Part 3: Priorities 3 actions with justification for the selection
Suggested word counts
Moral, general legal and financial arguments for all actions: 300 to 350 words
For EACH action:
Specific legal arguments: 100 to 150 words
Likelihood AND severity: 75 to 150 words
How effective the action is likely to be in controlling the risk: 100 to 150 words

Moral, general legal and financial arguments for ALL actions

Moral, general legal and financial Workers from different location of SUDAN working for ELKHANDGAWI construction company .
arguments ELKHANDGAWI construction company is morally responsible to protect health and safety of its workers ,
visitors , members of the public and contractor's employees , all employees families are dependant on them
and looking on them to come back to home safely and healthy , they left their homes to give better future to
their families , almost 60 workers working with ELKHANDGAWI company , and the company must take care
of their workers to avoid them from any pain and suffering . in order to gain high productivity from workers is
to make them feel safe.
ILO conventions C167. C155 have clearly mentioned lot of legal requirements to be allowed and
noncompliance to all started above will bring worst legal , consequences against ELKHANDGAWI
construction company . These action will result non conformance report against ELKHANDGAWI company ,
ELKHNDGAWI may face terminations in care of series accidents.
It may be fined by government or Tayba engineering company in case of noncompliance , Imprisonment is
also possible in case or serious violation.
Costs associated with enforcement action.
ELKHANDGAWI is very strict for safety rules , any accident will result not only financial issues but also a
huge pressure from clients , in case of accident ELKHNDGAWI have to pay financial costs , insurance
premiums , compensation cost , sick leaves , overtime payments , hiring of new workers , replacement
expanses of injured employees , damage of tools and machines during accidents , Due to frequent it may
face enforcement actions from from government as well as form tayba engineering company which will result
delay in working progress , But if ELKHNDGAWI will pay a small amount then it will save millions of
ELKHNDGAWI and project as well.

Consideration of likelihood AND severity

 types of injury or ill health
 number of workers at risk
 how often the activity is carried
out
 how widespread the risk is
How effective the action is likely to be in
controlling the risk. This should include:

Part 4: Review, communicate and check
Suggested word counts for each section:
 Planned review date or period and reasoning for this: 50 - 100 words
 How the risk assessment findings will be communicated and who needs to know the information: 100 - 150 words
 Follow up on the risk assessment: 100 - 150 words.
Planned review date/period with I have set 14th January 2024 review date for the risk assessment , Because ELKHANDGAWI
reasoning construction company is bound to follow client and according to ‘’Tayba engineering company ‘’
health and safety department procedures , risk assessment must be reviewed after every three ‘’ 3
months’’ for high risk tasks .
How the risk assessment findings will be As all the workers , visitors inspectors or other people are under the risk of many accidents so they
communicated AND who you need to tell have to some detail information so they can get some awareness about these hazards , control
measures and roles and responsibilities . In order to give information to site team I needs approval
from the management , Then I will involve construction and HSE managers , I will convene and
argue them to call a top level meeting including top level meeting including project manager ,
engineers QC manager . I will share my finding to them and convenes them to take action . After
approval I will discuss risk assessment to workers in Tools box talk , I will make sure that they
understand the risk assessment completely.
How you will follow up on the risk After informing project manager and construction manager , I will urge the to take action . I will
assessment to check that the actions request the project manager to issue a written order to implement control measures . I will set a
have been carried out follow up date and will check the site to compliance with stated actions . I will write down my finding
and will sent an email to construction manager to put project manager in cc . I will pressurize
construction manager to take desired actions , I will keep calling the responsible persons to make
sure they don’t forget required actions , I will keep register with me for recording daily status
updates and this will make sure that all actions are completed within given timescales .
