that we have always done, that is no longer an acceptable risk?”
Hazard Recognition and Risk 2
Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis Learning Objectives After completing this training you will be able to: Discuss personal risk tolerance, what influences our decisions and how to assess what is acceptable risk Identify safety and health hazard types associated with a given job task Apply risk reduction methods and equip you with a tool to analyze risk assessment to keep you safer Hazard Recognition and Risk 3 Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis Definitions Hazard Recognition – Recognizing a condition or behavior that can cause harm Risk Analysis – Analyzing the probability and severity of risk in order to reduce the chance that harm will occur

What are some examples of occupational injuries and illnesses that you have seen? What were the impacts of those injuries On the employee? To his/her family? To his/her co-workers? To the business? Hazard Recognition and Risk 6 Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis Personal Risk Tolerance
How do we decide what is
risky? Let’s look at examples of activities and rate the risk level of each activity. Hazard Recognition and Risk 7 Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis What’s Your Personal Risk Tolerance? What is your personal risk perception of Low High the following activities? 1 2 3 4 5 1. Bungee jumping 2. Sunbathing 3. Traveling by plane 4. Mountain biking 5. Traveling overseas 6. Driving without a seat belt 7. Smoking 8. Skiing 9. Skateboarding 10. Driving at 10 miles per hour over the speed limit 11. Disagreeing with your spouse (or significant other)

Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis Our Actions Are Driven By Organizational Beliefs Safety Systems Are systems in place to encourage people to do the job with minimal risk? Leadership Behaviors Are at-risk, time-saving actions accepted? Peer Behaviors Do our co-workers encourage at risk behavior? Hazard Recognition and Risk 11 Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis Organizational Factors What is in the safety system that would allow this?

Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis The Social Environment and Cultural Resistance to Change I feel comfortable doing this and have done it this way a thousand times before
PPE is uncomfortable
“ Safety slows a job down ”
Hazard Recognition and Risk 13 Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis Risk Perception We perceive risk differently Many factors influence our decision By understanding our risk tolerance and personal / organizational factors, we can prevent injuries

Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis Objective Reasoning vs. Personal Opinion
Use the risk assessment matrix instead
of relying on one person’s assessment of what is “risky”
Hazard Recognition and Risk 15
Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis Accessing Acceptable Risk Probability Unlikely – not likely to occur Likely – may occur Very likely –near certain to occur Severity Marginal – Minor Injury or First Aid Critical – Injury or Lost Time Injury Catastrophic – Death or Permanent Disability Hazard Recognition and Risk 16 Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis Using the Risk Analysis tool to determine risk PROBABILITY Unlikely Likely Very Likely
Marginal 1 1 2
Critical 1 2 3
Catastrophic 2 3 3
The intersection of PROBABILITY
SEVERITY and SEVERITY in the chart above equals the Risk Code.

Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis Identifying Hazards Identify hazards Types of Hazards before starting a Unsafe conditions task: Unsafe acts What is involved (behaviors) in this task that can hurt me or my co-workers? How can I/we keep from being hurt while performing this task? Hazard Recognition and Risk 19 Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis Assessing the Risks Surroundings Work, equipment and tools Likelihood and extent of harm – what is the risk code?
Hazard Recognition and Risk 20
Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis Developing a Safe Solution or Plan Can I eliminate the hazard? Can I minimize the risks? Do I need help? Is there a better time to do the work? Do others need to be informed? What specific PPE and tools are required? What lock out or permit is needed? Is there a JSA or reliable method/procedure I need to review? Hazard Recognition and Risk 21 Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis What is the Safe Solution? Decide if someone could be immediately injured. If it is an emergency (Risk Code greater than 1) Talk to your supervisor and reach agreement on how to get the issue fixed as quickly as possible. If it is NOT an emergency ….
Hazard Recognition and Risk 22
Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis Not Sure of a Safe Process to Use?
If the risk is beyond “Marginal” in
severity and “Likely” or “Unlikely” to occur I need to contact my supervisor and/or the safety department Share my concerns – discuss at post- outage meetings, team meetings, etc. Act safely, Follow your solution/plan
Hazard Recognition and Risk 23
Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis Let’s Try the Process!
View the picture and then…
Identify the hazards Assess the risks Develop a safe solution or plan

Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis Risk Assessment … What hazards did you identify? What risk assessment code did you identify for those hazards? What safe solutions or plans did you come up with?
Hazard Recognition and Risk 26
Analysis Hazard Recognition and Risk Analysis Review: Before and After Prior to performing a task yourself Recognize - What is involved in this job that can hurt me or my co-workers? Reduce - How can I/we keep from being hurt while doing this job? After performing a task ask each other What was your assessment of the situation? What risks you identified? What were the identified controls? What can be shared with others? Share learnings at post outage meetings, team meetings, etc.
