5. HSE Risk Management.
Purpose:
The purpose of this procedure is to identify potential occupational health and safety
hazards including environmental aspects with an integrated approach and assessment on
the associated risks and impacts related to activities, products and services across project
sites covering all site offices and worksites.

Scope.
This procedure is applicable to all operations and functions. All project sites of Bader Al
Mulla have to proactively plan how to address occupational health and safety related
hazards and associated risks and environmental aspects and associated impacts for
exercising controls and preventive actions. These plans are developed in the form of
integrated HSE Risk Assessment Registers for all project sites to manage HSE risks in
line with client relevant procedures. This procedure is completely outlined according to
the guidelines given in the client's Risk Management procedures. Periodic review and
update of HSE Risk Assessment Registers shall be carried out based on following.
 Change of management
 Incidents (including health, safety and environmental)
 Change in legal and other requirements
 Successful completion of HSE Management Programs (HSEMP)
 Consultation with workers and other interested parties like contractors and
visitors.
Responsibility: -

 Project Manager/(CME)
 HSE Management Representative
 HSE Site Coordinators
 Safety Engineer/Supervisor
5.1 Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment Management.
Risk Assessment Registers are prepared incorporating hazard identification and risk
assessment inputs from workers and other interested parties like contractors and visitors.

Client: - Kuwait National Petroleum Company
(KNPC)
This is done through KNPC risk assessment procedures. HSE Risk Assessment Register
lists potential hazards leading to ill health and human injury.
Following inputs are considered while identification of hazards:
Routine and non-routine activities.
Activities of all personnel having access to the place of work (including
contractors and visitors)
 Human factors, such as behavior and capabilities
 Identified hazards originating outside the workplace capable of adversely affecting
the health and safety of persons under the control of the organization within the
workplace
 Infrastructure, equipment and materials at the workplace.
 Modifications to the OHS management system, including temporary changes and
their impacts on operations, processes and activities
 Any applicable legal obligations relating to risk assessment and implementation of
necessary controls, and
 Design of work areas, processes, installations, machinery/equipment, operating
procedures and work organization, including their adaptation to human
capabilities.
Hazard Identification
One key element of effective safety risk management is a systematic approach to hazard
identification. The Hazard Identification methodology applied shall consider all the
factors involved in the system under study. This shall include all modes of operation
(routine and non-routine activities), emergencies, as well as external hazards.
Ref. #: HSE-TSSA-06-2029, Rev. # 7
5.2 Critical Task Risk Assessment (CTRA)
After the hazards have been identified, the risks arising from them are evaluated either
qualitatively or quantitatively. This typically requires carrying out a first stage named
"risk estimation", which entails assessing both the severity (consequence) and frequency
(likelihood) of hazardous events.
Critical Task Risk Assessment (CTRA) is a form of HIRA & DC, which is applied for
specific activities (maintenance, construction & non-routine activities) which are
identified as critical works.
The above-mentioned processes address a wide risk spectrum related to maintenance,
construction & non-routine activities. A combination of one or more of these processes
shall be applied for managing risks associated with such activities executed with work
permits. The processes which are used in addition to Work Permits will be explained in
the various sections of this document.
Categories of maintenance, construction & non routine work.
Maintenance, construction & non-routine works are categorized as given in the table. Work Permit is essential to carry
out all categories of works. In addition to work permit other tools such as Safe Work Practices Checklist & Critical Task
Risk Assessment (CTRA) are required for different categories of works as given below

CTRA shall contain only those hazards and control measures which are not addressed in SWP
Checklist and which could not be addressed in work permits
Manage the Safety Risk to acceptable level
After the risk has been identified and analyzed as per above, management decides what
corrective action (if any) is necessary to manage the risk to an Acceptable level.
Depending on the nature of the specific hazard(s), this may require different steps to:
 Eliminate the hazard.
 Prevent the hazards from occurring (eliminate) or to reduce the likelihood of the
incidents.
 Reduce the consequences with other control measure.
 Mitigate the consequences of the hazards which are inherent to the type of
operation or working environment and which cannot be prevented altogether and
have a chronic likelihood to develop into incidents with harmful consequences.
Recover from the consequences of incidents. Recovery and Damage Control measures
should be developed for all potential emergencies with the aim to prevent escalation e.g.,
from critical into severe or worse the results of the risk estimated as established above,
shall be compared to the KNPC Risk Tolerability Criteria (RTC), also given in the Safety
Risk Evaluation Matrix. The risk then shall be managed accordingly. This process is
called Risk Assessment, which refers to the process of objectively examining the risks
involved in a particular activity. The objective of the determination is to ensure that the
risks are fully understood.
The matrix given below shall be utilized for assessing Risk.

The purpose of the CTRA is to identify hazards & determine effective additional hazard

5.3 Occupational Health Hazards and Risks
Occupational Health Risk Assessment (OHRA) is a key to identify and estimate the
potential health risks that are associated with the occupational health hazards like
chemical, biological, physical, ergonomic and psychological or others that may arises
from the processes, operations, facilities, working environment and human error in entire
KNPC facilities
Types of Occupational Health Hazards and Risks.
Identification of occupational health specific hazards and associated risks are developed
considering all operations having impact on the health and well-being of the personnel.
Following facts are considered while identification of such hazards:
 List of reported diseases
 Injuries/ ailments covered under first aid cases (FAC), restricted workday cases

