16. RISK ASSESSMENTS
Hazard - Is any source of potential damage, harm or adverse health effects on something or
someone under certain conditions at work. Basically, a hazard can cause harm or adverse effects
(to individuals as health effects or to organizations as property or equipment losses).
Risk - is the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or experience an adverse health
effect if exposed to a hazard. It may also apply to situations with property or equipment loss.
Risk Assessment Is the process where you:

Identify hazards,
Analyze or evaluate the risk associated with that hazard, and
Determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control the hazard.
In practical terms, a risk assessment is a thorough look at your workplace to identify those things,
situations, processes, etc that may cause harm, particularly to people. After identification is made,
you evaluate how likely and severe the risk is, and then decides what control measures should be in
place to effectively prevent or control the harm from happening.
Importance of Risk Assessment
Risk assessments are very important as they form an integral part of a good occupational health
and safety management plan. They help to:
Create awareness of hazards and risks.
Identify who may be at risk (employees, cleaners, visitors, contractors, the public, etc.).
Determine if existing control measures are adequate or if more should be done.
Prevent injuries or illnesses when done at the design or planning stage.
Prioritize hazards and control measures
16.1 Control of Risk
ALB shall ensure that the Principle of Prevention Protection Information monitoring review shall be undertaken.
40 | P a g e

If possible, avoid the risk completely, by using alternative methods or materials.
Combat risks at source, rather than by measures which leave the risk in place but attempt to
prevent contact with the risk.
Wherever possible, adapt work to the individual particularly in the choice of work equipment
and methods of work. This will make work less monotonous and improve concentration, and
reduce the temptation to improvise equipment and methods.
Take advantage of technological progress, which often offers opportunities for safer and more
efficient working methods.
Incorporate the prevention measures into a coherent plan to reduce progressively those risks
which cannot be avoided and which take into account working conditions, organizational factors,
the working environment and social factors.
Give priority to those measures which protect the whole workforce or activity and yield the
greatest benefit, e.g. give collective protective measures, such as suitable working platforms
with edge protection, priority over individual measures such as safety harnesses.
Supervision and the workforce need to understand what they need to do, e.g. by training,
instruction and communication of plans and risk assessments.
Monitor the control measures on a regular basis to determine the effectiveness of the Risk
Assessment.
Review and Revision of the risk assessment to be carried out if there are developments that
suggest it may no longer be valid (or that it can be improved). In most cases, it is prudent to plan
to review risk assessments at regular intervals - the time between reviews being dependant on the
nature of the risks and the degree of change likely in the work activity. Such reviews should form
part of the standard HSE Management Practice.

17. JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS
All Method Statements shall have Job Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment
Work shall not be conducted without a job hazard analysis (JHA) or pre-job risk assessment
discussion appropriate for the level of risk in accordance with the risk assessment and Work
execution procedure
For hazardous activities job hazard analysis (JHA) shall be performed and attached with their work
execution procedure
Supervisors can use the findings of a job hazard analysis to eliminate and prevent hazards in their
workplaces. This is likely to result in fewer worker injuries and illnesses; safer, more effective work
methods; reduced workers compensation costs; and increased worker productivity
The analysis also can be a valuable tool for training new employees in the steps required to perform
their jobs safely
For a job hazard analysis to be effective, management must demonstrate its commitment to safety
and health and follow through to correct any uncontrolled hazards identified. Otherwise,
management will lose credibility and employees may hesitate to go to management when dangerous
conditions threaten them.
42 | P a g e

A job hazard analysis can be conducted on many jobs in your workplace. Priority should go to the following
types of jobs:
Jobs with the highest injury or illness rates;
Jobs with the potential to cause severe or disabling injuries or illness, even if there is no history of
previous accidents;
Jobs in which one simple human error could lead to a severe accident or injury;
Jobs that are new to your operation or have undergone changes in processes and procedures; and
Jobs complex enough to require written instructions.
For any other jobs, Engineer/Foremen shall perform a JHA with their crew to identify the potential hazards
that the group may encounter, and eliminate the hazards or implement the necessary controls.
Engineer/Foremen shall review active JHA and inform their employees of any changes. Foremen are
responsible for ensuring all workers are familiar with applicable JHA prior to commencing work.
Before starting work each day construction team shall:
Assemble the work team (ensure all people participating in the task are involved in this process).
Ensure all persons are trained and competent in the work they conduct.
Define the task or scope of work.
Clearly define individual sequential step to be done.
Clearly define individual sequential step to be done.

