RISK ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS


INTRODUCTION
Health and Safety legislation requires employers to introduce and maintain a system of Risk
Assessment (RA) for all those work places and activities in which they are involved.
In simple terms, this requirement identifies possible situations in which harm to a person, property
or the environment may occur. This knowledge should then be used to remove the harm or
minimise as low as reasonably practicable.
North Star Shipping (Aberdeen) Ltd. is committed to the health and safety of its employees, the
safety of its vessels, and the protection of the environment.
There should be a valid Risk Assessment in place for all work and activities carried out.
LEGISLATION
Merchant Shipping and Fishing Vessels (Health and Safety at Work) Regulation 1997
KEY DEFINITIONS
Risk Management in health and safety is the process of identifying hazards, assessing
risks, introducing control measures to eliminate or reduce risks so far as is reasonably
practicable, monitoring and reviewing.
A Hazard is something with the potential to cause harm. (These can be substances, parts of
a machine, forms of energy, and methods of work or situations).
Risk is a measure of the likelihood that the harm from a particular hazard will occur,
taking into account the possible severity of the harm.
Risk Assessment is the process of identifying hazards present in a work undertaking, analysing the
level of risk, considering those in danger, and evaluating whether hazards are adequately
controlled, taking into account any measures already in place.
Essentially, Risk Assessment:
Correctly and accurately identifies ALL hazards.
Identifies who might be harmed and how
Determines the likelihood of harm arising.
Quantifies the severity of the harm.
Identifies and disregards inconsequential risks.
Records the significant findings
Provides the basis for implementing or improving control measures.
Provides a basis for regular review and updating.
The assessment of risks must be "suitable and sufficient". The process need not be
overcomplicated. This means that the amount of effort that is put into a assessment should depend
on the level of risks identified and whether those risks are already controlled by satisfactory
precautions or procedures to ensure that they are as low as reasonably practicable. The assessment
is not expected to cover risks that are not reasonably foreseeable.
Risk Assessment should be seen as a continuous process. In practice, the risks in the workplace
should be assessed before work begins on any task for which no valid risk assessment exists.

RISK ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS


GENERIC RISK ASSESSMENT
There is a requirement, clarified in the latest revision of the ISM code, for the company to assess
all risks to health and safety of workers arising in the normal course of their activities and duties.
The results of these Risk Assessments are then used to ensure that control measures are contained
within the company Integrated Management System
Whilst it is clear that the company can assess the risk of, for example, working at height, working
with electricity, movement about ship etc. it is impossible for us to conduct a Risk Assessment for
changing a navigation bulb up the main mast on a given vessel on a given day as we would not be
able to take into account all of the factors that where applicable at that time on that vessel. For
this reason it is essential that these Generic Risk Assessments are used in context, and not seen
as being suitable for specific tasks. For this Task Based Risk Assessments need to be carried out
on board each vessel by those involved in the work.
TASK BASED RISK ASSESSMENT
These are vessel and task specific Risk Assessments which must be carried out on board each
vessel. There are two distinct types of TBRA that should be used. Firstly you need a range of
vessel generic TBRAs that can be used for all routine low risk tasks for both crews. For these
you will use the relevant crew positions rather than specific crews names and give them a longer
validity, up to a maximum of one year. The second type of TBRA is for specific higher risk jobs
that are not routine, such as working aloft or confined space entry. For these you need to name the
specific persons that will be involved in the work and make the TBRA valid only for the duration
of that job.
In both cases the names of the persons involved in the assessment must be listed in the Assessors
box, this is to demonstrate that the assessment was carried out by competent crew who understand
the work being assessed.
A valid task based risk assessment needs to be in place for every task carried out on board the
vessel. This does not mean that it needs to be done every time a simple task is carried out, but the
existing Risk Assessment must be referred to as part of a Tool Box Talk before the task can
commence to ensure that the hazards and controls are fully understood, still relevant and
appropriate.
Once the task commences, it is important to monitor the work site for any changes in conditions
that might alter the hazards and controls in place. If there is any concern, Stop the Job. Any
individual has the authority, right and responsibility to Stop the Job. Crew members will not be
criticised for stopping the job even if it turns out to be based on false reasoning.
MINIMUM SUBJECT LIST
The company minimum subject list should continue to be used as a guide to the essential work
activities that should be covered as a minimum. This list is, however, not exhaustive and it must
be ensured that all work and activities are covered by a valid TBRA. The list can be found at the
end of these instructions.
THE RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESS
It is important to understand that a Risk Assessment is a thinking process not an administrative
task. It relies on active consideration and discussion of all of the hazards that may be present in
any given task, and it is very important that all of the crew that are likely to be involved in the task
being assessed are involved in the Risk Assessment process. Decisions on what hazards exist
when carrying our any given task should be collectively agreed by all. In this way you will
Rev 2, Dec 2011

