The document should be sized so that when printed it will fit onto one page. (25 Marks) Safety and Welfare at Work The Safety, Health and Welfare Act, 2005 reinforces the measures taken to ensure that safety in the workplace is paramount. The act emphasises the need for employers (including the self employed) to manage safety and health in order to prevent workplace injuries and ill health. The basis for the management of safety and health is the written safety statement. This document sets out an action programme, and should be prepared with the cooperation of the workforce. The Safety Statement must comprise: 1. A list of control measures to be taken to avoid the risks 2. The names of those responsible for implementing the measures 3. Plans to deal with an emergency A key part of the process is developing the “Risk Assessment”. Having identified the hazards, the likelihood of harm occurring due to that hazard, and the severity of the consequences if it does occur, are assessed. Together they are considered in order to quantify the level of risk. A simple table can be created to assist with the assessment: e.g. Lifting operations Risk Hazard Severity Likelihood Priority A Failure of lifting gear 5 2 Medium B Moving parts on winches 6 3 High C 3rd Party entering lift area 3 2 Medium D Load falling 6 3 High Hazard severity: 1-Minor injury, 2-Chronic illness, 3-Accident requiring first aid, 4-Reportable injury, 5-Major injury, 6-Death. Hazard likelihood: 1-Remote, 2-Unlikely, 3-Possible, 4-Likely, 5- Probable, 6- Highly probable. Risk = Severity x Likelihood 1-5 Low priority, 6-16 Medium priority, 17-36 High priority. Appropriate control measures can then be put in place to combat the level of risk, based on a clear understanding of the priority. 5 Question 4. Reproduce the following PowerPoint presentation.
