Hazard Identification Risk Assessment


1. General Information

  • Project/Activity Name: Installation of Overhead Cranes in Workshop A

  • Location: LGC Manufacturing Plant, Building 5

  • Date of Assessment: January 15, 2080

  • Assessment Team Members:

    • [Your Name], Senior Safety Officer

    • Clara Jones, Operations Manager

    • Peter Tan, Maintenance Supervisor

    • Lisa Green, Electrical Engineer

    • Tom White, Crane Operations Specialist

  • Review Date: January 22, 2080


2. Scope of Work

This assessment covers the installation of two 10-ton capacity overhead cranes in Workshop A. Tasks include unloading the crane components, assembling the cranes, lifting the components using a hoist, securing the cranes to the overhead rails, and conducting operational testing. This assessment aims to ensure the safety of all workers involved in these tasks and prevent accidents. The installation process is scheduled to last from January 20 to January 28, 2080.


3. Hazard Identification

Task/Activity

Hazard Description

Receiving crane components

Falling crane components during unloading, especially from trucks or overhead delivery.

Assembling crane parts

Risk of pinch points, cuts, and crush injuries due to mechanical parts and assembly tools.

Lifting the crane using a hoist

Equipment failure causes the load to fall, or workers to be caught between crane and structure.

Securing crane to rails

Falls from height during crane rail installation, slip and trip hazards due to wet surfaces.

Testing crane operation

Electrical shock from malfunctioning electrical components, risk of mechanical failure during load testing.

Crane operational adjustments

Incorrect calibration leads to crane malfunction, and overloading during operational trials.

5. Control Measures

Hazard

Existing Controls

Proposed Controls

Responsible Party

Falling crane components

Workers are trained on proper lifting techniques and crane unloading procedures. Safety barriers are in place during unloading.

Ensure that all crane components are secured properly with no obstructions before unloading begins. Provide spotters during unloading.

Clara Jones (Ops Manager)

Pinch and crush injuries

Workers are equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and safety boots.

Conduct regular tool checks to ensure equipment is safe. Pre-task safety briefings.

Peter Tan (Maintenance)

Dropped load

Certified hoists and load-bearing equipment are used. A pre-lift inspection is mandatory.

Regular checks for hoist functionality. Ensure cranes are loaded within their rated capacity.

Tom White (Crane Specialist)

Falls from height

Fall arrest systems and harnesses are provided for workers working above 6 feet. Railings and guardrails installed.

Increase installation of fall arrest systems on temporary scaffolding and overhead workstations.

Clara Jones (Ops Manager)

Electrical shock

All electrical equipment is grounded, and certified for use. A lock-out/tag-out system is enforced.

Increase the frequency of electrical system inspections. Install electrical fault indicators.

Lisa Green (Electrical Engineer)

Crane malfunction

Cranes undergo a 5-point safety check before use, including mechanical and electrical components.

Perform post-installation testing and adjustments. Add real-time performance monitoring systems.
