Below are the activities carried out on daily basis
Lab analysis-Before production starts each separate paint has a unique formula
developed for it in the laboratory. During this development stage the paint's quality
aspects are comprehensively tested. The laboratory is also responsible for inspecting the
raw materials before they go into the product and monitoring the quality during the

 production process.
Weighing the raw materials-At the start of the production process the dry raw materials
are weighed here accurately to the gram and prepared for batching purpose according to
the instruction given in the batch cards. The pre-mixing department stores the liquid
binders and additives. The correct amount is tapped off, after which the weighed dry raw
materials are added. As small amounts of dry raw materials are left behind in the sacks
during this process, the paint has to be checked at each subsequent production step
against standards for the relevant product according to colour and viscosity, and is
adjusted if necessary.
Raw material receival, Batch process and dispersion- After receiving the raw material
in batching area RM inspection will be carried out before charging and once all ok batch
process will done according to the instruction given in batch cards .All the instruction are
well available in batch card including charging process instruction with temperature
requirement. All the safety related information are also provided in batch card such as
PPEs requirement and GHS information.
In Process QC check-once the grinding is done it will go through QC check to the

Colour inspection- Colour inspection is done by using colour spectrophotometer, it also
help to match the exact shade required by the customer.
Final QC check -Once the charging is completed final sample will be submitted to QC lab
for checking and then chemist will perform the mandatory test required as per batch card
and then give adjustment if required or will release the batch for filling
Filling-Once the batch is release from QC it will go to the packing team where the paint
will be filled as per required weight amount in cans.

Description of the area to be included in the This risk assessment will cover the manufacturing of the paint which includes raw
risk assessment material receiving and batching process

 people, premises along with safe system of work
To mitigate the risk and to identify any gaps in this operation we went through the local
legal requirements and ILO regulations from www.ilo.org/global/standards

Before starting the risk assessment we planned to have safety walk in production area
along with the production team to highlight and identify the risk involve in the operation
during RM receiving and batching process.
After completing the safety walk i also had one to one meeting with each one of the
operator so I could get more details from them about the hazards involved in each step
and process which I may be missed during my assessment and also to know how
management is supporting to deal with these hazards and what actions they are taking to
eliminate or reduce it.
Then later I went through the records and documents such as sick leave details, incident
and accident records, safety walk checklist, near-miss record, preventive maintenance
records.
Looking at the records it was found that the current health and safety provided in the
production is acceptable but there are still lot of gaps which needs to be highlighted and
recorded and accordingly actions to be taken in a sustainable method to mitigate it

the labor market, guarantee the protection and the rights of employees, and create balance
and integration when it comes to work environment efficiency between the public sector
and the private sector. It applies to employees of the public sector that are subject to the
Human Resources Law in the Federal Government, as well as the employees of the private
sector subject to the Law on the Organization of Labor Relations
According to article 36 and 37 of Federal Law-Decree No. 33 of 2021 on the
Organization of Labor Relations (the Law) are related to worker safety, protection and
health care complying to the Federal Law No. (13) of 2020 and compensation for work
injuries and occupational diseases.
As per the article the employer shall bear the expenses of the workers treatment until he
fully recovers ,in case if a work injury or occupational disease prevents the worker from
performing his work. The employer shall pay the worker the equivalent of his full wages for
the duration of the treatment or for a period of (6) six months, whichever is less. If the
duration of treatment exceeds (6) six months. Half of the wages shall be paid to him for
another (6) six months, or until the worker is cured, incapacitated, or dies, whichever
comes first
And If the work injury or occupational disease leads to the death of the worker. The family
of the deceased is entitled to compensation equal to the wage of the main worker for a
period of (24) twenty-four months, provided that the value of the compensation is not less
than (18,000) eighteen thousand dirhams and not exceed (200,000) two hundred thousand
dirhams. The value of the compensation is calculated according to the basic wage that the
worker was receiving before his death, and the compensation is distributed to the
beneficiaries of the deceased worker in accordance with what is specified in the executive
regulations of this Decree Law. While preserving the rights of the family of the deceased
from the end of service gratuity. And any other financial dues to which the worker is entitled
Also as per ILO C155 and R164 provision of occupational health and safety convention
1981 it is states that to give priorities to eliminate the hazards by engineering and
administrative control method by providing all kinds of welfare facilities.

Financial arguments-
Any accident or incident will impact the company financially which will be both direct and
indirect costs. Also all the expenses could not be cover by insurance. Employees leaving
the company due to the such incidents will result in production delay as we will lose the
experienced and trained employees and also new recruitment training and induction plan
will be again cost burden for the\ company.
Financial impacts can be considered into
1. Loss of business impacted due to any incident/accident happen.
2. Loss Time injury due to the incident happen
3. Payments made as compensation to the employee/hospitals bills
4. New requirement process and concerned expenses.
5. Legal Penalties
6. Loss of Raw Material due to the incident happened.
Further failing to address the risk legal actions will be taken against senior management
staff which may lead to his prosecution, which will further have negative impact on the
morale of employees and also company may lose its reputation which will have direct
impact on the business. This will give opportunity to our competitors to make their name in
the market within this period.

