various kinds of factories and buildings. The organization produces roughly 150 structural canopies per
month and consumes 20 tons of steel per month.

Major Activities Performed are as follows

WELDING: Steel fabrication is a whole of welding, Used for joining two elements together with a strong
connection.
GRINDING:-Grinding process is an abrasive machining process that uses a grinding wheel as the cutting
tool to get high quality surface finish, accuracy in the dimension and shape of the workpiece.
SHOT BLASTING: Steel sections are blasted with shots in order to prepare them for fabrication and
provide clean finish.
COATING/PAINTING: It is carried out towards the end of the fabrication process to protect the steel
against corrosion and fire.
BENDING: Bending process is carried out by a press brake machine to get the specified radius required for
work.
CUTTING: Steel sections are easier to work with when they are cut to length prior to fabrication which is
done here by using a power hacksaw.
CRANE OPERATION: Cranes are used for lifting equipment for overhead works. FORKLIFT
OPERATION: forklift are used for loading and unloading of the metal parts.

Equipments which are used in the organisation are:- Press brake machine, Power Hacksaw,Flux core
welding machine, Power drill press, Grinding machine, Lathe machine, Crane and forklift.

The company is particularly dedicated to ensuring client happiness. where productivity and quality
are never compromised. The firm places a high priority on employee health and safety. Regular health
checks are performed with associated labs.
To carry out the risk assessment I have gone through the below website
https://www.hse.gov.uk/simple-health-safety/risk/steps-needed-to-manage-risk.htm
Steps for the risk assessment:-
1. Identify the hazards
2. Who might be harmed
3. Evaluate the risk
4. Record the findings
5. Review
Before physically inspecting the workplace, I spoke with the manager, design engineers, and safety supervisor to
learn more about the work activities and their procedures. I also looked through the organization's safety manual,
which contains previous risk assessments, SOPs, and PtWs, as well as accident and illness records.
In order to establish appropriate control measures, I have also spoken with the workers who are executing their
individual responsibilities to learn about the genuine difficulties and worries they are experiencing.
I have looked to the following websites to determine the best controls for the occupational hazards that have been
identified:

Part 3: Prioritise 3 actions with justification for the selection
Suggested word counts
Moral, general legal and financial arguments for all actions: 300 to 350 words
For EACH action:
Specific legal arguments: 100 to 150 words
Likelihood AND severity: 75 to 150 words
How effective the action is likely to be in controlling the risk: 100 to 150 words

Moral, general legal and financial arguments for ALL actions

Moral, general legal and financial Moral Arguments: It is critical for a organization to guarantee that its employees have adequate health and
arguments safety protections. As whoever joins the organization hopes for a safe and secured workplace to work with.
Employers, on the other hand, the organization have a moral obligation to offer health and safety precautions
in the workplace, as well as to provide adequate working conditions for their employees. Workers in the
company feel comfortable when they work in a safe environment. They will eventually want to work in such
setting and will contribute to the organization's increased performance as well as improved safety culture.
Moral justifications are one reason a business should implement a workplace health and safety policy.
Accidents at work could result in fatalities or very serious injuries. Furthermore, disregarding a worker's life
for any organizational purposes is immoral. Employees are entitled to a safe workplace, but it is also their
responsibility to act in a safe manner while at work. Due to a pipeline failure in the hydrant system, there is
inadequate pressure for the three priorities indicated. It could fail to put out the fire in the event of an
emergency at work, leaving practically all employees with severe burns or even death. Second, a cut in the
insulation of the welding wire may result in fatalities or serious shocks for the operator or any nearby
workers. The third priority mentioned in which the safety device is missing in the press brake machine, In
case of any any unintentional movement it may result in a severe accident where the operator may lose his
hand, may suffer fractures or amputation due to which he will no longer be able to work in the future, Thus
all these factors are not morally correct as per safety perspective and humanity ground.
Legal Arguments: According to a legal argument, if safety regulations are not observed while executing
work-related tasks that could cause serious injuries, illness, loss of life, and property loss, certain laws may
be imposed on the organization. Additionally, the company could be subject to harsh legal penalties like
fines, prohibitions, or jail time, as well as enforcement visits where the

