There are many hazard that can occur in laboratory. Hazard is a situation that can harm
human injury, damage to property and environment. In Industry Safety and Health, to identify the
type of hazard at laboratory by using HIRRAC. There 3 step process of HIRARC which is hazard
identification, risk analysis, and risk control.

The title of this experiment is radiation heat transfer. There are many hazard that can be
identified from work activities that can be listed before, and during, experiment. First work activity,
which is connected apparatus to electrical supply before starting experiment. Make sure our hand
is not wet or clean from water. This is because, when our hand become wet it will give excessive
electrical current to our hand. As effect student might get shock because of electrical current. Next
hazard is about how to settings power control. Unguarded machine with wrong settings will cause
explosion, or fatal injury. After that, the objective of this experiment is to record result reading of
radiometer with heat source during the experiment. There are two hazards from this work activity.
First, student suddenly touches the heat source which will cause burn skin during using
radiometer. Besides, during recording radiometer student must be careful during record result.
The hazard that can get from this activity is when student suddenly clamp hand during the
experiment which it will cause minor injury. Next students who stay too near and too long exposed
with heat from heat source will cause heat stroke. Lastly, during the experiment sitting on the
chair with wrong posture can effect body posture especially backbone.

Risk analysis is to identify level of risk. Formula of risk is likelihood x severity. Based on
the HIRRARC table from our experiment, there are three level of risk which is low, medium, high.
There is one work activity with low risk which is clamp hand between radiometer and heat source
that will cause minor injury. For medium risk, there are four work activities that will cause hazard
which are connected apparatus to power supply, record radiometer reading and suddenly touch
the heat source, too near with heat source that exposed to heat, and sitting on chair with wrong
posture. Lastly, there is one work activity that will cause high risk which is settings power control.
Unguarded and wrong settings power control will cause explosion and will give effect fatal injury.
The three level of risk which is low, medium, and high is very important in HIRARC because action
will be taken to prevent hazard based on the level of risk.
 For risk control, there are a few recommended measure. Risk control is very important to
counter or prevent of hazard identification. The student also must wear leather hand glove and
follow Standard Operation(SOP) rules to avoid from excessive current during connect apparatus
to electrical supply. Next follow procedure of lab manual safely and carefully handling equipment
during using laboratory apparatus to avoid any hazard. Besides make sure doing experiment
guide by lecturer or technician in laboratory. During the experiment, student must site on chair
with a good posture. Because wrong posture can affect body posture and as effect, it will hurt
backbone.
