This document summarizes a study on safety hazard identification in the UK construction industry. It presents a procedure to calculate hazard identification indices (HII) for construction method statements. The study found maximum HII values of 0.899 or 89.9% for a nuclear project. Low HII values indicate knowledge, process, and procedure barriers that can be addressed by an IT tool called Total-Safety that helps standardize hazard identification and risk assessment methods. Total-Safety uses a task-based approach and database to improve information sharing across projects.

PECB Webinar: Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Determining Controls...PECB
As part of managing the health and safety of your business you must control the risks in your workplace. To do this you need to think about what might cause harm to people and decide whether you are taking reasonable steps to prevent that harm. This is known as risk assessment and it is something you are required by law in most parts of the world. People are often put off by the idea of Risk Assessment because they think it is over complicated, difficult to complete and unnecessary. You may have already taken steps to protect your employees, this webinar will help you decide whether you have covered all you need to as per the requirements of OHSAS 18001?
Following points will be covered:
• Overview of Different Methods available for Risk Assessment
• Concept of HAZID, HAZAN, HAZOP, Risk Assessment, Risk Evaluation and Risk Management

Mumbai is the financial and commercial capital of India. Mumbai wouldn’t have achieved this without the lifeline of the city –its local trains. For any large densely populated urban area, the local trains are essential for a speedy cross-over of a large population over long distances. Lakhs of people travel regularly and commute by local trains over varying distances ranging from 10 to 60 kilometer a day.
Here are 22 questions to help focus efforts on identifying and controlling hazards when you conduct a job hazard analysis (JHA).
Note that the list is not complete. You will need to think carefully about the tasks and sub-tasks of each job you analyze and the particular hazards they present. Then you can add or delete to develop suitable lists for jobs you analyze.

Risk Assessment for Building Construction Sites in Myanmarijtsrd
In Myanmar, construction industries carry on to become safety first. There are many hazards and risks in construction that can cause employee injuries and illnesses. In order to be safe, risk assessment technique is widely used in international but less in Myanmar. So this paper aims to help what kind of risks can occur and to know how to reduce these risks by using additional controls. Firstly, it is required to collect data. Therefore, three construction companies in Mandalay Myanmar are chosen. Hazards are obtained from the observed data. Questionnaires concerned with likelihood and severity are collected from the project engineers in these sites. The results from questionnaires are used to evaluate the risks. The evaluated risks are reviewed whether these are acceptable or additional controls are required to reduce risks. On the basis of outcome results, risk prioritization number charts can be obtained. Thus, this study can provide for developing necessary controls to reduce risks and to be safe for construction industries.

Safety in design paper a live picture of organisational risk by linking risk...Alex Apostolou
Bowties are an efficient, highly adaptable and well-accepted tool for the visualisation and analysis of risk. Even to the untrained eye, the bow tie’s map-like elements are quickly intuited (overall shape, left-to-right flow of linked boxes, standard labels, etc.) and help to define the risk’s dimensions, boundaries and interactions, encouraging navigation, exploration, discovery and hopefully, preparedness.
However, by virtue of their scenario-based frame of reference there is often a great deal of overlap within bowtie registers. Left unresolved in an assurance process, these overlaps would increase the resourcing and verification burden unsustainably.
This case study provides an insight to the key learnings from the implementation of an integrated risk management and control assurance program into an explosives and chemicals manufacturing organisation with 65+ sites. Key amongst the objectives was the creation of a live risk profile to best guide budgetary decision-making for risk reduction, facilitating a more comprehensive understanding of current fatality risk and control at all levels of the business – in the most resource efficient manner possible.
The implemented solution involved identifying the common elements in more than 1,600 bowties and managing them centrally, providing a highly-leveraged assurance approach delivering site and corporate risk profiling at a lower cost, in-built continuous improvement, real-time data sharing, and dynamically calculated bowties; all managed with little or no on-site expertise.

Statement of the Problem and it is Setting
Risk management has been one of the breakthroughs for the modern world, and at the same one of the intellectual achievements is the identification, transformation, or risk and going from a world that described risk as fate to a world that looks at risk as an area of study. Risk management is the utilization of risk analysis to come up with management strategies used to reduce risk. Whereby generally in project management there are the two techniques categories qualitative; that involves impact and probability assessment, expected value calculations and influence diagrams and quantitative; that typically focuses on the overall risk which is managed more with numerical approach, and has techniques such as decision trees, Monte Carlo analysis and sensitivity analysis (McNeil et al. 2015). In various fields, there is enormous risk faced, and at the same time, there is a corresponding quantitative technique that can be used to address the risk. The focus is on the quantitative risk management techniques; they are based on scientific, mathematical and statistical background, that promise to give thorough and detailed management and quantification of risk that is imperative for designing the response (Teixeira et al. 2015).
This paper, based on the construction industry, provides an overview of the analytic overview of different quantitative risk analysis techniques. There is a focus on building on the existing quantitative techniques that are best for the construction industry around the world when it comes to utilizing relevant techniques after a qualitative risk analysis. In addition to this, there is looking further into the techniques and their details.
Guiding Questions
· Does Your Risk Management Process Address Root Cause of Failure?
· Are there gaps in this field?
· What Does Your Business Performance Tell You About Risk?
· What Do Controls Tell You About Your Risks?
· The main focus is looking at the practitioners and researchers looking: at the reason why they should simplify the existing techniques?
· Which, at the same looks at the research gaps in this field and propose areas of further research for project risk management in construction, which will improve the existing techniques.

