may be required. For using oleum in the process section, I have collected the safety information from the material
safety data sheet (MSDS), internet browser & EHS department of organization.

I have also collected data Sajjan India Limited accident records and found there are repetitive
accidents for Vibration from the drilling machine while making numbers of round hole on the wall
for fitting grill and found the details of investigation too.

I have spoken to the workers from the chemical plant who were eating lunch due to canteen is far
from the plant so that they eat there. This was indicating to the worker supervisor to arrange a

Part 3: Prioritise 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 Argument: -
Moral, general legal and financial
arguments
Sajjan India Limited dealing with morals and humanitarian responsibility of all the employee who
work with the organization and all those who may have to come to the organization for different
purposes – delivery drivers, Trainer contractors, housekeeper and members of public

The workers need to get protected from any incident and suffering that may arise from their work
activities, working conditions, and equipment and chemicals that is being used. It is the duty of
Sajjan India Limited to ensure the incident are reduced and control in the workplace.

The workers come to Sajjan India Limited to work and earn money for own dependent family, If the
worker is not looked after, they may sustain harm to health which may cause the loss to their
morale, loss of job and subsequent effect on their family.

E.g.-Workers using the hazardous chemicals for manufacturing of fluorosspecialists chemical and
handling need to be provided Personal protective equipment with full body suit to protect them from
chemical hazardous. Failure can lead to major accident and subsequent effects on his personal life
too.

Financial Argument: -

Sajjan India Limited may impact on financially from poor risk management in the workplace. This
may result in incident, fatality, ill health, and property damages, etc.

Learner number: 00789139 Learner name: Maneshkumar Vallabhbhai Patel Page 15 of 23

 Accident/Incident to the workers will cost: -Hospitalization, sick pay, rehabilitation, first aid,
recruitment of new workers – train them, overtime payment to done, new tools to the workers.
Property and material damages may cost: -Equipment repair, tools replacement, maintenance of
damaged part, purchase of new equipment, structural repair.
Enforcement action due to legal non-compliances: -For example not take license of hazardous
chemicals with the Factory act - can result in accident and subsequent enforcement action such as
fines, penalties – improvement or prohibition notice issued etc. compensation – civil claim, court
fees and lawyer fees.

Sajjan India Limited may insure some of the costs that may be assessed however there will be
many more costs such as image and reputation of the Sajjan India Limited cannot be insured.
Worker’s confidence, morale and trust cannot be insured either.

Legal Argument:-

With reference ILO Convention C155– Article 16 employer is expected to foresee the Safe
workplace and surveillance and provide adequate controls to reduce the mental ill-health to the
workers involved in the workplace activities – by providing a Safe workplace and surveillance, a
safe system to developed, safe plant and equipment etc.

Sajjan India Limited has to follow the legal policy that may affect health and safety in the company
by following local rules, national rules and international rules and standards.

The non-compliance can also lead to the organization to suffer many financial implications and may
also suffer imprisonment of management, blacklisting, cancellation of business license to operate
etc.

This further may affect the organization’s reputation and image in the global market. E.g.-Failure to
comply with the legal requirement in provision of hazardous chemicals storage and provide suitable
measures to protect worker may lead to an accident and subsequent non-compliance action from
the enforcing authority

Justification for action 1

 assessment) (Hazardous category “Noise”)
Relevant ILO convention to match the hazard category: -
Specific legal arguments
As per ILO convention C148 - working environment (air pollution, noise and vibration) convention,
1977 (no. 148) Article 12-The employer is expected to provide a safe plant and equipment and
therefore provide all the control measures to protect worker from the machinery related risks.

Any other relevant ILO conventions:-

As per ILO convention C167 – ARTICLE 28, C174 – ARTICLE 10, also insists that the employer to
fulfil his responsibilities to protect worker by providing a safe plant and equipment to ensure they
are well inspected, maintained and of good quality.

Company Legal Obligation: -

Sajjan India Limited is legally obligated to ensure certain the compliance are met and accompanied
for enhancing safety in the workplace.
Consideration of likelihood AND severity Likelihood Justification: -
 types of injury or ill health The likelihood of rock cutting from drilling machine the 1 Technical staff & 2 workers to loss hearing
 number of workers at risk from noise hazards are very likely because This is daily basis of cutting operation. The maximum
time in the shift is spent in cutting work – approximately 3 to 4 hours. Presently operator is using the
 how often the activity is carried
silencer and generally this is used by the operator to get a better prospective. This makes the noise
out
of drilling machine coming in contact with the operator’s ear. If this is not controlled similar
 how widespread the risk is
equipment’s being used in other parts of the organization without silencer will also cause harm to
the workers using it.

