I am doing a kind of research about Health and safety in relation to the construction industry. I have identified the application of OHS risk assessment. and I need to know about the types of OHS RISK assessments. if anyone know the answer kindly explain me.
Thanks in advance
two type of risk the assessment and the Methology. Risk assessment is the broadly, the process of identifying and analizing potential future events that may negatively impact a risk might have on your business. A risk assessment can also help you decide how much of each type of risk your organization is ableto tolerate.
assessment methologies, quantitative and qualitative. its focus on the numbers to perform a quantitative risk assessment a team uses measurable data points to assess risk and quantify it.
Every business differs
risk assessments are tailored to the type of business you are in
Manufacturing : risk are moving equipment , rotatable equipment , fire , spillages etc
Office workers: Staples , paper cuts , electronics like computers
Labs : Chemicals gasses etc
Construction: Working at heights , Earth moving equipment , Electric tools etc
So dependent on you line of business there would need to be an assessment to establish the risk then generate the procedure , SWP safe working practices , SOP safe operating Procedures
If you wanted to consider it individually, it gonna be massive.1. Concreting2. Briklaying3. Plasterer4. Earth work5. Earth moving machinery6. Cranage work7. Lifting and rigging (Specific task)8. Excavation9. Working at height (Specific task). Painting. Handling Chemicals . Operating High Speed Cutter. Hot Work. And many more.....just to name a few.
The term Risk Assessment is a very wide term for construction sector since hazards are always present for everyone but not all can point out the minute of hazards or risks associated with the simplest of jobs. Slips, Trips, Falls, Electrocution, Improper Scaffolds, Improper Maintenance of Heavy Vehicles, Unskilled Labour, Insufficient Training to workforce, Improper communication of On Site Emergency Preparedness Plan to grass root employee as well, Confined Space Entry, Hot Work etc. are the fields always demanding Risk Assessments. Best of Luck!