List the workers and equipment to be used in the job
Identify and list potential job hazards and employees exposure for each step of work.
Define the prevention measures to be implemented.
Job safety analysis for each work will be submitted along with respective Method Statement
The Safety Plan shall detail the arrangements for undertaking job hazard analysis
18. CONFINED SPACE ENTRY

In some cases, works are carried out in places that are not really suitable: work spaces that are small,
difficult to reach and/or poorly ventilated. These kinds of places are called confined spaces and need extra
attention to assess the risks involved when working there.
A workplace is called a confined space if all of the following characteristics are fulfilled:
43 | P a g e

Not intended or designed primarily as a place of work
Has restricted means of entry and exit
Can Contain harmful gasses or low oxygen levels or can be engulfed.
Holds Atmospheric pressure
For any other circumstances this procedures does not apply.

When working in a confined space, the worker is confronted with a number of risks, such as fire and
explosion, asphyxiation, poisoning and electrocution. Only when a number of measures have been taken,
including a work permit, adequate supervision, a limited stay and good ventilation, etc. work in a confined
space can be allowed.
The most frequent injuries when entering into confined spaces are head injuries. The principle hazard
however is suffocation (asphyxia).
Confined spaces include but are not limited to:
1. Deep Trenches and excavations
2. Sewers and drains
3. Tanks
4. Ballast and bunker tanks in ships
5. Vaults
6. Wells and shafts
7. Boilers
8. Crawl spaces
9. Ducts
10. Compartments, double bottom, bilges, passageways on ships
11. Pits, tubs, and bins
12. Pipeline

Risks
The main risks that must be taken into account when working in confined spaces are:
Asphyxiation and poisoning;
Fire and explosion;
Electrocution;
Evacuation problems;
Falling objects;
Slipping, stumbling, falling;
Excessive noise;
Heat.
Asphyxiation and poisoning

The normal level of oxygen in the air is 21%. An oxygen level below 17% is lethal. Fatal accidents in
confined spaces are often caused by lack of oxygen, and in many cases, persons that try to rescue their
follow workers die as well.
Possible causes for lack of oxygen:
Oxygen is consumed or driven out in one way or another.
In airtight spaces (e.g. in air rooms or ballast tanks on-board ships), oxygen can be depleted as a
result of rusting (oxidation).
Fire, e.g. related to welding activities, can exhaust the oxygen.
Welding operations can produce toxic gases: due to the high temperature of the welding flame, NOx
is produced from nitrogen and oxygen in the air.
When working with gases that are heavier than air (CO2, CO2-extinguishers, dry ice, etc.), these
gases can build up at the bottom of the tank and drive out the oxygen
Acute (sudden) poisoning is often fatal. Chronic poisoning, however, can also have serious
consequences.
Electrocution
Due to the often very humid atmosphere in confined spaces, the use of electricity increases the risk
of electrocution considerably.
Excessive noise
46 | P a g e

When using (power) tools to carry out activities, the risk of excessive noise levels can be high. Examples:
Pneumatic tools; Metal hitting metal;
Resonance factor of confined spaces.
Fire and explosion
Due to possible residue of the original substances of tanks, welding or burning can cause fire and explosions
in confined spaces. Prior to start work in a confined space, all hazardous material and residue has to be
removed and cleaned.
18.3.
Precaution
Training and information of personnel
All personnel involved shall be competent and trained as required by AL BALAGH, the
contract or the legal requirements: person doing the assessment, person doing the gas
monitoring, person on watch and persons entering the confined space.
Prior to the confined space entry, all personnel involved shall be briefed by means of a toolbox
meeting or a Job Hazard Analysis.
Work permit procedures shall be established and agreed upon;
Communication and rescue procedures Example of communication: lifeline, whistle signals,

shall be established and agreed upon;
When activities are carried out by third parties, information is given about the work situation
and procedures;
Give the necessary instructions (and training) for the use of personal protective equipment
(PPE).
Carrying out the necessary monitoring
Before entering a confined space, a number of measurements must be carried out. The necessary
instruments are available or can be requested. All main vessels have a handheld measuring
instrument on-board. The best way to proceed is lowering the handheld instrument in the
confined space (through the manhole at the top).
According to the risk, the following parameters are measured:

-
Oxygen: 21% is the normal oxygen level in the atmosphere.

