Risk Assessment
• A risk assessment program is but one of the many
necessary elements for a successful risk
management program.
• Once assessed, the organization needs to be prepared
to act on the findings and resulting
recommendations.
Risk Assessment
40
Risk assessment is
the overall process of
estimating the
magnitude of risk and
deciding whether or
not the risk is
tolerable
• In using the RAM, the consequence severity is
based on the potential outcome of the incident
rather than the actual outcome i.e. what might
have happened realistically rather than what
actually happened, and the likelihood estimate is
based on the previous occurrence of this
consequence due to this type of incident.
Penggunaan RAM (Risk Assessment Matrix)
RAM dapat dipergunakan dalam berbagai hal seperti :
RAM can be used for various purposes such as:
• Risk Assessement sebagai bagian dari Risk
Management (Risk assessment as part of HSE
Risk Management).
• Penetapan Prioritas upaya reduksi risiko
(Prioritizing risk reduction efforts).
• Memperlihatkan ketekunan dalam pengendalian
risiko berdasarkan kepada tingkat risikonya
(Demonstrate due diligence in risk control
according to the degree of risk).
.

Manfaat Manajemen Risiko
• Dapat memberikan informasi tentang berbagai jenis
bahaya dan risiko yang ada di tempat kerja, serta
potensinya untuk menimbulkan bahaya.
• Dapat digunakan untuk menentukan strategi dan jenis
pengendalian yang berhubungan dengan pengaturan
anggaran K3.
• Dapat digunakan untuk perencanaan penyusunan program
keadaan darurat.

Risiko
• Peluang terjadinya suatu kerugian. Keterpajanan
terhadap bahaya; kemungkinan terjadi cedera
akibat bahaya tertentu. Risiko memiliki
kemungkinan dan keparahan konsekuensi.
• Risiko bukanlah hasil (outcome) dari kejadian.
• OHSAS 18001: 2007 mendefinisikan risiko
sebagai kombinasi dari kemungkinan terjadinya
suatu kejadian bahaya atau keterpaparan dan
keparahan kecederaan atau penyakit yang dapat
disebabkan oleh kejadian atau keterpaparan
tersebut.
Risiko Murni
Risiko apa saja yang teridentifikasi yang berdiri
sendiri dan dapat dikuantifikasi dan belum diatasi
dengan penggunaaan suatu kontrol.
Risiko Sisa
Risiko sisa adalah risiko yang masih ada setelah
tindakan pengendalian (kontrol) diterapkan.
Penilaian Risiko Awal
• Penilaian risiko yang dilakukan pada tahap awal
operasi dan/atau tugas bertujuan untuk mengukur di
tingkat mana kontrol yang ada terimplementasi secara
efektif dan untuk menentukan apakah diperlukan
pengontrolan lebih lanjut.
• Penilaian baseline risk juga akan dilaksanakan bila
terdapat perubahan metodologi penambangan
/pekerjaan, penggunaan alat baru misalnya jenis truk,
eksplosif yang baru, pemakaian bahan kimia baru,
mensosialisasikan SOP yang baru, dll.
.
Identifikasi Bahaya
Proses untuk mengetahui bahwa suatu bahaya ada di
tempat kerja dan menentukan karakteristik dari bahaya
tersebut.
Penilaian Risiko Informal
Penilaian risiko yang dilakukan di tempat kerja oleh
personil atau kelompok yang ditugaskan, bersamaan
dengan inspeksi tugas, inspeksi keliling, observasi
pekerjaan, dll.

Driving defensively and being alert could
reduce the likelihood of an accident but would
not reduce the severity of the injury. Some
actions will reduce both the likelihood and the
severity. By driving slower, the chances of an
accident are reduced and the severity of the
accident is lessened (dikurangi).

improve if easy/cheap.
c. Moderate; reduce risk further; action within
months.
d. Improve substantially; action within weeks.
e. Extreme; stop immediately.
Semi-Quantitative
3. Engineering Controls
Can equipment be used to reduce the risk ?
• local exhaust ventilation
• Lighting
• Guarding •
• Isolations Enclosure
2. Substitution
Can something else be used to reduced the risk ?
• Use of water-based paints instead of solvent-based substance in
pallet/liquid from instead of powder
• Reduction in size/weight of item
1. Elimination Risk
Dose the task need to be done ?
•Use of mechanical device instead of manual handling
Risk Control Hierarchy
• Elimination - Design/ redesign or modification to
the process method or material to eliminate the
hazard completely. (100%)
• Substitution - replace the material, substance or
process with a less hazardous one. (75%)
• Separation - Isolating the hazard from persons
by safeguarding, or by space or time separation.
(50%)
• Administration - Adjusting the time or conditions
of risk exposures (30%)
Risk Control Hierarchy
• Training - Improving skills therefore making
tasks less hazardous to persons involved. (20%)
• Personal protective equipment - using as the
last resort, appropriately designed and properly
fitted equipment where other controls are not
practicable. (5%)
Remember the risk hierarchy is only a guide
to the type of actions required.
• A successful hazard evaluation program requires
tangible management support; sufficient, technically
competent people (some of whom must be trained to use
hazard evaluation techniques); adequate, up-to-date
information and drawings; and selection of the
techniques (matched to the complexity and hazard of
the process).
• Fortunately, a variety of flexible hazard evaluation
techniques exist. Below is a simple listing of generally
accepted techniques:
• 1
Qualitative Techniques
• Qualitative Techniques: These methods help a multi-
disciplinary team (1) identify potential accident
scenarios and (2) evaluate the scenario in sufficient
detail to make a reasonable judgment of risk.
• If the team is confused on the risk, a scenario
identified in a qualitative hazard review may be
further analyzed using one or more of the quantitative
techniques.
Qualitative Techniques
• Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PreHA): A technique
that is derived from the U.S. Military Standard System
Safety Program Requirements.
• The Preliminary Hazard Analysis is often used to
evaluate hazards early in the life of a process.
• A Preliminary Hazard Analysis is generally applied
during the conceptual design or R&D phase of a
process plant and can be very useful when making site
selection decisions. It is also commonly used as a
design review tool before a process P&ID is
developed
Qualitative Techniques
RISK ASSESSMENT
PROCEDURE
Risk Assessment
• Risk Assessment is the careful examination of what
could create unwanted events or incidents, then risk
assessment incorporates the identification of controls
and hazards. The aim is to apply controls
(precautions) to minimize or eliminate the occurrence
of unwanted events or incidents.
Acceptable Risk

