HSE PLAN .
4.5.1 Five Steps to Risk Assessment:

• Identify hazards in the workplace (Physical, Chemical, Biological, Ergonomic, Psychosocial,
etc);
• Decide who might be affected by the hazards you identified and how considering those who
may be especially at risk;
• Evaluate risks considering the likelihood/probability of occurrence and severity and decide
whether the existing precautions/controls are adequate or more should be done;
• Record findings; and select control measures.
• Review and revise the assessment whenever invalid or after a substantial change to
procedures, workplace, process, technology, laws, organizations, etc.
Risks identified shall be assessed and ranked using the risk matrix below:
LIKELIHOOD LIKELY ALMOST

(PROBABILITY) RARE UNLIKELY POSIBBLE
Could Happen CERTAIN
(P) Remote Could Happen Could Happen
Often Could Happen
Possibility But Rare Occasionally
(on average Frequently
(once every 3 (typically once (on average
once in a month (once a week or
SEVERITY years or more) in a year) quarterly)
or more) more)

Risk Rating (RR) = Likelihood X Severity Risk Rating
15 - 25 POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC H
5 - 12 POTENTIALLY MAJOR AND SERIOUS M
1-4 POTENTIALLY MINOR L
4.5.2 Risk Identification

This is the section where threats, vulnerabilities and the work activities associated risks are identified.
This process is systematic and comprehensive enough to ensure that no risk is unwittingly excluded.
Any future unpredictable risks that might arise during the project will be identified and controlled by
activity Hazard analysis procedure.
4.5.3 Risk Analysis

Risk analysis is the part where the level of the risk and its nature are assessed and understood.
This information is derived from the level of probability and severity.
The calculation of the risk rate will be accordance with OSHAD Risk Management and impact
assessment.

4.5.4 Risk Treatment

Risk treatment is the process of selecting and implementing of measures to eliminate the risk or modify
it into an acceptable residual Risk level. The control measures shown in the risk assessment are based
on the nature of the expected hazard. It’s important to mention that the risk treatment process is very
dynamic and continues process. The control measures will be studied and reviewed after every
incident or near miss for the purposes of evaluation and improvement.
4.5.5 Risk Communication and awareness

Risk Management is considered as an essential Part of CGC HSE culture. Therefore communicating
and creating awareness of relative risks and control measures for all activities in the Project is very
important.

HSE PLAN .
Hierarchy of Control
Where hazards are identified, Consultant shall follow the hierarchy of control as identified in
OSHAD-SF – Element 2 – Risk Management. Identified risks must be controlled in a systematic
manner with the requirement to eliminate the hazard or risk wherever practicable. If it is not
applicable to eliminate the risks, then the risks need to be reduced through substitution and/or
engineering control measures and/or AACM inistrative control measures. The last level of control is
to provide personal protective equipment’s (PPE) to guard against the identified risk.
HSE control hierarchy to be adopted for the project in hand is demonstrated in the table below:
S/N Hierarchy Elaboration
1 Eliminate Eliminate the risks by removing the hazard.
2 Substitute Substitute with less hazardous materials, equipment, process or
substances.
3 Engineering Make structural changes to the work environment, work systems,
Controls/ tools or equipment. Use mechanical aids or manual handling
isolation devices. Enclose or isolate the hazard through the use of guards
or remote handling techniques. Provide local exhaust ventilation.
4 AACM Appropriate AACM inistrative procedures such as policies,
inistrative guidelines, standard operating procedures (SoP’s), registers,
Controls work permits, safety signage, job rotation, job timing, routine
maintenance and housekeeping. Provide training on the hazards

The requirements of this SWP shall be incorporated into all method statements for work requiring
the use of or erection of scaffold.
Scaffolding is to be constructed using metal poles and braces with wooden deckling. It must be
designed to support at least four times the anticipated weight. The erection of proper
scaffolding requires a great deal of specialist knowledge. It shall, therefore, always be carried
out by experts. If necessary a specialist contractor shall be utilized for scaffolding work. Mobile
tubular-steel scaffolding must be assembled strictly in accordance with the directions of the
supplier. In particular, it must have a proper platform with safety railing and an edge toe board
to prevent tools and material from falling down. All scaffolding must be fit for purpose and
lightweight scaffolding is to be used only up to a maximum height of 10 meters and only where
no materials are loaded onto the working platforms.
All scaffolding structures shall be subject to a pre use inspection and a routine repeat inspection on
weekly basis and also following any alteration of the scaffolding. Scaffolding must also be
inspected by a competent person after any event that may affect its safety; this will include but not
be limited to bad weather conditions. Scaffolding shall be inspected by a competent inspector and
shall display a green Scaffold tag signed and dated by the inspector. The inspector shall be fully
trained and competent and his qualifications and certification documents shall be available for
inspection. The inspection must be recorded in a scaffold register which must be kept on site.
OSH guidelines OSHAD SF CoP-26.0 Scaffolding