47 | P a g e

Presence of toxic gases: below the acceptable maximum levels
Explosive/flammable gases: less than 10% of the lower explosion limit
Only use calibrated measuring equipment.
The person doing the measurement shall be competent as per AL BALAGH, project and/or
legal requirements.
In case there is insufficient CONTINUOUS supply of oxygen (see monitoring above) or if

gases are emitted during the activities in the confined space, sufficient mechanical ventilation
must be provided in the confined space before accessing the space as well as during the
activities.
Monitoring must clearly show that the air has been refreshed and that there is sufficient oxygen
present. This mechanical ventilation must be continuous for the whole duration of the presence
in the confined space (minimum 1.4 m/min per person). Only clean air can be used as a
purging gas, pure oxygen shall not be used.
If the gases or vapours that are present or emitted cannot be efficiently extracted from the
confined space, it is necessary that the workers wear suitable autonomous respiratory
protection (compressed air supply).
Supervision and communication
1 person must be in charge of supervision and alarm. This person must never enter the confined
space (= safety watch). In an emergency, he must be able to take suitable action immediately.
He checks the correct working of possible ventilation and monitoring devices and warns when
the space must be evacuated.
Workers and safety watch shall agree on the emergency signals.
Means of communication (e.g. walkie-talkie) shall be available. The watchman must regularly
check whether the person(s) in the confined space is (are) still conscious.
The required emergency response equipment (SCBA, first aid kit, life line, fire extinguisher,
etc.) as identified during the JHA or Risk Assessment, must be available.
Clearance of hazardous substances and residue\
Hazardous and flammable substances and residues have to be cleared from the confined space.
Tanks that contained these products have to be cleaned properly before hot work is allowed.
Oxygen and acetylene cylinders have to be kept outside the confined space.
48 | P a g e

Electricity
- Special care must be given to the choice and good condition of the electricity installation,
wiring, mobile lighting fixtures, power tools such as drills, grinders, etc

inspect all ladders before use
Site made wooden ladders are prohibited
Ladder must be free of paint
Site rails not split or broken
All rungs tightly in place
34. HOUSEKEEPING
Effective housekeeping can eliminate some workplace hazards and help get a job done safely and
properly. Poor housekeeping can frequently contribute to accidents by hiding hazards that cause
injuries. If the sight of paper, debris, clutter and spills is accepted as normal, then other more
serious health and safety hazards may be taken for granted
Hazards
80 | P a g e

- Slip, Trip and fall

- Chemical
- Electrical
- Fire
Control Measures
- During the course of construction, alteration, or repairs, form and scrap lumber with protruding
nails, and all other debris, shall be kept cleared from work areas, passageways, and stairs, in and

35. INTERNAL SAFETY AUDIT
Auditing projects is mandatory as per Al Balagh Policy.
Each project will be audited separately.
The Scope of the audit for each project is identified with respect to the progress of work
A meeting to identify scope shall precede
A systematic review of the procedures and control measures
A report of findings shall be issued with time frame for closures
After closing the report, a review shall occur to verify actions taken and highlights the areas for
improvements
81 | P a g e

Internal auditing is an internal independent, objective assurance and consulting activity

