Olympia Chemicals Limited uses the Solvay technique to manufacture sodium carbonate.
The company meets around half of the region's total demand for this commodity. Light
ash, thick ash, and processed sodium bicarbonate are the three unique products of the
company. As the corporation is fully aware of the need of maintaining a licence to operate,
the company has a "Health, Safety, Environment, and Security" (HSE & S) department
for its safety and security standards. Plant has heavy machinery including a powder
packaging machine, a prepared ash processing machine, a hydraulic briquette machine,
General description of the organisation
a pressure machine and a charcoal powder ball pressing machine. Typically, activities
were undertaken including heating process furnaces, vehicle travel, manual handling and
maintenance work.

Workers work in two shifts. The first shift is from 08:00 am to 04:00 pm and the second
shift is from 04:00 pm to 12:00 am. In each shift 150 workers work there. There are mainly
young age workers work including 10 women for office work.

I started by looking at several websites, such as the International Labour Organization
and the UAE Labour Law articles, to see whether there were any codes of practise that
applied to chemical industry. I haven't been able to discover any true safety-related data
for the entire chemical sector, but I should be able to discover a lot of data for certain
components, such as safe chemical handling and safe machinery utilisation.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/9781119223610.ch9
British health and safety executive site also have a lot of data related to chemical
industry.
https://www.hse.gov.uk/chemicals/
I went to the work site after researching sources of experience for hazard detection and
spoke with an HSE engineer. For hazard recognition, I made physical assessments of the
various sites and listened to the individuals who got the work done. They inform me about
significant working dangers. They have filed a number of health and safety concerns. I
noted the current measures that have already been put in place to counteract each
hazard. I have also closely looked at injury reports to see what sorts of injuries have most
likely happened over the past 12 months. I also looked at all of these incidents that could
recur and what controls were placed in place to avoid their recurrence.
When examining control and producer controls, I also refer to written data such as the
standards provided by the ILO. When considering control mechanisms for safe vehicle
movement in the workplace, for example, I resorted to legal considerations such as legal
norms. ILO C155-Convention on occupational safety and health, 1981 (No.155)

Moral, general legal and financial arguments for ALL actions

Moral, general legal and financial Moral

arguments Olympia Chemicals Limited has a moral duty to prevent occupational accidents and to
protect all of his workers. The employer of the company is responsible for ensuring stable
plant and facilities, as well as safe access and violence. It is unacceptable in our civilised
society for staff to be injured or killed on the job. Any injuries that occur will have a huge
impact on the life of the staff as well as their family and friends. Long-term injuries and
illnesses have a huge impact on the mental health of our workers.

Olympia Chemicals Limited has legal requirement to protects its workers under the ILO’s
safety and Health Convention (C155)

Financial
Financial impacts could be broken into these categories, the cost of fixing damaged
machinery, the cost of replacing damaged machinery, the cost of replacing damaged
machinery, and the cost of replacing damaged machinery are some of the financial
implications. Costs associated with the injured worker's rehabilitation and return to work, as
well as the cost of hiring and preparing temporary or replacement labour, workers'
compensation lawsuits, and sick pay leaves. Costs accrued as a result of civil litigation
Costs associated with enforcement authority can harm a company's image, affect future
contracts, and boost customer costs.

Legal
The legal basis for control management and operation is compliance with the legal standards
defined by the enforcement authority. Any violations of Olympia Chemicals Limited LLC 's
safety policies that result in regulatory compliance acts such as prohibitions (the suspension
of all work on a certain activity) or progress notices in relation to these operations. If these
activities are not completed properly, the financial pressure on the company may be
immense, and even these efforts will restrict their qualification achievement in all respects,
and the city authority will take steps to avoid job delays. Although ILO on breaching measures
states that, the working machines, working methods and work environment should be
appropriate to the nature of work and all work equipment inspected and maintained and all
high-risk activities must be controlled by permit to work system otherwise work permit could
be cancelled.
Control-based tripping devices should be installed on the conveyer belt system. (Hazard
category-work equipment and machinery)
The International labour organization (ILO) has also set the recommendations to develop the
safe working environment at workplace.
ILO C119 - Guarding of Machinery Convention, 1963 (No. 119) article 6 required that The
use of machinery, any dangerous part of which, including the point of operation, is not
protected by appropriate guards, shall be prohibited by national laws or regulations or
prevented by other equally effective measures; provided, however, that where this prohibition
cannot fully apply without preventing the use of the machinery, it shall apply to the extent
that the use of the machinery permits.
The likelihood of serious injury is high because Workers wore loose clothing while manually
handling bags at the end of the conveyer belt system to deposit bags in the storage area,
and there was a high risk of workers becoming entangled with dangerous moving machinery
parts. They were not taking the appropriate precautions when working near the machinery.
Workers who become entangled in the conveyer belt system may experience injuries such
as cuts, fractures, dislocations, and even death and the current control measures are
ineffective to prevent injury.