RISK ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS


benefit from the collective experience and knowledge off all, rather than trying to cover all
possible eventualities on your own. All present need to be fully involved in this process, and the
quiet ones at the back should be encouraged to join in; they may be the ones that have done this
before, and possibly seen it go wrong and understand the hazards better than others that may be
more vocal.
Using the Electronic Risk Assessment Program (see the quick start guide for a step by step guide
to using the system) most of the hazards along with their associated risks and control measures can
be selected from the Generic Risk Assessments or your own existing TBRAs and this will be
quite straight forward.
You should consider how you want to name the tasks to ensure that you can easily find them at a
later stage. You may want to number them or use a prefix system, for example Engineering, 001;
changing injectors thus keeping all engineering related Risk Assessments together in the system.
Alternatively you could prefix engineering tasks with an E, Deck tasks with a D, Catering with
a C etc. How you approach this is up to you, as long as your vessels indexing system is
effective.
Review
Select the review due period with care. A review period should be established appropriate to the
level of risk. The maximum interval between reviews shall not exceed 1 year. A general rule of
thumb is that the more hazardous and less routine the tasks the shorter time the RA should be valid
for. A RA for cleaning the accommodation could perhaps last for 6 months (all summer, with a
separate one for the winter months where weather factors may change substantially) where as a
RA for changing a head on the main engine will probably only be valid for that one occasion
perhaps for one day only.
You may also want to put parameters on your risk assessments to ensure all circumstances are
covered, for example Launching Port FRC in calm conditions (up to force 2), Launching Port
FRC up to force 4 etc. There will probably be different hazards in lunching the Port boat to those
involved in launching the Starboard boat also and these should be covered with separate TBRAs
as appropriate.
Should there be a change to legislation, current control measures, equipment and procedures,
working environment or physical change to the vessel which may alter the risk factor, the
activities affected by these changes should be reviewed and amended as appropriate.
When you open the system it will indicate which RAs are approaching the end of their validity
period and need to be reviewed by a number in brackets on the reviews due button. To review
these just click on the button. You can then chose a period and see all of the RAs that need to be
reviewed by that time. By double clicking on any given RA here it will be opened and you can
carry out the review. Once done click on the done tick box and you can enter comments which
will be saved as the review history of the RA.
Permit
If you select a hazard from a Generic RA and a permit is required it will show up on the finished
RA. If you are building a RA from scratch and a permit is required under the Management
System the use the Permit required for this Job? button a green tick means a permit is required,
a red cross means it is not.