designed to add value and improve Al Balagh operations. It helps Al Balagh to accomplish its
objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of
risk management, control, and governance processes
The purpose of the internal audit is to perform monitoring and measurement within the organization.
Internal audits, sometimes called first-party, are conducted by, or on behalf of, the organization itself
for internal purposes and can form the basis for an organization's self- declaration of conformity. The
organization is required to conduct the audits within scheduled time frames to ensure that the
quality management system is maintained according to:
OSHAS 18001 Standard requirements
The organization's requirements and audit's criteria
Al Balagh will appoint on its behalf an internal auditor to monitor and addressed to top management
certain issues and will give recommendation as per the required standard. The auditor will use the
below form and fill up the following categories and results will be informed and distributed to all key
personnel within the project
35.1. INSPECTIONS
- Formal inspections at reasonably regular intervals should augment the site manager's day-to-day
checks, inspections and examinations which occur as part of any job task. These should involve
safety representatives using a properly designed safety checklist for a systematic inspection of
the workplace
- An example of such a checklist can be found in Appendix
- The advantages of regular safety inspections are that they ensure that good housekeeping is
maintained within the workplace and that awareness is developed, amongst employees at all
levels, of the need to promote and maintain safety standards. The disadvantage or danger of
regular inspections is that they may become a rather mechanical routine for all concerned, and
that their impact might be lessened
- Random inspections, however, carried out without any prior notice to the workforce, on
different days of the week, at irregular intervals and at different times of the day, avoid the
shortcomings of a predictable inspection and help to encourage a continuous interest in safety
by all personnel
82 | P a g e

- In practice, a combination of the two approaches of both regular and random inspections is
probably the best course of act

- AL Balagh HSE team will arrange a joint inspection with consultant, Project Managers,
Engineers; Supervisors include all safety related checklists.
36. HSE MEETING AND COMMUNICATION

HSE meetings shall be held to maintain close communication among all the sections. These
meetings shall be scheduled on daily, weekly and monthly basis within AL-BALAGH team and with

buildings and consist of a work platform, guardrails and a suspension system.
The most significant hazard associated with swing stages is workers falling from height. Some of the
reasons why a fall may occur include:
- The swing stage over-turning because the counterweight does not have the adequate weight
or if the fulcrum or point of support at the edge of the building fails; or
- The swing stage collapsing because it is overloaded, the platforms are inadequately attached
(in case of modular type stages), or there is damage from exposure to chemicals or corrosive
material to the motors, platforms or wire ropes to which the stage is suspended, in addition to
poor maintenance.

First-aiders
c. Planning and Preparation
Gotcha Rescue kit will be used for rescue from work at height or the tower crane
operator in case of medical assistance
The team must assure that each tower crane on site has been visited and a secure
anchor point is available. Moreover, the team must assure the feasibility of
rescuing from each tower crane by proper assessment of the rescuing route. The
assessment must be conducted after any change in the configuration of the
crane or the building
d. Procedure: Upon an operator has an incident that requires rescuing him from the cabin,
the lifting supervisor must head up immediately to the cabin. At the same time, he should
inform the site nurse along with the site safety manager or his deputy. The latter must call
for the area safety officer. The supervisor must carry the kit with him. The supervisor,
who is trained as first aider, must provide basic support for the operator, and proceed
immediately for installation of the kit. The nurse while attending the operator, the
supervisor must have completed the anchoring of the operator and start with the aid of the
132 | P a g e

nurse to descend him. At the receiving point, the team must assure safe receiving of the
operator. At then, the operator must be handled by Al Balagh
e. Rescue from work at height with high anchor
Access casualtys anchorage point
Attach the anchor sling to a suitable anchor point above the casualty.
The rescuers weight is used to assist in the operation.
The double pulley is clipped to the anchor sling.
Adjust pole to the required length.
Attach the red clip to the end of the pole, and clip the single pulley into
the webbing.
Adjust ropes in-between the pulleys to the same length as the pole.
Set the red clip to open.
Using the pole, attach the red clip to the casualtys harness attachment.
Remove the pole from the red clip.
Attach the GRIGRI to the rescuers harness.
Pull the slack rope through the GRIGRI to tension the system
The rescuer now sits down, thus raising the casualty.
With one hand, the rescuer holds the rope above the GRIGRI, close to
the attachment sling. With the other hand they take in the slack rope as they
stand up
Once the casualtys weight has been transferred to the GOTCHA, then
their lanyard can be disconnected
The casualty can now be raised to a point of safety, or lowered as
follows
To lower the casualty the rescuer must take hold of the rope that exits the
GRIGRI, and this is used to control the descent
With the other hand releases the black handle on the GRIGRI until the
rope can be fed at a controllable speed. This thus lowers the casualty
f. Rescue from work at height at low anchor
