Any assessment must be SUITABLE and SUFFICIENT

 WHAT IS A RISK ASSESSMENT?
A hazard is something that has potential to cause injury to
personnel, or damage to the environment or equipment

That something may be equipment, an activity, a condition, or

a work method

A risk is the likelihood of a hazard actually causing injury or

damage

Risk Assessment is simply the process in which we identify

risks, and assign controls to eliminate or reduce these risks
to an acceptable level

The residual risk should be As Low As Reasonably

Practicable
 OTHER RISK ASSESSMENTS
Many jobs come complete with their own form of risk
assessment in the shape of JHA and Job Safety Plan

Any job covered by a permit will include a JHA and Job Safety
Plan supplied by the PTW Originator

More complicated jobs will have a Formal Method Statement

However all the above assessments have a fundamental

weakness….

Unlike TRIC, none of the assessment processes mentioned

above involve all the work party in identifying risks on site
 WORKSITE HAZARD & RISKS
As a result, other assessments do not take into account the
unique characteristics of a work site, and its environment
No two jobs are exactly the same
No two work sites are identical; each work site will present
different hazards
The same work site can present different local conditions on
different days, or even at different times in the same shift
Typical examples of this are:
Changes in weather and wind direction
Presence of another work party
Differences in lighting between day and night
Changes in the process e.g. a pump running
 TRIC TALKS – BEST PRACTICE (1)
The Talk Leader should be the Permit Holder

A ‘TRIC’ talk will only take about 10 minutes

Be disciplined at the ‘TRIC’ don’t get side tracked

In an ideal world, every TRIC talk would be held on site.

However in certain circumstances, environmental conditions

make this difficult

High noise levels remote locations, extreme weather

conditions and the need to wear SCBA are common examples

In such cases it is acceptable to hold the TRIC talk off site at

the station or PTW issue point
 TRIC TALKS – BEST PRACTICE (2)
However, no TRIC should be conducted without a visit to the
work site by the team at some point in the TRIC process

Regardless of location, it is essential that all personnel

involved in the task attend the TRIC, and that it is held in a
location where there are no distractions (so don’t use the tea
shack)

Communication within the team must be easily carried out

The TRIC talk should be an interactive session, not a lecture

from the talk leader

The aim at the end of the talk, is to identify all the risks, and
ensure that everyone in the work party is aware of the work
plan, his responsibilities and the what to do in an emergency
(Safety Plan)
 TRIC TALKS – BEST PRACTICE (3)
The Permit Holder will ‘refresh’ the TRIC with his work party at
the start of each following day

The Permit Holder will ‘sign his initials and date’ the TRIC
each following day to show the TRIC has been refreshed

No need for the Area Authority / Area Operator to attend the

TRIC for continuing work on following days – PTW work party
only required