Rev 2, Dec 2011

RISK ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS


Steps
You can choose whether to conduct the RA on the task as a whole or break it down into steps.
Most routine low hazard jobs can be assessed as a whole and would not benefit from breaking
down into steps. If steps are used they can be named, edited, added or deleted in the steps row
of controls. You can also change the order of the steps if you need to.
Hazard Identification
Hazard identification is a crucial step of risk assessment. Significant hazards that could result in
serious or significant injury should be identified. Very trivial hazards may be ignored otherwise
the risk assessment can become overcomplicated and unusable.
Hazards will vary from workplace to workplace but the hazard checklist can be used to identify
most of the common hazards that are significant in many workplaces.
It is important that unsafe conditions are not confused with hazards, during the hazard
identification. Examples of unsafe conditions include missing machine guards, faulty warning
systems and oil spillage on the workplace floor.
Evaluation of Risk Level
Risk is made up of two parts; one being the likelihood and the second being the severity. So the
actual risk to you in conducting the work is calculated as the combination of likelihood and
severity. We have developed a coloured matrix to assist you in determining the risk. During most
risk assessments it will be seen that many of the risks posed have already been addressed or
controlled as a result of our Generic Risk Assessments and through the procedures contained in
the Management System.
The purpose of the risk assessment therefore, is to reduce the remaining risk as far as is reasonably
practical. This is called the residual risk. You must ensure that you make a realistic assessment of
the risk rather than look at the worst case scenario. For example, it can be argued that you would
die falling down a set of stairs. This can be true, but the most likely injury would be bruises and at
worst a broken bone. It is tempting to use the worst case scenario but this must be avoided.
Toolbox Talk
A Toolbox Talk is also a form of Risk Assessment carried out at a lower level than a TBRA. Its
prime purpose is to talk through the procedures of the job in hand and the findings of the TBRA
with the people involved. It is important that you understand that a toolbox talk is classed as a risk
assessment and should be considered as such.
The development and maintenance of a safe working culture can only be effective if everyone is
included and actively involved. The use of toolbox talks is an invaluable means of involving
those most at risk, i.e. the employees, sub-contractors, without incurring any significant time
penalty.
A toolbox talk should be conducted prior to any work being carried out which involves more than
one person and where there is significant risk to persons or assets. For example, prior to
commencing the dismantling of a ships crane, a toolbox talk should be carried out so all involved
in the activity are made aware of the hazards of the job and what are is going to happen, i.e. means
of communications, procedures to be followed and the individual roles. In most cases this will
only take a few minutes as the crews are experienced in this type of work.

Rev 2, Dec 2011

RISK ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS


This is not new and you already do this as a matter of course.
When carrying out a toolbox talk it is important to actively involve the people in the process and
encourage their participation as well as making sure you listen and deal with any questions or
concerns. Once finished, confirm that all have understood and are satisfied with the points &
solutions raised, and their role in the task is understood. This should then be recorded on the
toolbox talk check sheet. If any existing risk assessment is being used then this can also be
recorded on the same toolbox talk sheet.
Recording of Findings
Finished TBRAs must be printed and retained in the TBRA folder until superseded. Only the
latest valid TBRA needs to be retained as each carries a history of its revisions within the system.
For Vessel Generic TBRAs the toolbox talk should be recorded on the toolbox talk form (NS
109) which must be kept in the back of the RA folder. For Task Specific TBRAs the names of
the persons involved are printed on the back page of the RA to facilitated recording the Toolbox
Talk.
Tool box talk records must be retained for a period of 3 years for legal reasons. In any case where
an injury or third party damage has occurred a copy of the valid TBRA and toolbox talk form shall
be forwarded to the office as part of the level 1 investigation report. DO NOT print a copy to
attach as it will have the current date and time on it. Scan or photocopy the valid one from the
folder and submit that in order to ensure the date and time is correct.
The Master will be ultimately responsible for the proper conduct of the TBRA system onboard his
vessel.
SUMMARY
The main purposes of Risk Assessments are:
To identify hazards and make workers aware of them.
To identify those at risk from exposure to the hazards.
To check that existing control measures are adequate.
To identify and apply additional measures which may be necessary to further reduce the
risk to a level that is as low as is reasonably practicable.

Electronic Risk Assessment System


Quick Start Guide
Start
1. Setup the system
Click on the desktop Icon This will open the program on
your computer
When you first use the system you will initially need to click
on the crew tab, this will take you to a screen where you add the
details of all of your crew. You need to do this first so that you can
include them in the Risk Assessments. You should enter all of your
crew by name and position, and also add generic terms such as
Deck Crew, Boat Crew Catering Crew, OOW Deck etc to cover
all of the positions on the vessel. The tick box in the Active column will fill in automatically as you add names. This indicates that
these persons are available to the system when creating RAs. If any
are not on board un-tick the box by clicking on it, clicking again
will re tick the box. Once you have finished click on the exit bar at
the bottom.

