health and ensure that
employers shall require to provide necessary adequate PPE,s to prevent adverse effect on health
.
- Similarly Health and Safety at Work Act (HSWA) 1974 shows act places a legal duty on
employers to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, the health, safety, and welfare of
employees, and to ensure that employees and others are kept safe. Under the Act you have an
obligation to ensure any potential risk of work-related violence is eliminated or controlled. AIS is
legally responsible for welfare, health and safety in the workplace and use the term “so far as is
reasonably practicable”, which has to set the objectives that workplace should be safe place to
work. Failure to providing safe workplace, AIS may be fine or start prosecution fora safety failing.
AIS has to set objectives and follow to ensure that meeting the compliance needs of legislations
and to avoid criminal and /or civil prosecutions, convictions, punishment and compensatory-
where employees are able to sue in the civil courts for compensations.
Justification for action 1
Action Segregation of compressed gas cylinders, arranging trolley for all compressed gas cylinder and
displaying signage’s for working area using gas cylinders (Hazard Category-Fire)
Specific legal arguments According to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Regulation 1910.253 (Excerpt)
(b)(2)(ii) cylinders shall be stored in a well-protected, well-ventilated, dry location, at least 20 feet
(6.1m) from highly combustible materials such as oil or excelsior. Cylinders should be stored in
assigned places away from elevators, stairs, or gangways. Assigned storage spaces shall be located
where cylinders will not be knocked over or damaged by passing or falling objects, or subject to
tampering by unauthorized persons. Cylinders shall not be kept in unventilated enclosures such as
lockers and cupboards”
Moreover, AIS is complying with ILO Convention and Recommendations as well as the SAUDI specific
legislation and API standard as required by project specification. The International Labor Organization
(ILO) sets out a Recommendation on Occupational Safety and Health (R164) that supplements
Convention C155. Part IV of the Recommendation specifically states that the undertaking
(organization) must: • provide and maintain workplaces, machinery, and equipment, and use work
methods, which are as safe and without risk to health as is reasonably practicable.
Consideration of likelihood AND severity The severity of the injuries recent from a compressed gas cylinder is more often and critical in nature
as the severity of the injury does not associated with compressed gas. Different nature of hot work like
NEBOSH Trainer: Abdul Jabbar Qaisrani Baloch Page

18. gas cutting, gas welding, structure cutting will be considered critical due to its nature of injuries and
severity. Most of the activities in construction site regarding by using compressed gas cylinders which
containing higher risk as well as the severity which is cannot be avoidable. Therefore, all activities
related to hot work at site and must be dealt with suitable control measure to control any undesired
injury or fatality
How effective the action is likely to be in
controlling the risk. This should include:
 the intended impact of the action;
 justification for the timescale that you
indicated in your risk assessment;
and
 whether you think the action will fully
control the risk.
The segregation of compressed gas cylinders is the most important and most prioritized action that
AIS has to perform. I recommended constructing a store for compressed gases with heavy-walled
metal cylinders designed, produced and tested for use with compressed gases. And also, on site area
it will be more appropriate to communicate with crew supervisors and specially the workers who are
involving hot work activities to secure cylinders upright with a chain or strap in a proper cylinder cart.
And also as HSE personnel it is our prime responsibility to aware the workers regarding flashback
arrestor that must attached with compressed gas cylinders.
I gave one Month time frame to construct a store for Compressed gas. Project manager will discuss
with purchasing specialist to allocate budget for this new proposed structure. Constructing grey
structure and brick work will take one month to complete this task.
After constructing of separate store risk from the fire hazards will be controlled in effective. Elimination
step will safe all work force from fire hazards cause of gas cylinders
I hope that AIS will follow recommendation for safety of their workers
Justification for action 2
Action Standardized and suitable scaffold materials/components to be used by assigning and erect or
dismantle by trained and certified scaffolders by following safe system of work (Hazard Category-
working at height)
Specific legal arguments According to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 1926.450 1926.451(a)(6)
”Scaffolds shall be designed by a qualified person and shall be constructed and loaded in accordance
with that design. Non-mandatory Appendix A to this subpart contains examples of criteria that will
enable an employer to comply with paragraph (a) of this section.”
Moreover, AIS is complying with ILO Convention and Recommendations as well as the SAUDI specific
legislation and API standard as required by project specification. The International Labour
Organization (ILO) sets out a Recommendation on Occupational Safety and Health (R164) that
supplements Convention C155. Part IV of the Recommendation specifically states that the undertaking
(organisation) must: • provide and maintain workplaces, machinery, and equipment, and use work
methods, which are as safe and without risk to health as is reasonably practicable.