Road Map to HIPAA Security Rules Compliance: Risk Analysis at Orbit ClinicsIOSR Journals
The organization, which will be used in this risk assessment report, is a healthcare provider and concealed name “Orbit Clinic” is to protect confidentiality and anonymity of the real clinic’s name. This assessment will look at the clinic IT systems only from HIPAA Security Rules point of view. This clinic has chosen because there are various threats and vulnerabilities, which are faced by these kinds of organizations especially regarding the electronic Personal Health Information (e-PHI). They also have sensitive financial data that need to be secured due to the possible threats and vulnerabilities facing them. The analysis approaches that have used are interviews, survey, automated tools like Zenmap and Nessus. In addition, Methodologies such as quantitative, qualitative and Practical Threat Analysis (PTA) were used to conduct the risk analysis. As a result, to this risk assessment, quite a number of vulnerabilities were observed. Furthermore, the project provided countermeasure to all observed vulnerabilities as well as the most cost effective plan to mitigate the risks.

3. Introduction
Hazard identification is fundamental to construction safety
management; unidentified hazards present the most
unmanageable hazards.
Maximum hazard identification levels were found to be 0.899
89.9% for a construction project within the nuclear industry
the reasons for low hazard identification levels indicates key
barriers. This leads to the presentation of an Information
Technology IT tool for construction project safety management
Total-Safety and, in particular, a module within Total-Safety
designed to help construction personnel develop method
statements with improved levels of hazard identification.
4. Hazard and Accident
Causation
This paper presents an investigation of safety hazard identifi-
cation within the U.K. construction industry. Starting with a
discussion of an accident causation model, within the context of
how hazards lead to accidents, it indicates that managing
hazardous events is a fundamental aspect of construction safety
management. Within the construction industry, risk assessment
is the practical means by which hazardous events are managed.
However, unidentified hazards negate the risk assessment
process; risks cannot be assessed and control measures
cannot be developed
The paper presents a procedure that indicates the level of
hazard identification within method statements via calculation of
minimum and maximum hazard identification indices. A “method
statement” is a carefully

By reducing its severity
Consideration of hazards in terms of their probability of occurrence
and severity of consequence provides the general rationale
for performing all safety risk assessments, which are undertaken
as follows:
1.Estimate the probability of a hazard’s occurrence
2. Evaluate the risk associated with the hazard based upon the
frequency and severity estimations
3. Respond to the hazard by implementing suitable control
measures.
7. Hazard and Accident Causation
(Unidentified Hazard)
If Hazard is identified it will be covered by the first assumption
but if it is not identified it will have
1.Complete freedom of entry into the triangle, will have an
uncontrolled probability of occurrence
2. Complete freedom of movement within the triangle, the hazard
will have an uncontrolled severity if it does occur.
8. Hazard identification in U.k
construction
Investigation into hazard identification levels have been initially
targeted on three different industry sectors :UK rail, nuclear, and
general construction .
9. Procedure for establishing
hazard identification levels
Procedure was into five steps
1.Step one (Data collective)
Method statement were collected from the construction projects
and then categorized to concrete work, steel work, earth work,
and brick work
To make bench marking for the above information two main
sources were used
1.Construction Industry Publication
2. Information held by the contractor operating on both
projects, such as project risk logs, the safety section of the
company intranet, and other safety related data held on the
individual projects.
10. Cont..
Step two :Method statement preanalysis
Step three:Eastablishing Hazard scoring system
1. The hazard is identified and assessed—score of “1.0;”
2.The hazard is identified but not assessed—score of “0.5;”
3.The hazard is not identified or assessed—score of “0.0.”
11. Cont..
Step four: Determination of the reasonably practicable risk
Step five: Determination of hazard identification level
HII = H1/H0
where H0 represents the total number of relevant hazards in a
method statement and H1 represents the combined identification
and assessment status of those hazards. Therefore if the total
number of potential hazards in a construction method were x and
if all had been both identified and assessed thus obtaining a score
of “1” per hazard then H0=H1=x and HII=1, the best possible
rating.
12. Cont..
HIImin took account of hazards that were explicitly
included in the method statement; this value
represents the lower limit for the level of hazard
identification in a
method statement. HIImax took account of those
same hazards plus hazards that were relevant but
not explicitly included
14. Analysis of Results Obtained
1.Qualatative as shown in the table
2.Quantative: levels for each project were compared to a
“control” project in which a perfect level of hazard identification
was achieved, i.e., for this control project all HIImin and HIImax
values were set to 1.000. The hypothesized mean differences
between HIImin for the control project and Projects A, B, and C
were 0.252, b0.079, and 0.338, respectively. Values for the
corresponding HIImax were 0.209, 0.065, and 0.259. it available

15. Barrier to improve hazard
identifications
1. Knowledge and information barriers:
• Lack of information sharing across projects;
• Lack of resources on smaller projects, e.g., industry publications,
full-time safety department, etc.;
• Subjective nature of hazard identification and risk assessment;
and
• Reliance upon tacit knowledge.
2. Process and procedures barriers:
• Lack of standardized approach; and
• Undefined structure for tasks and hazards.
16. System for Hazard
Identification Improvement
Based on the hypothesis that barriers exist to improve these
levels the work was continued to develop a new system of
hazard and risk management, Total-Safety.
