Background
BB audit & inspec:on process established differing approaches to Risk Management between projects including;
•
Use of ‘Generic’ type Risk Assessment•
Inconsistency in iden:fied risks•
Differing assessment processes•
Differing Risk Assessment formatsThe Balfour BeaMy Senior Management Team (SMT) decided that an effec:ve and consistent approach to Risk Assessment needed to be applied across the business.
Planning
The SMT mandated that a uniform approach to Risk Management should be applied across the business and the following should apply;
•
Use of ‘Generic’ Risk Assessments should be eliminated•
Common format to be developed and u:lised•
Risk mi:ga:on should be consistent and in accordance BB ‘Business Management System’ (BMS)•
Applica:on of ‘Best Prac:ce’•
Bank of shared knowledgeOutcome
Following mee:ngs with various
stakeholders at all levels of Balfour BeaMy,
it was decided that a ‘Database’ system
would be developed and maintained taking
cognisance of the mandates from the SMT.
Process
The following slides are taken from the Balfour
BeaMy ‘SeSng People to Work’ training package
including the risk management process u:lising
the ‘Risk Assessment Database’ process.

Process – Stage 1
Iden:fy the Hazards
•
Physical
•
Chemical
•
Biological
•
Ergonomic
•
Psychological
Ways to iden:fy hazards might be
•
Previous knowledge or experience
•
Inspec:ons/audits
•
Accident/Incident inves:ga:on reports
8
Process – Stage 2
Decide who might be harmed and how
• You • Other trades • Night Staff • Security • Cleaners • Maintenance • Office • Visitors • Vulnerable groups • General public
9
Process – Stage 3
Evaluate the risks and decide on precau:ons Likelihood
• Where is the hazard?
• How many people are affected?
• How knowledgeable are they?
• How many :mes does the hazard occur?
• What is the extent of possible exposure?
Severity
• Manufacturers data
• HSE guidance
• Accident sta:s:cs
10
Process – Stage 3
Evaluate the risks and decide on
precau:ons
Risk = Likelihood x Severity
Likelihood of Harm ranging from 1
to 5
The severity of Harm ranging from
1 to 5
This is known as a semi-‐
quan:ta:ve technique 1 2 3 4 5 Likelihood Severity 5 10 15 20 25 5 4 8 12 16 20 4 3 6 9 12 15 3 2 4 6 8 10 2 1 2 3 4 5 1
11
Process – Stage 4
Record your findings and implement them.
Records should:
•
Iden:fy significant findings such as the hazards and the risks they
present
•
Iden:fy exis:ng controls and the need for further controls as
necessary
•
Iden:fy the individuals affected which could include persons not
directly under control of the employer
12
Process – Stage 5
Review your assessment and update if necessary Assessments should be reviewed if:
• There is a reason to suspect that it is no longer valid
• There has been significant change
• A reasonable period of :me has passed
• A change has been noted through the TBS
A significant change might be:
• The workplace layout
• New process or plant
• Competence of the people carrying out the task
• New legal requirements
• New informa:on about the hazard

The Risk Assessment Database
Find – Allows you to call upprevious risk assessments
Copy -‐ You can input informa?on
from a previous risk assessment you wish to call up in order to copy the informa?on over into a new folder
Add -‐ You can click add and go
straight to a new blank template in order to add a new risk assessment
14
The Risk Assessment Database
• The top two boxes will allow you to create a new Risk Assessment. In the first box on the leK hand side you can select “Get Project” and be taken straight into the Ac?ve Site Register. From here you can select your job. • In the top right box you reference the ac?vity as per the WPP so that you can ?e the WPP and this Risk
Assessment together.
• The boTom box (only visible on previously created Risk Assessments) will show the current status of this Risk Assessment and the people who have been involved in the Risk Assessment (this is an automa?c log based on the users machine on which the review has been done ).
15
The Risk Assessment Database
• This Screen iden?fies common hazard categories. New Risk Assessments will al start with ‘No’
• Selec?ng an applicable hazard category will change the used column to ‘yes’ .
• Each ?me you select a new hazard you will be taken to a new screen to complete the risks and controls associated with that hazard.
16
The Risk Assessment Database
• Once you have selected a Hazard Type you will be taken through to the next screens. • Here you see a Hazard of “Work Equipment” was previously selected.
• Under Work Equipment you know have other op?ons of types of Work Equipment you can select. • As previous any you select will have the “No” on the right hand side change to “Yes”.