authorities could issue a notice of improvement or a warning, which would have an effect on the company's
reputation in the market. Therefore, following the law should be seen as one of the organization's top
priorities in order to avoid legal disputes.
Financial Arguments: Workplace accidents cost the company money in the form of medical and hospital
bills, insurance, compensation, fines, and other expenses. Organizations must invest in putting control
systems in place to prevent such mishaps in order to prevent severe financial damage.
Fixing the hose at the store room location and maintaining the pipelines in the hydrant system will cost
25,000 INR. While a significant fire mishap at work might cause the company to lose 55 lakhs inr in
revenue
The organization will spend 40k INR to install the laser safety device in the press brake machine, which is 60
times less than the expense the organization would incur in the event of an accident while using the press
brake machine.
Providing double insulating wire for a welding machine will only cost 6k inr, but an accident caused by a
live part that was exposed in the wire will cost more than 40 times as much.
In addition to the fees listed above, the Organization would also be required to pay fines as required by law.
coverage for the employees, compensation for the employee, Paid overtime, incentives for
employees to meet goals, and legal representation for cases involving workplace accidents
Make plans to fix the fire hose at the storage room site and the leak in the hydrant fire fighting system's
pipeline.(Hazard Category 1)
The organization is required to ensure that all protective and control measures are taken and maintained in
accordance with ILO recommendation R164 and Section 38 of the 1948 Factory Act in order to control and
prevent the outbreak and spread of fire at the workplace and to provide safe working conditions for the
employees. The employer is legally required to ensure that all corrective and comprehensive measures are
taken at the workplace to control the fire hazard if there is a major fire at work as a result of negligence in the
control measures. These strict actions by the legal
authorities may include fines, imprisonment, and prohibition.
LIKELIHOOD: Due to a leak in the hydrant fire fighting system's pipeline and the absence of a fire hose at
the store room site, it is possible that a major fire outbreak and spread would occur at the

workplace. In this case, the organization might be unable to put out the fire because it lacks the pressure and
force needed to do so, and the fire at the store room site would not be contained because the fire hose was
missing.
SEVERITY: The severity of the fire hazard is also high because a malfunctioning fire hydrant system might
result in a fire outbreak and large explosions as the required pressure is not maintained as well as missing fire
hose the fire outbreak will not be controlled leading to a fire
accident which might result into serious injuries, burns, property damage and even fatalities.
1. By repairing and fixing the leaks in the fire hose and hydrant pipelines at the store room site, respectively,
the firefighting system will perform better and be more effective. In the event of a major fire or explosion,
the pipeline will maintain the necessary pressure and force, allowing the fire to be easily controlled and
prevented.
2. Taking into account the possibility and seriousness of the hazard, a 25-day timeframe is recommended for
repairing the pipeline leak and repairing the fire hose. As it would also require purchase department
approval as well as it will take time to find a competent contractor to perform the task.
3. By repairing the leakage in the hydrant fire fighting system pipeline and fixing the hose, It will help to
control the fire at the workplace and will control the risk fully.

Category 11)
According to the DANGEROUS MACHINE ACT 1983 and the DRAFT OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY
AND WORKING CONDITION CODE OF 2019, the employer has a responsibility to make sure that no
employee hired to work at their place of business suffers harm. They should also make sure that any
dangerous machines used at the workplace have all necessary safeguards and safety measures in place to
prevent this. Therefore, installing a laser safety device in the press brake
machine will protect the worker from suffering severe injuries like crushing and amputation, and it

will also provide safe working conditions so as to avoid any legal strict actions such as penalties,
Prohibition and imprisonment
Likelihood:- Since there are no safety devices put in the press brake machine, the likelihood of this accident
is very high. There is no restriction for the inadvertent movement of the machine, thus the worker could
damage himself by catching his hand or a piece of loose cloth between the teeth. This could cause crushing
injuries or even an amputation.
Severity:- The severity of this risk is very high because any unintentional movement while operating the
press brake machine could result in the operator injuring himself by catching his hands or loose clothing in
the machine, which could crush the operator's hand and require an
amputation. Additionally, workers who are injured in this accident may never again be able to use their hands
for work.
1. The intended impact of installing a laser safety device in the press brake machine will ensure the safety of
the operator operating the press brake machine from an accident which may cause severe injuries, crushing
and amputation due to any unintentional movement of the machine.
2. The timescale suggested for installing a laser safety device in the press brake machine is 1 month as it
needs approval from the manager and also from other departments for purchasing and installing it.
3. The action of installing the laser safety device in the press brake machine will fully control the risk to the
operator against trapping his hand or loose clothes in the machine and causing severe injuries.
Making the arrangement for double insulating wire of welding machine .( Hazard Category 3)
According to ILO Convention C155 and Recommendation R164, it is the responsibility of the employer to
provide the safe working conditions to the employees and ensure their safety. ICE 61140 applies to the
protection of people and animals against electric shock and provides fundamental principles and safety
requirements to the worker against electric hazards. If a workplace accident occurs as a result of a live part
being exposed in the welding machine's wire, it
means that the employer failed to take the necessary safety precautions, which is a violation for which the
organization risked harsh penalties like suspension, fines, and imprisonment.

