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.

4. Risk Assessment

Risk Type	Likelihood	Consequence	Risk Rating
Falling crane components	Likely	Severe (fatal injury)	Very High
Pinch and crush injuries	Likely	Moderate (fractures, bruising)	High
Dropped load	Unlikely	Severe (fatal injury)	Very High
Falls from height	Possible	Severe (fatal injury)	High
Electrical shock	Possible	Major (serious injury)	Medium
Crane malfunction	Possible	Severe (serious injury)	High

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.	Tom White (Crane Specialist)

7. Residual Risk

Hazard	Likelihood (Post-Control)	Consequence (Post-Control)	Residual Risk Rating
Falling crane components	Rare	Severe (fatal injury)	Low
Pinch and crush injuries	Unlikely	Minor (bruising or cuts)	Low
Dropped load	Rare	Severe (fatal injury)	Low
Falls from height	Unlikely	Severe (fatal injury)	Medium
Electrical shock	Rare	Moderate (serious injury)	Low
Crane malfunction	Rare	Major (serious injury)	Medium