Consideration of likelihood AND severity
How effective the action is likely to be in
controlling the risk. This should include:
 the intended impact of the action;
 justification for the timescale that you
indicated in your risk assessment;
and
 whether you think the action will fully
Learner number:00661187
1975 (No. 142) it clearly states that all the guidelines, procedures, trainings should be
provided to the worker by the employer after joining the duty and before starting the work
When considering the Likelihood, I set 5 categories
 Very low- Conceivable but only under extreme circumstances
 Low- Has never happened previously but could following unusual circumstances
 Moderate- Has been known to happen/happened previously
 High- No surprise if it happened/has happened occasionally
 Very high- Often happens, regular/once a week
Likelihood for this incidents will be Moderate. If a worker is not trained for production
process and chemical hazard, which is a continuous process then there is high chances of
wrong processing and batch failure
When considering the severity, I set 5 categories:
 Light-No injuries, no or minimal financial loss, no or minimal damage/environmental
effects
 Minor- Minor injury/1st aid, minimal/medium financial loss, minimal/medium
damage/environmental effects
 Moderate- Medical treatment, medium/high financial loss, medium/noticeable
damage/environmental effects
 Severe- Hospital, high financial loss, noticeable/significant damage/environmental
effects
 Very serious- Long term injury/Fatality, significant/massive financial loss,
significant/major damage/environmental effects
Severity rating for this hazard is considered as very serious. Considering it can cause
severe injuries to the person involved and also the operational incident such as batch
failure can cause high potential business and financial loss.
 the intended impact of the action;
The action of providing proper training, guidelines and SOP will help the employee to work
with full confidence and also he will be more aware of the risk involved during processing
operation by following the SOP and guidelines
 justification for the timescale that you indicated in your risk assessment;
The timescale of 3 month we planned to complete the on job and off job training will be
sufficient to understand the process and risks. This much time is given for arrangement and

preparation for the individual employee to get well trained in the real scenario and working
condition with the help of experienced operator
 whether you think the action will fully control the risk
Providing the procedure and SOP with proper on job and off job training with experienced
operator will give him confidence as well as he will quickly adapt and learn all the things
required to do the work. Apart from the engineering safety measurements, this training will
ensure the employee complies with safe management of work all the time and eliminate the
risk completely
Ergonomic hazards due to Manual handling/unsafe handling or liftings of drums/bags and
repetitive work(ACTION 6,HAZARD CATEGORY-MANUAL HANDLING)
HERE YOU HAVE TO WRITE ANY ONE OF THE ACTIONS MENTIONED IN THE COLUMN FOUR( Further
controls part) OF PART 2
According to ILO C127 - Maximum Weight Convention, 1967 and UAE Code of Practice
No. 14.0 on Manual Handling and Ergonomics all the employee must receive appropriate
training from line managers and supervisors on manual handling operations and
ergonomics and also the risk associated with it
Please refer Likelihood category from justification 1.Likelihood in this case will be Moderate
as it is a daily routine job of lifting and carrying the bags and also tilting the drums for the
use of lifting equipment
Please refer severity category from justification 1. The severity for this operation will be
considered as severe, as the employee has to lift and carry the raw material bags on daily
routine basis which will impact their health condition if not properly lift and carry as per
safety guidelines . So if any sort of wrong manual handling could severely result in

Action
 Specific legal arguments
Consideration of likelihood AND severity
Learner number:00661187
The action of bringing pneumatic lifters and buddy control system will increase the
operation capacity and also moral of the workers as by doing so it is shows that
organization is not only thinks about the operation but also concerned about their
employees and protect them from any injuries and ill health.
 justification for the timescale that you indicated in your risk assessment;
The timescale of 6 months to replace mechanical drum lifter with pneumatic lifter will need
investment, justification and budget. We need to convince the top management about the
effectiveness of bringing pneumatic lifters and its impact on the operation and safety
 whether you think the action will fully control the risk
With buddy system(not working alone),pneumatic lifters, engineering control, weight of
bags not exceeding more than 25 kg and proper HSE training plan in place for manual
handling we can fully mitigate and control the risk
Fire and explosion due to Chemical spillage, improper handling of flammable chemicals
and solvents(ACTION 4,HAZARD CATEGORY-FIRE)
HERE YOU HAVE TO WRITE ANY ONE OF THE ACTIONS MENTIONED IN THE COLUMN FOUR( Further
controls part) OF PART 2
According to article 2 of ILO C170 chemical convention 1990, recommends the use of
chemicals at work which includes production, handling, storage, transport, disposal and
release of the chemicals
The UK regulatory reform (fire safety) order 2005 No.1541 part 2 article 12
It states about the elimination or reduction of the risk present in the premises in the form of
hazardous chemicals or substance
Please refer Likelihood category from justification 1.Likelihood in this case will be high
since it is day to day activity of handling hazardous substance and highly flammable
solvents. Fire and explosion is possible if the any kind of source of ignition is introduce in

 whether you think the action will fully control the risk.
The impact of the trainings and mock drill will fully manage to control the spill hazard and
by using high flash solvents by replacing low flash solvents the risk of fire will reduce
considerably and eliminates the risk completely
