RISK ASSESSMENT
1.0 PURPOSE:
To describe the measures to be implemented within AJCI for the identification of hazards, and for the assessment
and control of health and safety risks.
The objective is to systematically examine workplace hazards, assess those associated risks and use the results to
prioritize safety management efforts and resources.

• activities of all personnel having access to the workplace (including subcontractors and visitors);
Cause: that which produces an effect; that which gives rise to any action, phenomenon or condition
Consequence: the outcomes of an event expressed qualitatively or quantitatively, being a loss, injury,
disadvantage or gain. There may be a range of possible outcomes associated with an event.
Incident: Event that gives rise to an accident or has the potential to lead to an accident (Note: An incident where
no ill health, injury, damage, or other loss occurs is also referred to as a "near-miss". The term "incident" includes
"near-misses").
Accident: Undesired event giving rise to death, ill health, injury, damage or other loss.
Event: is an incident or situation, which occurs in a particular place during a particular interval of time.
Risk Analysis: a systematic use of available information to determine how often specified events may occur and
the magnitude of their consequences.
Risk Assessment: the overall process of risk analysis and risk evaluation.
Risk Evaluation: the process used to determine risk management priorities by comparing the level of risk against
predetermined standards, target risk levels or other criteria
Top Management: General Manager, Technical Manager and Accounting & Finance Manager .

7.0 PROCEDURE:
7.1 Identification of Hazards and Risks
Hazard identification: the first phase of the risk assessment process is hazard identification. The purpose of hazard
identification is to construct a comprehensive list of hazards associated with any particular asset, item of plant,
work practice, work area etc.
The fact that many hazards may exist is not necessarily an indication that there are significant levels of risk, since
the hazards may be well-controlled. Therefore, it is always important to maintain a clear distinction between the
process of identifying hazards, and subsequently analyzing the risk associated with them.

d. Brainstorming
Brainstorming is a technique that is used to tap the creative thinking of a group of people. A good
brainstorming session may involve people from different areas of the business – employees, Works
Manager, Supervisors
e. Use of checklists
Checklists can be used in hazard identification to focus the attention on particular hazards and collect
relevant data. It is often convenient to construct checklists based upon the results of previous hazard
identification activities or upon a review of historical data. The main advantage of checklists is that they
are easy to use and are good for focusing attention on particular issues. Their major disadvantage is that
by focusing on some particular hazards, other significant hazards may be ignored.
f. Observation
Direct observation is also an effective technique for identifying hazards. Observation may be undertaken
in conjunction with the use of a checklist or recording device (ex. video camera if possible). Observation
may be used for studying work practices and identifying hazards associated with workplace layout/design
and environment, ergonomics and patterns of flow, etc.