2. Start a Risk Assessment


Click on the Task Based Risk Assessment button, this will take
you into the system.
If this is the first time the system has been used you will now see
the New Risk Wizard, if not, click on New Risk and the New Risk
Wizard will appear.
Enter the name of the task the risk assessment will cover. You may
also want to assist the indexing of the RA database by prefixing
Engine room RAs with E, Deck with D etc, or by using a numbering system. What ever works best for your vessels systems.
Click on the next button, you will then be asked to enter the name
of the first step.
If you are breaking the task down into steps put the name of the first
step in here. If you do not want to use steps just put N/A here. As a
guide most straightforward and routine tasks can be covered with a
single TBRA, only the more complex or high risk tasks would normally need to be broken down into steps.
If you are happy with the entries click Next then Finished
This should take you into worksheet for the new RA. If it does not
click on the down arrow next to the Find Risk box at the bottom
and double click on the RA you are working on. Now you are ready
to do your first TBRA.

3. Create a single step TBRA


You will be creating two distinct types of TBRA for your vessel. Firstly you need a range of vessel generic TBRAs that can be
used for all routine tasks for both crews. For these you will use the relevant crew positions rather than specific crews names and give
them a longer validity, up to a maximum of one year. The second type of TBRA is for specific higher risk jobs that are not routine,
such as working aloft or confined space entry. For these you need to name the specific persons that will be involved in the work and
make the TBRA valid only for the duration of that job. Both types are created in the same way as follows;Using the drop down box to the right of the Personnel involved box select the persons or crew positions that will be involved in
the TBRA. This can be done by double clicking on the names or by highlighting the relevant names and using the arrow boxes.
Once you have done this click on the exit bar at the bottom of the box.
Enter the names of the assessor(s) in the same way. Assessors must always be named as we need to be able to show that the
TBRA was carried out by competent persons that are familiar with the work being covered by the TBRA.
Click on the Location box and enter the location on the vessel. As you build up your database of TBRA these locations will be
available from the drop down menu in this box.
The created review due and last updated boxes will update the dates automatically, you dont need to do anything with these.
In the period box use the drop down box to select the validity period, this period would be shorter for high risk and non routine
tasks and longer for lower risk routine ones. Maximum validity period is one year. This option defaults to 1 month if not selected.
If a permit is required for the task click on the permit button and it will change into a Green tick. Click again and it will turn
back into a red cross if a permit is not required.
You are now ready to start to list the hazards for the task, there are two options here, first option;- you can select existing hazards and
import them, along with their control measures, from any existing Generic or TBRAs stored in your database, this is how to do it;Click on the Import Hazards button at the bottom right of the page. You can now select from the Generic risks or the TBRAs
with the Risk Type radio buttons at the top of the page. Select the Generic ones for this exercise as you will not yet have entered any TBRAs, the selected button has a green centre.
Click on the blue down arrow to the right of the Risk box, you will then see a list of the Generic risk assessments available to
you, you may need to scroll down to see them all. Select the first item on the list that may be involved on the task you about to
carry out, for example if the work includes cleaning you would select chemicals. You will then see a list of the hazards associated with using chemicals in the top box.
Go through the list and select any of the hazards that apply to the task you will be carrying out, this is done by double clicking on
the hazard. If they all apply you can click on the add all button. You will now see the selected hazards have moved into the bottom box. Please note that this is the actual Risk Assessment process, thinking about what can cause harm whilst doing the work.
The risks and hazards in the data base are in effect a set of check lists of things to be considered before doing the job, this is best
done with the crew that normally carries out the work. They are the experts and know best how the work is done.
Continue to select hazards in this manner until you have covered all of those that may apply. If you want to remove any of them
simply double click on them in the lower box. Tip;- once you have built up some local TBRAs if you are doing a similar job to
one done before you can open the existing TBRA and click add all that apply for this stage.
Once you are happy that you have selected all the hazards that apply click on select, you will then be returned to the main screen
and will find that each of the selected hazards have been imported into the page, along with the hazard effect, initial risk, control
measures and residual risk associated with each hazard.
Rev 3; Jan 2012

