RISK MANAGEMENT

General

Identification of significant environmental aspects and occupational health and safety hazards, risk assessments and risk controls vary greatly across industries, ranging from simple assessments to complex quantitative analyses with extensive documentation. All organisations should plan and implement an HSE risk process that suitably addresses all of their workplace activities.

Measures for the management of risk should reflect the principle of the elimination of significant environmental aspects/health and safety hazards, where practicable, followed in turn by risk reduction, with the adoption of PPE as the last resort.

The HSE risk management process (aspects / hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control) should be carried out as proactive measures, rather than reactive ones. Also, the HSE risk process should not only be applied to “normal” operations of plant and procedures, but also to periodic or occasional operations/procedures such as plant cleaning and maintenance, or during plant start-ups/shut-downs.
