1. Summary:

This document provides details of hazards identified through inspection/audit of the worker’s
accommodation for assessment of the risks and control measures to be adopted as per hierarchy of the
control measures which are adopted by keeping in mind the “ice-berg” principle to reduce the evaluated
risks to an acceptable level.

2. Purpose & Scope:

The Karot Hydro Project involves provision of the dormitory facility to all management and for
construction/ monitoring related workers of above said Hydro power Project:

Sr. # Name Purpose

1. Rooms To Sleep & Stay during Off duty time & holiday.

6. Grocery Shop Available all General items for sale for workers and management.
7. Masjid For prayer individual & communal basis.
8. First Aid Room To provide first aid facility when required. With availability of a Dispenser/
Doctor

3. Planning For Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment & Risk Control

The table below is to be used to identify the different hazard for which risk assessment has been undertake. Each
Risk Assessment details the control measures associated with the task to be adopted, and any residual risk rating
and likelihood remaining post control measures.

RA Order No# Hazards Identified

RA 01 Slips, Trips & Fall Hazards

RA 02 Dust Hazards

RA 03 Electrical Hazards

RA 04 Fire Hazards

4. Glossary & Guide to the Use Of Our Risk Assessment Matrix

RA Risk Assessment
Hazard Source, situation or act with a potential for harm in terms of human injury, ill health, or
combination of these.
Risk A risk is the combination of likelihood of an occurrence of a hazardous event.
Risk The process of evaluating hazard(s) taking in to account the adequacy of any existing
Assessment controls, and deciding whether or not risk is acceptable
Consequence The outcome of a hazardous event.
Likelihood The likelihood is the chance that a hazardous event will occur.
Risk Rating Following steps will be taken to rate the risk.

4.1.1 Determine the Consequences (C)

Following table will be used to determine the most appropriate consequence in terms of harm that might occur
with existing risk controls.

Level Description Examples

1 Insignificant No injury

2 Minor Minor injuries needing first aid

3 Moderate Up to three days absence

4 Major More than three days absence / LTI

Death or permanent disability to one or more persons, Irreversible

5 Catastrophic
Environmental damage, Destruction of the property.

4.1.2 Determine the Likelihood (L)

Following table will be used to determine the most appropriate likelihood of the determined hazardous event
occurring.
