Outline how the risk assessment was carried To complete this risk assessment, I consulted a number of sources of information and whichever

risk controls in place to see if they are adequate to control the risk or further controls are needed to
control the risk fully. They also helped me to identify hazards I would not identify using other
methods like observation and inspection.

I went ahead to review the health and safety records such as inspection reports, medical and
accident records, method statements, the existing risk assessment among other records. This was
intended to find any anomalies in these records and to also know whether they are meeting the
legal and standard requirements. I also carried out a site inspection to identify unsafe acts and
conditions and also checked the material safety data sheets to help me identify the hazards
associated with the chemicals used on-site including the control measures to control such hazards.

Thereafter I sat down and reviewed the notes I had made from all the methods I used to identify
hazards to decide on what additional controls are needed in order to control the risk.

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, general legal and financial Moral Arguments: It’s morally unacceptable for Delta MEP Contracting company to subject its
arguments workers to pain and suffering from unacceptable risk emanating from the activities being performed
on-site. Because when these workers leave their homes to come and work for the company, their
main motive is to make ends meet for their families and themselves. It is therefore right for Delta
MEP contracting company to ensure that these workers go back to their families healthy and safe the
same way they came because as a company, they have a moral duty to ensure that there is a
reasonable duty of care offered to its workers. Not for any other reason but because it is the right
thing to do for humanity. Because when you look at the ILO statistics, 2.3 million women and men
around the world succumb to work-related accidents or diseases every year; this corresponds to over
6000 deaths every single day. Worldwide, there are around 340 million occupational accidents and
160 million victims of work-related illnesses annually. Delta MEP contracting should not add on
these numbers but rather to do the right thing to ensure that such numbers are brought down.
Financial Arguments: If Delta MEP contracting company fails to do the right thing, it may end up
costing the company financially in form of direct and indirect costs. For example, the company may
lose public image which may lead to the company losing contracts or not being able to get new
contracts. It may also lead to workers losing morale if the working environment is not conducive for
the workers to perform their duties safely. This may affect their performance and consequently the
production or even workers leaving the company to go and look for work in other companies that
value life. The company will also lose money through increased insurance premiums because if
insurance companies spend more to compensate workers or pay medical bills because of the
increased number of workers who get ill-health or injured. The worker sick pay will also increase,

Learner number: Learner name: Page 13 of 18


overtime pay will increase among other costs.
General Legal arguments: When the company fails to provide a safe place of work, safe
equipment, safe systems of work, training, and supervision as mandated by the law in the ILO
Convention C155 and local laws and standards, the company may face legal implications such as
legal actions like prohibition notices which will stop any dangerous activity, the company or some
people can be prosecuted with the intention to imprison the offenders of the law or hefty fines
slapped on the company plus the legal fees or compensation claims paid to the injured workers
which may disorganize the company’s activities.

assessment)

Specific legal arguments According to International Labour Organization ILO C062 safety provisions (building) convention
1937 part II of the general rules as to the scaffolds states that:
 Every opening in the floor of a building or in a working platform shall, except for the time
and to the extent required to allow the access of persons or the transport or shifting of
material, be provided with suitable means to prevent the fall of persons or material.
And according to the International Labour Organisation codes of practice on safety and health in
construction states that:
All appropriate precautions should be taken:
 To ensure that all workplaces are safe and without risk of injury to the safety and health of
workers;
 To protect persons present at or in the vicinity of a construction site from all risks which may
arise from such site
Consideration of likelihood AND severity The likelihood of accidents happening that will result into injuries is likely, this is due to the fact that
 types of injury or ill health there are many workers working in these areas and on a daily basis and there is nothing that has been
done to help in reducing the risk. No barriers installed around these floor openings, neither are there

 how often the activity is carried
out The severity of this risk could cause head injuries, cuts, skin punctures caused by the protruding
 how widespread the risk is reinforcing steel bars that are present on site and yet not properly covered. Most of the above injuries
can actually be fatal.
The workers at risk of suffering injuries are welders, MEP workers, helpers, painters, other workers
for other companies who are working on these same floors approximating to 150 workers
There are several activities taking place in these areas such as MEP works, painting works and some
of them are erecting scaffolds and these activities are being carried 6 days a week and they are likely
to continue for the next 2 to 3 weeks.
Floor openings are spread all over the building but mostly on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th to 8th. Other floors at
least have those openings covered though not all.
How effective the action is likely to be in

Covering these floor openings will eliminate the likelihood of exposure to the hazard, because when
they are covered, the hazard will have been eliminated.

And according to the International Labour Organisation codes of practice on safety and health in

 All openings and other areas likely to pose danger to workers should be clearly indicated.
Consideration of likelihood AND severity The likelihood of falling from height causing injuries and even death is very likely due to the fact

ground, the landing point, weight and the type of the falling objects and the distance of a fall since
there are different floors in the building.

And the number of workers who are at risk range from MEP technicians, painters, helpers, visitors,
clients, foreman to workers of other companies since the site has more

There are different activities taking place around these areas on a daily basis by different groups of
workers on different floors especially 2nd floor to 5th floor.

The risk is on ground floor, 2nd to 5th floor of the building.

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 As per the company policy, the risk assessment will be reviewed after every 1 year. Therefore my
reasoning next date of review of the risk assessment will be on 16th/10/2023.

But in case of changes in;


 Technology
 Legislation or
 Accident and near misses occurrence
 Recommendation from enforcement agency
 change in shift patterns,
I will have to review the risk assessment even before the review date
How the risk assessment findings will be I will present the findings before a safety committee and to discuss the actions described in the risk
communicated AND who you need to tell assessment. I will also send the recorded findings of the risk assessment to the top management and
later organise tool box talk with the workers and discuss the findings of the risk assessment.
And I finally, I make sure that I post a copy of the risk assessment on the noticeboard for those
workers who know how to read to read and also put another copy in the mess hall.
How you will follow up on the risk I will use phone calls to call the persons responsible for ensuring that corrective action is taken and
assessment to check that the actions those responsible for releasing the money. That will be followed by sending emails to serve as a
have been carried out reminder to the respective people assigned with the duty of corrective action. I will physically check
on the site, if no corrective action is taken within the given time, I will take pictures of the scenes
and make an observation report and send it to those responsible for corrective action. If money is not
released, I will also follow up with the managing director and finance to find out why.