Page 59 of 92
HSE PLAN .
Where such areas are adjacent to members of the public or 3rd parties’ then protection
from falling objects will be provide. This may include the construction of covered walkways (crash
decks) in pedestrian areas or the use of scaffold screens and catch nets.
The competent scaffolding supervisor shall be responsible for ensuring that exclusion zones
are in place and maintained at all times whilst scaffold construction activity is ongoing.
All materials being used for scaffolding construction will be checked prior to use, to ensure that they
are in good condition and free from defects / damage. Any materials found to be defective will be
clearly marked as defective and removed from the work area.
All workers involved in the erection / dismantlement of scaffold shall utilize fall protection equipment.
All persons shall wear a full body harness complete with twin tail lanyards fitted with snap hooks.
Where a lanyard and harness is used workers shall be trained to anchor the lanyard at a high level
ABOVE head height where physically possible.
Contractors shall consider ground clearance when the use of a lanyard and harness is the selected
control measure. Sufficient clearance should be present to ensure that workers do not contact the
ground or other obstructions before a fall is arrested.
Rescue procedures for workers suspended at height must be planned for and relevant rescue
equipment shall be on site.
General Scaffold Safety Requirements

Typical Safe Working Platform
Handrail (min 1m) Mid-rail (min 0.5m)
Toe Board (min 0.15m)
All working platforms shall be approx. 600mm wide (3 standard scaffold boards) where no alternative
standard is specified by the manufacturer.
All working platforms shall be fitted with toe boards. Toe boards shall be at least 150mm high
(where no alternative standard is specified by the manufacturer) and shall be robust enough to prevent
materials, debris and tools falling from the working platform.
Secure hand and mid rails shall be fitted for fall prevention. Typically, hand rails will be 1m high and
mid rails will be 0.5m high (mid way between handrail and working platform). Contractors shall install
hand and mid rails in accordance with these requirements where no specific manufacturers
dimensions are stated. Ladders shall be secured and shall extend at least 1m above the working
platform.
Mobile Scaffold Systems

Mobile aluminium scaffolds have their limitations and should only be used in suitable
conditions. Contractors should consider if heavy duty scaffold or a MEWP is the safer option.
All workers involved in mobile aluminium scaffolding construction / dismantling activities will be trained
in the safe erection of use of the specific mobile scaffold in use. This training may be provided in
house by a competent person.3rd party training, while recommended, is not required.
Page 60 of 92
HSE PLAN .
Mobile aluminium scaffold shall only be erected using the components supplied by the relevant
manufacturer.
The use, by erectors, of a safety harness with a restraint lanyard attached to the tower scaffold is
not an acceptable safe system of work when constructing a mobile aluminium scaffold. In the event of
a fall the scaffold is likely to overturn as a result of the shock load.
A safer method for the safe erection / dismantling of mobile aluminium scaffolds is the
‘Through the Trapdoor’ method. Below is an example of this method;
At no time should erectors be on the outside of

the scaffold.
Where the working platform is greater than two

lifts, a rest or mid platform should be installed
(Note that Contractors shall consult the
manufacturer’s specified requirements for exact
details).
Towers with a working platform in excess of 3m

shall have stabilizers fitted. Towers with a
working platform of 8m or more should change
stabilizers for extendable outriggers (Note that
Contractors shall consult the manufacturer’s
specified requirements for exact details).
The use of the scaffold tag system for mobile aluminium scaffolds with a working platform of less
than 3m is not mandatory. The scaffold tag system shall be applied to all mobile aluminium
scaffolds in excess of 3m.
Should substitute components be used in the erection process then the scaffold shall be subject to
inspection process.
In certain circumstances it will be acceptable to use a mobile tower scaffold that is
incomplete. This will only apply where the top guardrail cannot be attached due to an obstruction
such as pipe work, ductwork or containment work. In these circumstances users of the mobile
scaffold tower must use a harness and lanyard.
The lanyard must be attached to a secure anchor point, NOT the mobile aluminium scaffold itself.
The anchor point must be able to take the shock load of a falling person.
Shock absorbers must be removed or disengaged where insufficient clearance exists. Typically with
a 2m shock absorber, a clearance of 5m would be required.
5.19 Cantilevers and Platforms

All boards which make up the platform shall rest squarely and evenly on correctly spaced
transoms, and be secured to prevent accidental displacement. All boards shall be of the same
thickness. All wooden decking, platforms and boards shall be sprayed with a fire retardant spray
before assembly into the scaffolding.
Each board shall have at least three supports by more than four times its thickness unless secured
to prevent tipping; the minimum overhang shall be at least 50 mm.
Page 61 of 92
HSE PLAN .
Where boards overlap, bevels or other precautions shall be used to prevent a tipping hazard. Toe
boards shall be fixed on the side of standards and shall be at least 150 mm high. Where men have
sit at the edge of the platform between the structures, the gap between the platform and the
structure shall not exceed 300 mm. Guardrails and toe boards shall be positioned at every edge
from which a person is liable to fall more than 2m. Guardrails shall be fixed on the inside of
standards at a height of between 910 mm and
1.15m above the level of the platform. The distance between guardrails and toe boards shall not
exceed 765 mm