(KNPC)
(RWD), lost workday cases (LWD) and medical treatment cases (MTC)
While preparing Occupational Health Assessment Registers, all operations having impact
on the human body leading to injury and impact on physical environment is identified
taking note of the following potential hazards/aspects with an integrated approach:
 Fire.
 Explosion
 Leak/Toxic releases, corrosive chemicals, pyrophoric material
 High pressure system
 High and low temperatures
 Work at heights
 Drowning.
 Dropped objects, flying particles, moving parts, rotating equipment
 Electrical & static electricity
 Ignition of flammable gas/ vapor and liquid Slip, trip, fall
 Restricted entry (confined spaces) and obstacles
 Air
 Noise
 Waste disposal
 Chemical exposure
 Heat, hot/cold surfaces
 Ionizing and non-ionizing radiation
Hazards and Environmental Aspects listed above lead to risks of potential injury, ill-
health and environmental degradation.
Procedure
An Occupational Health Risk Assessment (OHRA) is a structured and systematic
identification of occupational health hazards with the aim of reducing the risks of
exposure to these hazards through the development and implementation of avoidance,
control measures. In the occupational set-up, it is the preliminary component to health
risk management. An Occupational Health Risk Assessment (OHRA) is a useful tool in
ranking occupational health risks. An OHRA is made up of the following steps:
 Identify the health hazards and their harmful health effects.
 Identify the exposed individuals and groups to the identified occupational health
hazards.
 Identify the processes, tasks and areas where hazardous exposures could occur.
 Assess the effectiveness of existing control measures.
 Analyze the potential health risks of the hazardous exposures to occupational
health hazards.
 Establish a health risk register
 Assigning significance of occupational health risks.
 Set priorities for action to control the risks
 Develop, implement and monitor a risk control action plan or review existing risk
control action plan.

 Maintain systematic records of the OHRA or amend existing Risk Control Action
Plan and use alternative and/or additional control measures.
 Review and amend annually or earlier if changes to processes or new
developments are proposed.
OHRA is more suitable for existing operations is to be done with focus on routine and
non- routine operational activities as well as normal, abnormal and emergency conditions
Occupational Health Hazard Identification In general, the occupational health hazard
identification requires involvement of the competent personnel together with individuals
who has had training and experience in occupational health and hazard identification,
together with individuals involved and familiar with the activity being assessed.
Occupational Health hazards can be classified as follows:

 Physical Hazard
 Chemical Hazard
 Biological Hazard
 Psychological hazard
 Ergonomics Factor.
5.4 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Management.
Environment Risk Assessment Register is prepared incorporating environmental aspect
and impact assessment inputs from initial assessment review by environmental studies
and/tests including inputs from workers and other interested parties like contractors and
visitors. This is done through testing of air quality, water quality, noise quality, resource
saving potential indicators and waste management issues. HSE Risk Assessment Register
lists environmental aspects leading to impact on physical environmental performance
Definition: -
Environment Aspect: - An element of an organization’s activities, products or
services that can interact with the environment.
Environment Impact: - Any changes Any change to the environment, whether adverse
or wholly or partially resulting from an organization’s activities, products or services.
Emergency conditions: - Sudden, unexpected or impending situation that may cause
injury, loss of life & damage to the property, such as fire, leaks & spills.
Significant Environmental aspect: - An environmental aspect which has or can have a
significant environmental impact
Define Areas and Activities
In order to make aspect identification more manageable, the site activities shall be
assessed based on the area classification., provided all areas and functions are included

Following inputs are considered while identification of hazards:


 Review of past incidents
 Feedback from interested parties, both external and internal
 Project survey

 Identification of all inputs and outputs in a process/activity

Based on the above study the impacts are categorized as one of the following: -
 Air Pollution
 Water Pollution
 Land Pollution
 Resource Depletion
 Noise Pollution
 Environmental Emergency, which can be one of the following:
 Fire Hazard\
 Major Spillage of Oils/ Chemicals
 Explosions
 Major Accidents
The aspects are identified as Normal/ Abnormal/ Emergency and also whether they are
regulated or not. The Evaluation of aspect/ impact is carried out by using the following
evaluation criteria:
 Overriding Criteria
 Quantitative Criteria
Environmental Aspects Identification
Identify the inputs and outputs to and from the site activities and then identify the
environmental aspects and impacts that arise from these inputs and outputs. This should
include (where applicable) identification of direct and indirect environmental aspects.
For each area and activity of the sites, there must be an ongoing process of aspect
identification that determines the current and potential impact on the Environment. These
include:
 Emissions to air including Green House Gases.
 Discharges to water or sewer.
 Spills/releases to land/sea
 Management/disposal of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Wastes.
 Water use.
 Fuel and Energy use.
 Use of Raw Materials and Natural Resources (Renewable/Nonrenewable).
 Use of Chemicals.
HSE Emergency
If the impact of any activity is one or more of the following, then the impact becomes an
environmental emergency and the impact becomes significant. The emergency situations
are as follows: -
 Fire Hazard
 Major Spillage of Oils/ Chemicals

Heat exhaustion can occur if a person is exposed to hot weather conditions, expends too much energy,
and does not drink enough water / fluids.

The symptoms of heat exhaustion are:


o sweating
o Muscle cramps, generally in the legs and abdomen
o Dizziness

First aid for heat exhaustion:

o Help the victim to lie down under the shade or in a cool area.
o Give water in small amounts every 2 to 3 minutes until the victim recovers.
o Call by radio for medical assistance from nearby clinic / hospital.
o DO NOT give ice to the victim.
o Apply cool water to the back of the neck and wrists.
o Muscular cramps might occur as a result of salt depletion. In such cases, increase the
salt intake of the victim.
Heat Stroke:
Heat stroke is very rare but is potentially life threatening.

Heat stroke may occur after heat exhaustion has set in and has the following symptoms:

 High body temperature (very hot to the touch).


 Dry skin (the victim stops sweating).
 Rapid, shallow breathing.
 The victim will be disoriented or may become unconscious.