Severity categories: -
Sajjan India Limited has already set the following categories to decide on the intensity of the harm
received by the workers – No treatment given – only report generated for investigation Minor – first
aid treatment at Sajjan India Limited Major – hospital treatment Severe – disabling injury / fatality.
Severity Justification: -

 The severity category I would like to allocate for the harm received by drilling machine operator is
‘severe’. This is because the high noise can cause hearing in the long run, may sustain noise
induced hearing loss, may have difficulty in hearing the sounds and alarms. Which may lead to
disabling injuries to the operators.

assessment; and
 whether you think the action will Time scale: -
fully control the risk
To purchase the fixed silencer for the drilling machine, I have given a timescale of two month. This
time period includes, taking the approval from senior management, requesting quotation from the
manufacturer, placing order and receiving the delivery. One month is sufficient to go through the
protocols in ordering the silencer.

Opinion: -

Use of the silencer in conjunction with the other control measures, training to the drilling machine
operators, regular maintenance of the machine and supervision for the operators to work safely and
lastly provision of ear plug can definitely reduce the risk fully.

I have allocated a timescale of one month to complete this action. This time period includes, taking
approval from the management, raising an indent with the purchasing section, placing the order
with the manufacturer and arranging the delivery of the arrestor to the worksite. Therefore, one-
month time is sufficient timescale.
Opinion: -
Use of spark Arrestor will reduce the risk of spark emission but not totally control the risk. To ensure
to control the remaining risk, it is important to use other controls too such as getting a hot work
permit for the activity, training to the worker in using the spark arrestor correctly, identifying
alternate storage area for combustible and flammable solvent etc.

Justification for action 3

Action (Taken from column 4 of risk Scaffolding to be installed for work at heights.

desires finances allotted from the company control after which the approval might be despatched to
the buying department. Then the order is placed. The scaffolding this is being purchased comes
from a unique city with inside the country. Due to the contemporary pandemic, delays can be
expected hence included additional time period too.
Opinion: -

Learner number: 00789139 Learner name: Maneshkumar Vallabhbhai Patel Page 21 of 23

 In my opinion, the use of scaffolding will reduce the worker’s need to over reach and lose balance
which is indeed reducing the major part of risk effectively. However, while this scaffolding is utilized
in aggregate with the other controls, the residual risk is also controlled more effectively, these are
developing safe system of working for using the scaffolding, preparing the emergency procedures,
training to the workers, additionally providing them with the safety harness and lifeline should help
reducing the risk to a greater extent.

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 plan to review the risk assessment along with the health and audit findings review which is due on
reasoning 4.01.2024.

I actually have decided on this date as our auditors advised to combine health and safety audit and
evaluate of any relevant health and safety documents along with the audit review on yearly basis.

However, previous to the assessment date if Sajjan India Limited calls for any modifications such
as:
 Change in process
 Purchase of latest equipment and instrument.
 Change in local rules that are applicable for Sajjan India Limited operations
 Professional advice

I will make sure to study the hazard findings to maintain it up-to-date.

How the risk assessment findings will be I will set up a proper assembly with our dealing with director who's specifically liable for Sajjan India

 invited to understand the hazard findings. All the important elements of hazard findings, the controls
and their implementation will be discussed. Upon of entirety of the meeting, i can make certain time
of conferences and duplicate of hazard evaluation is circulated to all of the accountable persons.

The good-sized findings will be displayed as posters in health and Safety notice board, cafeterias,
reception regions etc.
The supervisors can be knowledgeable to encompass danger findings of their tool box talks given
to the worker at each day basis.
The worker may also be given up to date risk assessments, procedures, manual for referring
purpose.
A formal training and meeting can be prepared in small organizations to make sure their information
at the work activity is up to date with the changes.
The workers will also be given an opportunity to put forth their concerns through the safety briefing
meetings.
Sajjan India Limited business enterprise portal may also be up to date with the brand-new hazard
findings for easy access to all worker.
How you will follow up on the risk I will ensure to set reminders on my smart phone. I will prepare a spreadsheet with the
assessment to check that the actions implementation dates against the responsible persons.
have been carried out Closer to the completion time, I will personally follow up with the responsible person to understand
the situation of the control action implementation.
I will personally visit the work areas, call the responsible persons, send those emails, and create a
WhatsApp group for regular contact.
While checking the progress, if I search any pending action, I will make sure to find the reason and
as a consequence take in with the better control to assist in imposing the manage action.
I will make sure all of the manage moves are completed, applied effectively and monitored for in
addition continual improvement.