Definitions
• Activity : any task or process
• Aspect : any activity with environmental
consequences
• Hazard : potential source of harm, danger or loss
• Risk : a measure of the importance of the potential
loss. Risk has two elements ----- the likelihood of
something happening and the consequences or
impacts if it does.
Definitions
• Risk assessment : is a methodical process to evaluate
and calculate the risk associated with activities or
aspects.
• Current risk : the risk that exists after considering
current controls .
• Residual risk : the risk that remains after implementing
additional controls.
• Controls : are precautions design to minimize or
eliminate the impact or likelihood caused from
hazards.
Definitions
• Consequences : the outcome of an event (such as an
injury or equipment loss).
• Impact : the outcome of an event related to
environmental loss.
• Likelihood : the chance that a particular consequence
will result from a hazard.
• Acceptable risk ; the level of risk deemed (dianggap)
acceptable given current knowledge and circumstances
(sesuai dengan pengetahuan dan keadaan yang ada
pada saat ini).

ventilation system, competent person on the
sampling of airborne contaminant.
d. Toxicologist – expertise on the toxicity of chemicals.
Identification of Chemicals
• The purpose of this step is to identify all chemicals found
in the workplace.
• The inventory of chemicals in the workplace will
provide information on the trade and common names,
chemical compositions, quantities used or stored and
locations where chemicals are used or stored. The
inventory should also indicate the availability of
MSDS.
• Where a MSDS is not available, the supplier should be
contacted and a request made for the MSDS.
Determine Degree of Hazard
Hazard information can be obtained from the
supplier’s MSDS. A complete MSDS provides useful
information such as the hazard description, the
toxicity data, and the acute and chronic health effects.
The toxicity and hazard of each chemical is to be
assessed and designated a hazard rating (HR).
Where the required information is not available or
suspected to be inaccurate, other information sources
should be consulted.
Divide Into Work Units
RR =√ HR x L x ER
Risk Rating
• RR = risk rating on the scale of 1 to 5;
• HR = hazard rating on the scale of 1 to 5;
• L = likelihood of exposure; where L = 0 for
unlikely exposure; and L = 1 for likely
exposure; and
• ER = exposure rating on the scale of 1 to 5;
Note : the scale of 1 to 5 is in increasing order
of magnitude; Risk rating (RR) will be zero if
there is unlikely exposure and the square root is
to ensure RR is within the scale of 1 to 5.
Hazard Rating

2 4 > 200 ≤ 2000 > 1000 ≤2000 > 10 ≤20 > 2,5 ≤ 5
Moderate
Moderate release such as :
a. Solvents with medium drying time in
uncovered containers or exposed to
work environment.
b. Detectable odors of chemicals with odor
thresholds exceeding the PELs.
Evidence of contamination of air, clothing
and accumulation on work surfaces of skin
sensitizers, skin or eye irritants, or
chemicals capable of skin absorption
Table IV : Degree of Contact or Absorption
Degree Observation
High
Substantial release such as :
a. Solvents with fast drying time in uncovered
containers;
b. Sprays or dust clouds in poorly ventilated
areas;
c, Chemicals with high rates of evaporation
exposed to work environment;
d. Strong odor of chemicals with odor
thresholds exceeding the PELs;
Gross contamination of air, clothing and work
surfaces with skin sensitizers, skin or eye
irritants, or chemicals capable of skin
absorption.
Non-Quantitative Determination
Step b : Degree of contact or absorption
The degree of contact or absorption is assessed
for inhalation and dermal absorption risks.
Observation of skin contact and inhalation of
chemicals as well as examination of or feedback
from medical or workers’ health complaint records
are used to determine the degree of contact or
absorption as shown in table V.
Non-Quantitative Determination
Step b : Degree of contact or absorption
(continued)
The degree of contact is determined from the
worse of the two risks, For example, if the
degree of inhalation risk is low and the degree
for dermal risk is moderate, then the degree of
contact or absorption is taken as moderate.