I set the category when suggesting the severity in following way:
• Minimal: no injury or damage happened.
• Minor: injury happened requiring the first aid treatment and/or unimportant damage
to the equipment and machinery.
• Major: injury happened requiring the hospital treatment, requiring recovery time,
and/or important damage to equipment and machinery.
• Fatal: injuring which causing disability or death, and loss of equipment, machinery or
building.
The severity rating for this hazard is set as Major and it is probably that injury of the worker
will be required hospital treatment.
By putting tripping devices on the conveyor belt, the danger connected with this work
equipment and machinery may be reduced. This gadget is controlled by the microcontroller
that is put on it. The microcontroller detects the entanglement and sends feedback signals
to the main input power, which shuts down the power automatically. Cost associated with the
implementation of the action will be less than the cost of injuries to workers.
The time of 1 month was suggested in the risk assessment part for the implementation of
this control action. In this time, collaboration with the finance manager and general manager
would be done for the purchasing of all desired things for the installation this system.
This action with other control measures will fully control the risk associated with this hazard
by installing control base tripping devices on conveyer belt system.
Apply LOTO and replace the damage wires with double insulated wires. (Hazard category:

ILO`s R175 - Safety and Health in Construction Recommendation, 1988 (No. 175) also
required that Employer must take protective steps to protect employees from "Electric shock
or Electrocuting" employer should make the workplace protected from electrical hazards at
the workplace and double insulating wire should be built to avoid electrical danger and
electrical shock.
The likelihood of electrical shock is high because there was damage to one control panel
in the cell space, so some naked wires were put outside the panel and no warning sign was
placed to warn the operator about the electrical hazard. During the procedure, the worker
can inadvertently contact the naked wire, resulting in electrical shock, electrical burns and
even high voltage fatalities and the current control measures are ineffective to prevent
injury.
Please see justification 1 for severity category. The severity of this hazard is set as a
Major and it is probably in case of electric shock that injury of the worker will require
hospital treatment.
It will have a significant effect on the organization by applying LOTO and replacing the
damaged wires with double insulated wires. The probability and magnitude will be decreased
after the implementation of this recommendation. This will decrease the risk of electric shock
and burn injuries, and there will be no electric shock risks for workers. Cost associated with
the implementation of the action will be less than the cost of injuries to workers.
I have given a time scale of 3 weeks for this to be completed. I gave this time because
replacement of the wire will take time for replacement and budget to take action.
The action will maximum control the risk of serious electric shock as replacement of damaged
wire with double insulated wires.

the application of the provisions of this Convention, or of certain of them, persons who drive
vehicles engaged in urban transport or certain types of urban transport, by reference to the
particular technical operating conditions involved and to local conditions; transport by
agricultural or forestry undertakings in so far as such transport is carried out by means of
tractors or other vehicles assigned to local agricultural or forestry activities and is used
exclusively for the work of such undertakings. transport of sick and injured persons, transport

The likelihood of Serious personal injury is high because the driver was reversing the loader
truck without a bank man, the area was not separated for both cars and pedestrians, and the
vehicle speed was excessive. Workers are also going about without taking any precautions.
The driver of a Loader truck was reversing the vehicle without utilising the banks man. As a
result, the vehicle may collide with people or mechanical structures. Fractures, bone
dislocations, and even death are possible outcomes and the current control measures are
ineffective to prevent injury.
Please see justification 1 for severity category The severity rating for this hazard is set as
Major and fatal because workers may require a proper medical treatment after getting
collided with the vehicles because they can get broken bones, fractures, cuts and even death
also in case of high speed.
This hazard can be reduced by creating a segregation system for both pedestrians and
vehicles. There will be less risks connected with work place mobility and vehicle movement
if people and vehicles move apart. This action will allow to movement of vehicle and
pedestrians safely. This action will have decreased the likelihood of serious personal injury.
I suggested 1-month time period for the implementation of this control measure and I hope
so the finance manager and project manager will fully cooperate to provide all the facilities
and accommodation to implement this control action.

Olympia Chemicals Limited's policy is to evaluate risk assessments every 12 months,
however given the company's high risk of accidents, I proposed a 6-month review period.
As a result, I've extended the deadline for the analysis. The risk assessment will be
reviewed on November 29, 2022.
I will schedule a meeting with the Plant Manager and his HSE team, as well as the finance
director, to go through and agree on the measures needed in the risk assessment I
recommended, and then all officials will be given a summary of findings and actions for risk
areas (this meeting will emailed initially with follow up if required). The results of the risk
assessment will also be shared with employees via line managers. The results of the risk
assessment will be mentioned in the next tool box talk, which will be held periodically
before to the job shift, and I will also advise employees on what actions to take. In order for
all staff to have access to it, a review of the risk evaluation and steps to be taken will also
be posted on the business intranet. To encourage staff to read and understand, the results
of the risk assessment will be posted on the Health and Safety Notice Board.
I'll put up a little board in my office to attach the written form of risk assessment to, as well
as the date and time frame for action. I will mark the date and action and set a special ring
on my phone that remains active for one month before the due date of that activity. I will
call the appropriate individual on the due date to check on the status of the completion. If it
is not demonstrated that the desired activity was accomplished by the due date, I shall

financial resources or the actions of employees. To implement the necessary controls, I will
schedule a meeting with the financial manager to provide some funding. I will also arrange
a meeting to deal with poor employee behaviour with an activity manger to try to find out
the best agreed actions. I would speak to the managing director to see what additional
outlets are available if any activities look like they should not be completed on time.
