Hazard Identification,
Risk Assessment and
Control
Prepared by: Ma. Beatriz Angelica C. Bukid, RMT,SO3
Procedure
Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
All staff are expected to report identified
hazards in their respective workplace
Reporting to safety officer either through
incident report form or any related
documentation
Hazards and risks can also be identified during regular
safety rounds or environment care rounds.
At least once a year, hazard identification and risk
assessment using HIRAC form, shall be done by the
safety officers, department safety representatives, and
staff.
For each data required by the form, refer to the following:
Area
Process
Hazard
Type of hazard
Type of hazard
Biological hazard
Physical hazard
Chemical hazard
Ergonomic hazard
Current Risk Control – For each identified hazard,
determine whether there is an existing risk control
documented and implemented to the level of risk control
available,
Risk Assessment – For each identified Hazard, analyze
the risk based in terms of number scoring
Following are the criteria to be assessed:
a) Legal requirement
b) Severity
c) Probability of occurence
Legal Requirement
LEGAL REQUIREMENT
1 Without Legal Requirement
2 With legal requirement, with evidence of compliance
3 With legal requirement, with no evidence of compliance
4 With notice of violation issued
Severity
Severity
1 Minor Negligible
2 Serious
3 Critical
4 Catastrophic
Probability of Occurrence
Occurrence
1 Remote
Unlikely to occur (may happen sometime in 5 to 30 years)
2 Occasional
Possible to occur (may happen sometime in 2 to 5 years)
3 Probable
Probably will occur (may happen several times in 1 to 2 years)
4 Frequent
Likely to occur immediately or within a short period (may happen several
times in 1 year)
Risk Evaluation
Risk Priority Number (RPN) = obtained in multiplication of
the numerical equivalent of all Risk Assessment criteria
RPN = Legal Requirement x Severity x Probability of
Occurrence
High risk 34-64
Medium risk 16-33
Low risk 1-16
Risk Treatment
For hazard that will be identified as High Risk =/> 34,
Provide an appropriate control based on the hierarchy
of control below
eliminatio
n
substitution
Engineering
administrative
PPE
Hazards and risks that fall under high risk (RPN= 34-
64) shall be documented in the risk registry for
monitoring and reassessment after the
implementation of risk treatment or control measures
Safety officer shall provide summary of identified and
reported hazards, including mitigation plan or control
measures
Monitoring and Review
All hazards identified with low significance must be
monitored and re-evaluated annually by the
department
All hazards identified with medium significance must
be monitored and re-evaluated quarterly by the SO
and Managing head
All hazards identified and are registered in the HIRAC
must be communicated and reported to the Top
Management thru Management review
