The Aspects of Risk Management: Identification, Assessment, and Control
Plant refers to any machinery or equipment employed for a mechanical action such as mixing, assembling, combining, cutting, grinding, drilling, joining, or pressing forms. It’s important for contractors, supervisors, and other staff members to comply with aspects of risk management to prevent hazards that could potentially result in an illness or injury. Losses may result fromfinancial, strategic, perimeter, and operational risks that expose the property, net income, personnel, and liability.
Risk Identification
Facilities need to identify the hazards associated with plant installation, erection, commission, and systems of work (SOPs) in terms of the use of the plant. Each plant must be licensed and registered before being used or when any alterations are made to the plant.
To consider the hazards associated with plants, it’s important to consider aspects of suffocation, entanglement, crushing, cutting, friction burns, high temperatures, injury from a slip, trips and falls, vibration, dust, radiation, and noise.
Risk Assessment
An extensive risk assessment determines whether a risk can be associated with the identified hazards — i.e., the likelihood of an illness or injury under the circumstances. The identified risk may be categorized as a low, medium, or high priority. By doing so, you can contribute to a safer workplace. For example, physical barriers can keep people away from accessing any dangerous parts of the machine while revising care duties while utilizing manual power for operations to slash accidents.
Risk Control
Risk control is a process that requires the implementation of measures to reduce risks associated with the nature of work or the plant.The controls must be practicable against the risks identified. The hierarchy of control includes eliminating the hazard through substitution, use of personal protective equipment, administrative controls for eliminating risks, and engineering controls to change the physical characteristics of a plant to slash risks. Other common terms associated with loss include risk prevention (that reduces the frequency of loss) and risk reduction (that reduces the severity of loss).