Learner number:
Likelihood:- Since welding is the most frequent activity at the workplace, the likelihood of the hazard is very
significant. The operator and other workers around may come into contact with the live part of the welding
machine wire, which could cause a serious accident. The live component of the welding machine's wire,
which is exposed owing to a cut in the insulation, could hurt the operator and other nearby workers and result
in serious injuries like shock and electrocution as well as fatalities if the wire is not replaced with double
insulating wire.
Severity:- The severity of this hazard is very high because the operator and other nearby workers could be
exposed to the welding machine's live wire, which could cause serious health problems
like shock, electrocution, and paralysis, which could permanently damage a worker's body parts or even
cause death.
1. By providing the double insulating wire for the welding machine will prevent the operator and other
workers working around from getting electric shock, paralysis and also loss of life as there will be no live
part exposed in the wire of the welding machine.
2. This action should be done on immediate basworker is as it is highly dangerous and life threatening
to the operator and the workers working around the welding machine, So the time scale suggested for
the same is of 10 days.
3. The action of providing the double insulating wire for the welding machine will fully control the risk to
operator and other workers working around the welding machine from getting electrocution as there will be
no live part exposed in wire, Thus will save from severe injuries and major accident
By reviewing the risk assessment, it is possible to determine the success and shortcomings of the hazards
control measures provided to the organization. The review period schedule for this organization would be 8
months considering the high-risk activities, so the review will be done on 11th February 2024 to see if the
control measures are adequate to prevent the accident. This is
because the workforce and equipment at the organization change as per the requirement.

How the risk assessment findings will be
communicated AND who you need to tell
Learner number:
I will make sure that the risk assessment is assessed before the review date, though, if certain occurrences
take place before that time.
1. Increase in the number of accidents and incidents
2. Installation of new machinery and equipments
3. Changes in the rules and regulations.
4. Change in working pattern
5. Too much hiring of new employees.
The risk assessment will be communicated in three ways
Verbally:-
I will personally meet with the production manager to discuss the key findings of my risk assessment.
During this meeting, I will go over the risk assessment and the necessary control measures that must be put
in place to lower the risk. I will also recommend that they give the employees who will be implementing the
control measures the task specified in the risk assessment.
In order to explain and summarize the risk assessment to the workers who will start the tasks in person, I will
also hold a toolbox talk for them. I will invite feedback from the workers during the talk to make sure that
everyone is aware of the key findings of the risk assessment.
Written:-
1.I will give the designated team hard and digital copies of the risk assessment during the team meeting, and
meeting minutes will be taken.
2. The organization's workers will receive a summary of the risk assessment, and the full report will be
made available upon request and on the intranet of the business.
3. The main findings of the risk assessment will, if necessary, be sent to the employees' individual email
addresses.
Visually:-

 1. To ensure that employees can see the risk assessment summary every day, I will display it on the
organization's notice board.

2. During the team meeting, I will make a PowerPoint presentation to the specified team members.
How you will follow up on the risk The organization's risk assessment will be followed up on by maintaining a checklist for each specific task to
assessment to check that the actions determine whether management and employees are putting control measures into place. Examples of items
have been carried out on the checklist include PPEs, PTWs, barricades, defects, etc.

By examining task sites and speaking with the workers, the suggested steps would determine whether the
necessary resources and financial aid from the respective departments have been provided to do the
assignment before the time period ends.

If the task is going to be delayed from the due date, I will investigate the reason for the delay, ask the
designated person why it has been delayed, and determine whether additional resources are
required to do it on time.
