HAZOP

HAZOP Technique and Methodology A very useful article on Hazop methodology and technique. The HAZOP process is based on the principle that a team approach to hazard analysis will identify more problems than when individuals working separately combine results. The HAZOP team is made up of individuals with varying backgrounds and expertise. The expertise is brought together during HAZOP sessions and through a collective brainstorming effort that stimulates creativity and new ideas, a thorough review of the process under consideration is made.

Confined Space (32 Slides) Confined spaces are enclosed spaces that are large enough for workers to enter and perform work assignments, but have limited openings to enter and exit and are not designed for continuos employee occupancy. If a confined space poses certain hazards, it could be deemed a "permit-required" confined space which would require the entrant to obtain a permit before entering such a space. This presentation provides a good grounding in Hazards and Entry Permit Aspects. To view, please download the Free Power Point Viewer from Microsoft (Click Here).	Free Download

Dropped Objects (12 Slides) During all lifting an installation activity there is a possibility that the lifted object will be lost and drop onto other equipment on the platform, the barge, or the sea. The consequence of a falling object might be harm to personnel, structural damage, damage of equipment and possible also release of hydrocarbons resulting in hazardous environments. This presentation (developed for Oil and Gas Drilling Operations) provides an overview on the consequences of dropped objects. Specifically, examples considered are Dropping a small object, Dropped Object onto a Stabbing Board, Dropped Object Elevator Bell Guides, Gauge Cable Parted and Dropped and Dropped Objects from the Derrick.

Electrical Safety (12 Slides) Electricity is everywhere and it's a very useful part of our lives. Yet it only takes one old or poorly wired plug or connection to prove just how powerful it is. This presentation provides an overview, looks at responsibilites within an organisation, controlling administrative and engineering hazards. There is a brief overview on PPE and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). To view, please download the Free Power Point Viewer from Microsoft (Click Here).	Free Download

Knife Safety - Utility Knife Procedure We had some great feedback on the knife safety feature in our November newsletter (Click Here). To download the knife safety article (Click Here). I am very grateful to Mr Pieter Matthyser for sharing this superb document on Utility Knife Directive. In Pieter's words..."The whole idea was to control the combination of user and knife and to reveal alternatives. You would be surprised at how many people are unfamiliar with the right tool for the right job".	Free Download

Preventing Slips, Trips and Falls (10 Slides) Slips & trips are the most common cause of major injuries at work. They occur in almost all workplaces, 95% of major slips result in broken bones and they can also be the initial causes for a range of other accident types such as falls from height. This primer (power point) slide show focuses on: identifying hazards; good housekeeping; fall protection equipment; scaffolding, open holes and grating.

Safety Observation Reporting This is a simple to deploy template for a Safety Observation Programme. Generally, located throughout the facility as small cards (or carried in person), observations are captured by any employee, collected and corrective actions followed up. The use of a reward or recognition also enhances the programme performance.	Free Download



Short Risk Assessment Guide for Noise at Work A short guide on how to set about organising an assessment of the risk of hearing damage in a workplace.	Free Download



Slips and Trips (15 Slides) Slips and Trips - This presentation provides guidance for identifying hazards and controlling risks. Slips and trips, together with resulting falls, are the main cause of major injuries at work. Costs to business can include civil damages, administration and insurance costs, lost production and absences from work. The presentation looks at Assessing Slip and Trip Risks and Managing Risks.

Task Based Risk Assessment (32 Slides) Task Based Risk Assessment (TBRA) is fundamental to reducing the likelihood of accidents at work and it has been identified as a key area to be addressed to promote safety improvement in the workplace. This presentation focuses on TBRA, tools (including checklists), hazards and hazard effects. The presentation also includes a completed exercise which looks into a violent reaction of magnesium oxide and hydrochloric acid which resulted in a severe boil over and expulsion of materials from a reactor.

Qualitative Risk Assessment

General Hazards Checklist This pdf version offers an insight into common hazards found in the workplace. Ask yourself - Do these hazard exist? Do we have a means for deciding if they matter? What would be the consequences if the hazard was realised? Are there controls in place? Are they adequate and used? Are more control measures required? Is supervision adequate and is there any information training requirement?	Free Download



Integrated Risk and Aspects Assessment Model Qualitative and Quantitative risk assessment template that can be used for integrating with EHS Management Systems. The scoring baseline is large and hence the ability to pick clearly high category items become a little easier when you have a lot of them (typically greater than 500).	Free Download



Office Safety Observation Checklist A basic and simple to deploy template for Office Safety Observations. Applications are based upon selecting a small team within the office environment who are then provided training and a schedule to conduct periodic inspections. Actions are recorded and tracked for closure. The checklist can of course be expanded and enhanced to meet specific requiremements with your workplace. Overall, a good primer!	Free Download

Quantitative Risk Assessment

Dow Fire and Explosion Index (18 Slides) The Dow Chemical Company originally developed the Fire and Explosion Index in 1964. It is based on empirical analysis of what factors contributed to the likelihood and magnitude of a very large number of actual events. When conducting an F&EI analysis, these factors are assigned as penalties if they are present in the process being examined. The Fire and Explosion Index is widely used in many industries and is recognized as the leading hazard index by the chemical industry. When combined with the Chemical Exposure Index (CEI) to form a Risk Analysis package, the potential risks to a manufacturing unit can be better understood. Members are advised to refer also to the downloads in the Health and Safety webpage for further support and guidance. To view, please download the Free Power Point Viewer from Microsoft (Click Here).

Quantitative Assessment of Environmental Aspects Example model on how to quantitatively assess Environmental Aspects identified as part of ISO14001 development and implementation. Organisations may adopt and/or modify the model to meet their specific requirements. Setting the "cut off" criteria for significance is pivotal for success and factors such as resources (financial, people etc) must be taken into account. For an advanced and integrated (Environmental, Health and Safety) model, please refer to the excel spreadsheet also provided as a download (see below).	Free Download