Create a TBRA.Continued.
The next stage is to check each of the selected hazards to ensure they fully cover the work and make any
adjustments that may be needed:You will then see the boxes on the right contain the details that relate to the first hazard on the list
at the left.
At this point you will discover that you can not change the details of the potential hazard, hazard
effect, initial risk and control measures for any hazards imported from a Generic Risk Assessment.
This is because these are decided by the company and must be applied to all work carried out.
You can make changes to any that have been imported from a TBRA however as these relate to
circumstances on your vessel at the time the work is being done and these can change.
You can define any additional measures that you feel are needed to control the work on your vessel.
This is done by typing into the additional measures box.
If you have put additional measures in place you may be able to reduce the residual risk. This is
done by double clicking on the small box with the number and letter in, you will then see the risk
matrix pop up and you can select the appropriate risk by double clicking on the box which you feels
most likely describes the risk factor after all the controls are in place.
You need click on and check each of the hazards in turn to ensure that they are correct, and insert
any additional controls that are needed. If you find any hazards are not relevant or repeated you
can remove them by first clicking on the hazard and then clicking on the delete hazard button.
If any hazards associated with the work have not yet been covered you can now add them. To do this;Click on the new hazard button.
Type the details of the potential hazard & hazard effect into the boxes.
Double click on one of the small initial risk Severity, Likelihood or Risk boxs and select the risk
factor by double clicking on the appropriate box.
Type in the control measures. You will not need additional measures as all should be covered here.
Double click on one of the small residual risk box and select the residual risk factor by double
clicking on the appropriate box as you did for the initial risk.
Once this is done and you are satisfied that you have covered all of the hazards for the jog you have
completed the TBRA. If you are using steps you need to move to stage 4 at this time.
Once you have finished the TBRA then click on the print risk button, select your TBRA and then you
can chose whether to view on screen or send to the printer. The system automatically saves your work
as you progress through the RA, there is no need to for any action on your part to ensure they are saved.
In order to be valid the TBRA must be printed and put in the file, the date and time of printing is automatically included. You can print additional copies if required.
Full instructions and further information is contained in the manual supplied with the software, please
be sure to read this in order to gain maximum benefit from using the system.

4. Using additional steps


If you are splitting the task into steps, once you have added all of the hazards for the first
step, you can add further steps as follows;Click on the new step button.
Enter the name of the new step and click OK.
As in the first step click on the Import hazards box to add the hazards associated with
this step.
Continue as for the first step until all relevant information for this step is added
Continue adding steps as required. You can go back and edit the steps, change their
order or delete them as you need to. These step editing tools can be useful if you are
building your TBRA from a pre existing one from your database.
Once this is done you have completed the TBRA. You may then click on the print risk
button, select your TBRA and then you can chose whether view on screen or send to
the printer.

Managing the system


Completed TBRAs should be printed off and Filed in the folder supplied. There
should be a valid TBRA available for all work and activities carried out on the vessel.
Vessel Generic TBRA should be referred to periodically as appropriate, either at a
morning toolbox talk or prior to a particular task being carried out. This can be recorded on a toolbox talk form and filed in the back of the folder.
Higher risk non routine TBRA toolbox talks should be recorded on the last page of the
TBRA where the names of those listed as being involved are printed before being
filed. Only printed copies are valid. The TBRA is timed and dated when printed.
RA review frequency must be relative to the level of risk involved in the work and as a
minimum every 12 months. A reminder (in brackets) of any RAs that need reviewing
will be seen on the reviews due button on the opening screen 30 days before the
review is due. To review simply click on the button, select this month and then
double click on the RA you want to review. Make any changes needed, check the
period is correct and then click done. The system will ask you to check that the review is completed, click on yes, a text box will come up asking for comments. These
will form a history of reviews on the system. Enter suitable text and click OK, the
review is then complete. The RAs do not need to be reviewed every time the work is
carried out if the circumstances have not changed. If a particular RA is no longer
valid, for example if done for a specific high risk task, it does not need to be reviewed
where a new RA would be done should the task be repeated.
A file should be maintained with all of the Generic and vessels TBRAs and toolbox
talk forms in it.
The TBRA system will be checked at Internal Audit.
