Part 1: Background
General description of the organisation On the job site, numerous tools for carpentry, electrical, and masonry work were used, as
well as a mobile excavator, plumb bob, hoe, spade, road roller compactor, mobile grader,
crow bar, heavy jackhammer, digging bar, mobile crane, truck mounted crane, shovel,
chisel, and hammer. The two-shift schedule of Level UP Construction Company is in
effect. Each day, the first shift goes from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, while the second shift is
from 10:00 pm to 5:00 am. Six days a week, there is work to be done. Every employee
has the day off on Sunday.

Moral, general legal and financial Because enterprises are to blame for a significant portion of accidents, the idea of
arguments industrial safety is crucial to human endeavours. Workplace accidents happen when a
company's policies and procedures fail to put the health and safety of its employees first.
Such a mindset is morally repugnant in every aspect. Accidents at work result in a great
number of fatalities. A lot of people experience physical and mental suffering as a result of
unplanned employment circumstances. To earn money, people go to work. You can live
pain-free thanks to your ability to earn money. According to that viewpoint, a workplace
cannot be something that brings about pain but must instead assist individuals in avoiding
suffering in their daily life. Being a morally upright business, Level Up Construction
Company places a great value on the health and safety of its personnel. The business
thinks it is up to the company to safeguard employee morale from potential threats. The
aforementioned actions are necessary to protect the organization's moral commitment,
necessitating a prompt, effective response.
The corporation always suffers a financial loss as a result of workplace accidents.
Financial repercussions may be direct or indirect. A fatality or major property loss from a
catastrophic catastrophe could lead to protracted shutdowns, which are always bad for a
company's capacity to go forward. The financial impact of injured employees or visitors on
the business includes immediate expenses like workers' sick pay, first aid care, and lost
productivity, among other factors. Indirect costs include the difficulty in finding and keeping
employees as a result of accidents, as well as the replacement of structures and equipment
as a result of serious accidents, which may lead to the closure of the plant and lost

output.Insurance rates rise as a result of serious accidents. Accidents result in court
judgments, government penalties, victim compensation, and other financial losses. The
aforementioned actions must be taken immediately, efficiently, and effectively in order to
prevent the organisation from suffering financial loss.
The employer is required to provide a safe working environment for the employee by the
ILO agreements C155 and recommendation (R164). Legal regulations have already been
created by international and national organisations. Therefore, it is only the employer's
responsibility to make these health and safety issues right. There will be enforcement
action in the shape of fines and imprisonment if these laws are broken and an accident
occurs. The organisation must look into the suggested actions as soon as feasible and take
the necessary action to avoid any significant legal repercussions.
Action Jersey barriers should be used to divide the compaction area. When it's not possible to use
jersey barriers, use cones, warning signs, and warning tapes instead. (Work equipment
and machinery
Specific legal arguments ILO C167 - Safety and Health in Construction Convention, 1988 (No. 167), Article 16 says:
When using cars, earthmoving equipment, or materials handling equipment on a
construction site, (a) safe and appropriate access ways must be provided for them, and (b)
traffic must be organised and controlled in a way that ensures their safe operation.
ILO C167 - Safety and Health in Construction Convention, 1988 (No. 167) Article 13
states: To guarantee that all workplaces are secure and free from risk to employees' health
and safety, all necessary safeguards must be implemented.
ILO recommendation ILO R164 obligates the employer to apply work practises that are as
safe and risk-free to health as is practically possible, as well as to furnish and maintain
workplaces, machinery, and equipment.
Consideration of likelihood AND severity Heavy roller compactor movement is typical when compacting asphalt; at the moment, the
process is carried out with extreme caution. Even though a flagman has been assigned,
other duties are not sufficiently separated. Insufficient barricading may allow workers to
enter the area where roller movement is occurring. There is a good probability that a roller

operator will miss the nearby workers when moving his equipment from point A to point B
during compaction, resulting in equipment colliding with them and potentially killing them in
severe circumstances. As of right moment, the probability can be categorised as highly
likely.
This hazard affects around 20 workers. Every two months of the project, asphalt work is
completed for roughly two weeks. According to the severity rate categories below, the
severity rate might range from major to catastrophic.
Consideration of likelihood AND severity It was revealed that the lifting gears used to lift reinforced pipelines with a truck-mounted
crane were damaged. The rigging equipment is regularly inspected by the supervisor, but
the broken tools are not taken out of service right away or replaced; instead, they are put
aside. Accidental tool use by workers is more common, leading to lifting accidents such
load failure, lifting gear collapses, and other problems. This risk therefore has a high
likelihood. The current likelihood should be regarded as highly likely.
These frequently range from small physical harm, like scrapes and bruises, to serious
harm, like amputation, brain damage, and even death in severe cases. Every day on this
project, about 10 people are exposed to this danger. The severity rate may be minor,
major, or catastrophic, depending on the types of severity rate stated above.

controlling the risk. This should include:
A protocol should be in place to make sure that damaged lifting equipment is not used for
actual lifting tasks, and damaged lifting equipment should be replaced as soon as possible.

control the risk. The management is expected to assign someone to each site to carry out this function. It
won't take more than a week to start putting this into practise, and it won't take more than a
month to finish. I've therefore given this project a month's worth of my time.
Action Place barriers to prevent movement of people and vehicles near excavations. (Working at
height)
Specific legal arguments The ILO's code of practise for safety and health in construction mandates the deployment
of barriers to prevent vehicles from falling into excavations and the use of necessary
precautions to avoid worker falls as well. According to ILO Convention C155 on
Occupational Health and Safety, companies are required to give employees a safe
workplace.
Consideration of likelihood AND severity Because they constantly travel close to the edges, vehicles and employees are at a
significant risk of sliding into excavations where the soil could give way or they could slip.
No obstacles exist to stop the fall.
The magnitude of the fall is major because drivers could sustain serious injuries and
personnel within the building could die from plunging into the pit.

Part 4: Review, communicate and check
Suggested word counts for each section:
• Planned review date or period and reasoning for this: 50 - 100 words
Planned review date/period with I set the review date after 12 months. That is 08/08/2023. This is so because risk
reasoning assessment is assessed annually in accordance with business policy. I'll make sure this is
reviewed before to the date if there are any legal changes, procedural modifications,
equipment changes, etc.
How the risk assessment findings will be To present the risk assessment and discuss the need for further work on the job site, I will

manager, and site engineer. I will mail and provide physical copies of the risk assessment
to all management departments, especially those assisting these actions. The outcomes of
the risk analyses will be posted on all of the message boards on the website. I'll make sure
that daily toolbox discussions and general safety awareness are used to inform employees
about the findings of this risk assessment and the additional controls that will be
implemented.
How you will follow up on the risk Every task that needs to be completed by a certain time will have a reminder set. I'll check

have been carried out preliminary evaluations of the processes, if there is any delay, I will call the project
manager and strongly advise him to hold up his end of the bargain. I'll just take this
opportunity to encourage everyone in authority, including management, technical
personnel, and site supervisors, to keep things moving. All managers, including the project
manager and site manager, will get status updates on the state of the work every month.
