PURPOSE:
To establish & maintain procedure for identification of hazards, the
assessment of risk and implementation of necessary control measures.

SCOPE: This document is valid for the scope mentioned in the Apex
manual.

DEFINITIONS:
Hazard: - Source, situation or act with a potential for harm in terms of
human injury or ill health or a combination of these.
Risk: - Combination of the likelihood of an occurrence of a hazardous event
or exposure(s) and the severity of injury or ill health that can be caused by
the event or exposure(s).

RESPONSIBILTY:
Dept. Heads / Construction Managers & MA

PROCEDURE:

1. MA and Top Management identify the persons from various functions

from site and HO to form OH&S core team.
2. The core team conducts initial OH&S review at all functions. During
the study, all the areas / operations are covered and due consideration
is also given to potential risk of emergency situation.
3. The core team identifies the OH&S Hazards. There can be more than
one hazard for each activity and a hazard can have More than one
risks associated with it.
4. The hazard is identified considering
a) Routine and non-routine activities;

including their adaptation to human capabilities.

Evaluation of risks
1. The core team members in consultation with respective Operations In
charge carry out the evaluation.
2. Prioritize identified hazards by using severity table no 1 & likelihood
table no 2.
3. Find Risk Rating by multiple of Severity and Likelihood.
4. Find the Severity and Likelihood after applying control measures and
find Residual Risk Rating.
5. Extreme risk level & High risk level as per Table no 3 will be focused
first to bring the risk
6. Extreme risks and High risks will be treated as unacceptable risks.
And this risks will be treated on priority and will be linked with
defined OCP.
7. Site specific HIRA will be prepared at site. Effectiveness HIRA will be
reviewed at HO quarterly.
8. Level by implementing controls like administrative control,
engineering control otherwise provide Personal Protective
2
 equipment’s if other control is not possible or by extra precaution and
proper supervision in the area.
9. Implement controls to control or bring risk level up to acceptable level
like
a. Elimination;
b. Substitution;
c. Engineering controls;
d. Signage/warnings and/or administrative controls;
e. Personal protective equipment.
5. The concerned Construction Manager / Site engineer is responsible
for reviewing and updating HIRA as per the job requirement.
6. Risk analysis reviewed and updated annually or whenever there is any
change in any Process/ New Equipment installed and the same is
verified during MRM.
