Assalamualaikum to all who visit my blog.This is about our new task for chapter 6.This group discussion consist of 3 members, I,MUHAMMAD KHAIRIL ZAMAN, MOHAMAD FAIZAN, MUHAMAD ILMAN HAKIMI .
As we know the definition of risk is, a combination of the likehood of an occurrence of a hazardous event with specified circumstances and the severity of injury or damage to the health of people, property, environment or any combination of these caused by the event.
WHY NEED RISK CONTROL ?
Risk control is, elimination or inactivation of a hazard in a manner such that the hazard does not pose a risk to workers who have to enter into an area or work on equipment in the course of scheduled work. Why do we need risk control?
TYPE OF CONTROL
1. Elimination Action
Elimination action is remove the hazard from the workplace . For example , Get rid of the dangerous machine. An example of this would be that petrol station attendants in Ireland are no longer exposed to the risk of chronic lead poisoning following the removal of lead from petrol products sold at forecourts.
2. Substitution Action
Substitution action is replace with less hazardous condition , practice of process . For example , Replace the machine with the safer one .The solvent-properties of the two are similar but toluene is less toxic and is not categorised as a carcinogen although toluene can cause severe neurological harm.
3. Isolation Action
Isolation action is remove people from hazard .When using certain chemicals then a fume cupboard can isolate the hazard from the person, similarly placing noisy equipment in a non-accessible enclosure or room isolates the hazard from the person
4. Enginneering Control Action
Enginneering control action isolate people from hazard . For example , Attach guards to the machine to protect users .
5.Administrative controls action
Administrative controls include adopting standard operating procedures or safe work practices or providing appropriate training, instruction or information to reduce the potential for harm and/or adverse health effects to person.
6. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) Action
PPE action is protect worker with personal protection equipment which is wear something protection to protect body . For example , Wear gloves and goggle when handling the machine
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE RISK IS NOT IN CONTROL?
Workers may got the serious accident that can cause them get into the hospital such as arm and leg broken, head blooded, and the most critical is death. In order to reduce the hazard or most critical hazard rate, the employer should show commitment towards safety and health practices & therefore giveful priority to promote enforce the safety & health rules in workplace. Hierarchy of control were use in order to minimize & control the most critical hazard that exist at the workplace. Next, to ensure the safety culture can be implemented in on organization. The management & workers have to take part in any safety & health programme and give a full cooperation when come to safety & health issues.We should practice safe and healthy of living in this world with applying the enforcement rules and regulation that related the workplace safety and hygiene. The most important things in this world is "health" without it life is nothing. What- If hazard analysis is a relatively simple and flexible method and identifying and analyzing hazard in a process, activity or system. It can be apply to a wide range of circumstances in almost all industries. As one of the process hazard analysis methods listed in the OSHA Process Safety Management standard, the What -If method has become a commonly use technique, both in regulated and non regulated operation.
CONCLUSION
The conclusion we can get from this group discussion, in order to reduce hazard rate, the employer should show commitment towards safety and health practices and therefore give full priority to promote and enforce the safety and health in workplace. Beside that, Hierarchy of control were use in order to minimize and control the most critical hazard that exist at the workplace. Furthermore, to ensure the safety culture can be implemented in an organization. Moreover, the managementand workers have to take part in any safety and health program and give a full cooperation when comes to safety and health issues.