19. Consideration of likelihood AND severity Scaffolding activity is one of the most important parts of a construction site and on other hand the
severity rate and the risk associations is too high. There is likelihood to collapse a scaffold if
substandard scaffolding Components is used for the erection and make three- or four-story platform.
And Similarly, the risk will be higher, and the potential position of risk will more increase due to
untrained employees who’s erecting or dismantling scaffold.
How effective the action is likely to be in
controlling the risk. This should include:
 the intended impact of the action;
 justification for the timescale that you
indicated in your risk assessment;
and
 whether you think the action will fully
control the risk.
Scaffolds can pose serious risks if proper precautions and working at heights control measures aren’t
observed. Considering that scaffold hazards cause serious injuries and even fatalities every year, it is
important to get a thorough grasp on how to avoid danger and have an appropriate set of scaffolding
safety regulations. Therefore, for controlling the risk and to implement a proper check and balance for
the erection of scaffold structure must be designed and endorsed by professional engineer if
necessary. Because he is the one to verify the standard components before scaffold erection and
rejected the substandard scaffolding components. And allow only approved scaffold contractors to
carry out modifications which carry out pre-erection planning.
I Gave 3 weeks’ timeframe for hiring an approved scaffold contractors to complete this task. Project
Executive body will take this time to discuss and hire a competent scaffold contractor .After hiring a
competent contractor risk of scaffolding collapse, slip, trip from the scaffolding platform will reduce .
AIS will recruit scaffold contractor to be compliance with legal requirement of country and properity of
their workers
Justification for action 3
Action Replace human resource with Auto painting machine while working in Confined space (Category-
Confined Space)
Specific legal arguments According to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 1910.146(c)(2)
If the workplace contains confined spaces, the employer shall inform exposed employees, by posting
danger signs or by any other equally effective means, of the existence and location of and the danger
posed by the confined spaces. Moreover, AIS is complying with ILO Convention and
Recommendations as well as the SAUDI specific legislation and API standard as required by project
specification. The International Labor Organization (ILO) sets out a Recommendation on Occupational
Safety and Health (R164) that supplements Convention C155. Part IV of the Recommendation
specifically states that the undertaking (organization) must: • provide and maintain workplaces,
machinery, and equipment, and use work methods, which are as safe and without risk to health as is
reasonably practicable.
Consideration of likelihood AND severity Confined spaces are very high-risk activities if there are chances of presence of toxic gases,
NEBOSH Trainer: Abdul Jabbar Qaisrani Baloch Page
19 of 21

20. insufficiency or enrichment of oxygen or presence of carbon mono oxide. Therefore, all activities
subject to confined spaces must be handled with high priority. Pipe coating and painting activities can
directly cause damage to the respiratory system, which would affect the whole body as fumes and
gases absorbed in blood and transfer to whole body causing different more health issues for the
worker.
How effective the action is likely to be in
controlling the risk. This should include:
 the intended impact of the action;
 justification for the timescale that you
indicated in your risk assessment;
and
 whether you think the action will fully
control the risk.
Confined space incidents due to presence of toxic gases or the presence of enrichment of oxygen &
other gases level could affect the workers inside in no matter of time, it is very important for each and
every confined space activity to provide a proper rescue plan with all necessary additional equipment
in the presence of ERT (Emergency Response Team) as they will first verified all requirements, rules
and regulations with proper gas testing, hole watch man and with log sheet. As the observation arise
regarding painting jobs inside the confined space so I will recommended further safety control to
communicate the painting supervisors that do not mix paint inside the confined space and after
completion of painting work, all containers of paint must be taken also not store paint, solvent and
thinner in the confined space and also use proper work gloves, Protective eyewear, masks &
respirators, Coveralls, hard hats, fall protection, Knee Pads.
I gave 3 Month timescale to replace manual painting with automatic spray guns or suitable painting
machine. This time will be given for discussion, purchasing and training to workers about usage of
automatic painting machine in the working zone. Installation of Automatic machine is a method of
Engineering controls .it will reduce the risk ALARP (as low as reasonably practicable ).
AIS follow recommendation of replacing manual painting cause it will not just for safe practice but also
for to minimize their labor cost.
Part 4: Review, communicate and check
Suggested word counts for each section:
 Planned review date or period and reasoning for this: 50 - 100 words
 How the risk assessment findings will be communicated and who needs to know the information: 100 - 150 words
 Follow up on the risk assessment: 100 - 150 words.
Planned review date/periodwith
reasoning
As per the company technical department reports and company policy to review risk assessment every
annual. Therefore, I recommend reviewing date for 20 -11- 2022 or upon required according to site
condition and legal requirement.
How the risk assessment findings will be
communicated AND who you need to tell
After the completion of the risk assessment I will arrange meeting with the site top management who’s
directly involve on site ongoing activities of the project .And I will present presentation to site
NEBOSH Trainer: Abdul Jabbar Qaisrani Baloch Page
20 of 21

21. management and provide summary of the findings of the risk assessment that requires action to be
taken for the further improvements and also better to communicate with all level of employees in the tool
box talk meeting every morning before any start up activities and also it will be more understandable to
displayed the risk assessment findings on main notice board as well as assembly point signboard .
Therefore the HSE manger also recommended to display the findings of the risk assessment in every
notice board at site and will communicated through tool box meeting, company website and every job
safety analysis and other safety related documents which will clear to all employees and will
understandable
How you will follow up on the risk
assessment to check that the actions
have been carried out
After agreeing with site management on recommended dates for close out report, which will mention all
those required further actions in an open status, corresponding to the concerned supervisor. A strategy
of check and balance will be adopted for the follow up on the actions recommended by developing and
improving the permit to work system, JSA and risk assessment. The supervisor will be inquired about the
progress of the actions, if not then the concerned manager will be communicated during weekly HSE
meeting in which all those pending recommend action will be discussed. If there is any kind of difficulties
with agreed actions with management will be discuss through email and if required, I will visit the site to
solve the issues. And for furthermore, action against non-compliance, misconduct or allowing workers to
engage in unsafe acts or conditions to be adopted as well for the effective execution of the
recommended actions.
