ISO31000: 2009 Risk

Management Standard The ISO 31000 (2009) /ISO Guide 73:2002

definition of risk is the 'effect ofuncertainty on objectives'.

International Risk Governance Council IRGC focuses in particular on emerging,

systemic risks for which governance deficits

exist, and aims to provide

recommendations for how policymakers

can correct these deficits

Introduction We have seen a lot of collapsing business and financial environment.

For everyone it is having an impact in all sorts of ways.

Every one looks at the numbers side of the equation.

what about the people side?

What are the human risks in your business?

How are your people behaving in these times?

The current financial and business environment has been caused

largely by poorly managed human behavior.

Minimize risks associated with the human component of operation

Human Health Risk Assessment A human health risk assessment is the process to estimate the

nature and probability of adverse health effects in humans who

may be exposed to chemicals in contaminated environmental

media, now or in the future.

What types of health problems may be caused by environmental

stressors such as chemicals and radiation?

What is the chance that people will experience health problems

when exposed to different levels of environmental stressors?

Safety Risk Management

Safety risk management is theidentification, analysis and elimination

(and/or mitigation to an acceptable ortolerable level) of the hazards, as well asthe subsequent risks, that threaten theviability of an organisation. (ICAO Doc.

9859)


11/22

When should a risk management

approach be used? Starting a new business or purchasing a business

Changing work practices, procedures or the work

environment

Purchasing new or used equipment or using newsubstances

Planning to improve productivity or reduce costs

New information about workplace risks becomes

available

Responding to workplace incidents (even if they have

caused no injury)

Responding to concerns raised by workers, health and

saf.ety representatives or others at the workplace

STEP-1: HOW TO INDENTIFYHAZARDS

Identifying hazards in the workplace involvesfinding things and situations that could

potentially cause harm to people. Hazardsgenerally arise from the following aspects ofwork and their interaction:

Physical work environment

Equipment, materials and substances used Work tasks and how they are performed

Work design and management


14/22

STEP-1: HOW TO INDENTIFYHAZARDS

INSPECT THE WORKPLACE

CONSULT YOUR WORKERS

REVIEW AVAILABLE INFORMATION


15/22

STEP -2: HOW TO ASSESS RISKA risk assessment involves considering what couldhappen if someone is exposed to a hazard andthe likelihood of it happening.

A risk assessment can help you determine

How severe a risk is

Whether any existing control measures areeffective.

What action you should take to control the risk.

How urgently the action needs to be taken.


16/22

STEP 3HOW TO CONTROLRISKS

The most important step in managing risksinvolves eliminating them so far as is

reasonably practicable, or if that is notpossible, minimising the risks so far as isreasonably practicable.

STEP 4HOW TO REVIEWCONTROLS

The control measures that you put in place shouldbe reviewed regularly to make sure they work asplanned. Dont wait until something goes wrong.

A review is required: When the control measure is not effective in

controlling the risk. Before a change at the workplace that is likely to

give rise to a new or different health and safety riskthat the control measure may not effectivelycontrol.

If a new hazard or risk is identified

KEEPING HARD-RECORDS Keeping records of the risk management process

has the following benefits. It,

Allows you to demonstrate how decisions about

controlling risks were made.

Assists in targeting training at key hazards

Provides a basis for preparing safe work procedures

Allows you to more easily review risks following any

changes to legislation or business activities

Demonstrates to others (regulators, investors,

shareholders, customers) that work health and

safety risks are being managed

A Almost certain Is expected to occur in most circumstances

B Likely Will probably occur in most circumstances

C Possible Might occur at some time

D Unlikely Could occur at some time

E Rare May occur but only in exceptional circumstances

LIKELIHOODHow likely is it to occur?

CONSEQUENCE

What is likely to be the impact?

Level Descriptor Example Detail Description1 Insignificant No injuries

Low financial loss

2 Minor First aid treatment On-site release of chemical immediately contained

Temporary halt of event

Medium financial loss

3 Moderate Medical treatment required On-site release of chemical contained with outside assistance Temporary halt of event requiring outside assistance (e.g.

specialised maintenance, fire, police)

High financial loss

4 Major Extensive injuries Loss of production capability

Off-site release of chemical with no detrimental effects Halt of event requiring investigation and outside assistance (e.g. fire,police, ambulance)

Major financial loss

5 Catastrophic Death Toxic release off-site with detrimental effect

Halt of production with investigation and potential prosecution

(e.g. fire, police, ambulance) Catastrophic financial loss
