Cirrat Oil Company is a regional leader in the manufacturing of base oils for lubricants.
They are Pakistan's sole manufacturer and supplier of base oils, and they sell their goods
throughout Asia. Cirrat Oil Company manufactures white products such as drilling oil,
naphtha, and diesel, as well as by-products such as sulphur, asphalt, and marine heavy
fuel oil, in this plant where the risk assessment was performed. Their base oil products are
utilised as raw materials in both domestic and foreign production. Lubricating blenders are
used to create a wide range of final lubrication oils that are utilised in autos, heavy
commercial vehicles, and a variety of machines. Typical activities were undertaken
including moving vehicles from storage area to shipping area, welding activities for
maintenance and diesel maxing. This plant has 6 production machines including Vacuum
Distillation machine, Gas Concentration Machine, Diesel machine and Naphtha Hydro
treating machine.

You should aim to complete this section in 100 - 200 words.
Note: this section can be completed after you have competed your risk assessment.
Outline how the risk assessment was
carried out this should include:
• sources of information consulted;
• who you spoke to; and
• how you identified:

I started this risk assessment with codes of practices of International Labour Organisation
(ILO) – have a lot of data relating to oils and refinery plant.
https://www.ilo.org/dyn/normlex/en/f?p=NORMLEXPUB:12100:0::NO::P12100_INSTRUM

occupational health and safety act 1910 also was a good source of informationhttps://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=Standards&p_id=1
0106 and consulted with the health and safety Manager of the plant.
After looking to see the information then I went through the plant and take workers
interview about their health and safety related issues like ill health issues and problems,
the information they know about their health and safety was less and also lack of
knowledge about any responsibilities of themselves and Employer.
I also read their audits reports, previous inspection reports, ill health data, accident and
incident reports and also consult with the stack holders to see what types of accidents
had occurred over the last 8 months and whether any of these accidents recurring at the
same place. I also checked the reasons for sick absence and analysis work process and
lost time injuries again to see if there were any recurring themes for ill health but refuse to
find any major issue because they have in following of Pakistani labour Law on which
basically, they fulfilled their acts and have a less percentage of accidents in plant.
After accessing the control measures, I also referred to some of the HSE’s approved
codes of practices for guidance documents. For example, for chemical exposure I
recommend R177 Chemicals Recommendation, 1990, ILO Convention 1988 (C167,
Article 28) (Regarding Hazardous substance) and C170-Chemicals Convention, 1990,
Article 13)

For EACH action:
Specific legal arguments: 100 to 150 words
Likelihood AND severity: 75 to 150 words
How effective the action is likely to be in controlling the risk: 100 to 150 words
Moral, general legal and financial arguments for ALL actions
Moral, general legal and financial
arguments
Moral:
Cirrat Oil Company holds moral responsibility for the health and well-being of its employees.
All of the corporation's employees are for subsistence in order to carry the sustenance.
Employees' annual or monthly earnings are critical to their families. If occupational dangers
prohibit a worker from returning home safely and securely, or if an employee is unable to do
his or her job, the repercussions have a negative impact on the person's dependents. It may
also result in the creation of a bad corporate culture unless the organisation takes all
essential management procedures to eliminate or reduce the risk. The introduction of steps
that I have prioritized would help to greatly justify the moral case.
Cirrat Oil Company has legal requirement to protects its workers under the ILO’s safety and
Health Convention (C155)
Legal:
Possible enforcement actions that Cirrat Oil Company could receive include being served
with prohibition notices and improvement notices relating to these activities by the regulator
Cirrat Oil Company reputation could take a serious hit if goes wrong which could result in
fines from PAKISTAN government authorities. The likely amount of compensation and civil
claims can be Substantial. Company could also find that civil claim by the courts from workers
made ill or permanent disability by these work activities could be made. If any major accident
occurred, company may be fined from enforcement authority and I would point out that this
financial cost would not be recoverable from insurance company.

Financial
There are different financial reasons which force an organization to develop health and
safety culture at workplace. An organization may face following financial extensions due to
failure in promoting health and safety culture
Following an accident, he must have to bear all the medical expenses of the injured
person.
The premium insurance has to paid by the organization to the insurance companies will
also be enhanced over accident at workplace.
When an accident or unwanted event occur it also destroys property of organization. And
organisation also has to bear the losses of his assets. Huge amount will require replacing
and repairing damaged building and installing machinery.
Employer would also pay large amount of sick pay, extra wages to the workers for overtime
to overcome losses.
The employer may have to bear fines and criminal prosecution
Justification for action 1
Action
Specific legal arguments
Consideration of likelihood AND severity
Learner number: 00655258
Proper and suitable local exhaust ventilation system should install to eliminate and reduce
exposure of welding fumes. (Hazard category; Hazardous substance)
ILO C170 - Chemicals Convention, 1990 (No. 170) article 15 also required that “With a view
to preventing, reducing or eliminating risks to health in places of employment, all appropriate
and practicable measures should be taken to substitute harmless or less harmful substances,
processes or techniques for harmful substances, processes or techniques, to prevent the
liberation of harmful substances and to shield workers from harmful radiations, to carry out
hazardous processes in separate rooms or buildings occupied by a minimum number of
workers.
Pakistan factories act 1934 also requires that ’In every plant, there is given off any dust or
fume toxic gas or other impurity which are injurious and offensive to workers’’The likelihood of serious health is high because Welding fume concentrations were high in
the maintenance workshop. Welders were welding in the maintenance workshop without
using a face shield or a facemask, and there was insufficient ventilation to eliminate harmful
welding fumes. Workers in the vicinity, as well as visitors to the organisation, may be

damaged since excessive levels of welding fumes can induce respiratory irritation, which can
lead to long-term significant health problems. To avoid injuries, all present safeguards are
useless.
I set the category when suggesting the severity in following way:
• Minimal: no injury or damage happened.
• Minor: injury happened requiring the first aid treatment and/or unimportant damage
to the equipment and machinery.
• Major: injury happened requiring the hospital treatment, requiring recovery time,
and/or important damage to equipment and machinery.
• Fatal: injuring which causing disability or death, and loss of equipment, machinery or
building.
How effective the action is likely to be in
controlling the risk. This should include:
• the intended impact of the action;
• justification for the timescale that you
indicated in your risk assessment;
and
• Whether you think the action will fully
control the risk.
The rating of severity for this hazard is set as Major. If any ill-health case happens, It is very
probably that worker will require hospital treatment.
Local exhaust ventilation system will have removed the welding fumes from the work area
and workers will not inhale fumes and the exposure of welding fumes will be decreased and
likelihood of serious health issues will also be decreased and in future any ill-health case will
not happen. This will major impact on the workforce and workers will do their work with safely.
Cost associated with the implementation of the action will be less than the cost of injuries to
workers.
I have given a time scale of 1 month for this to be completed as plans will need to draw up
and the budget for this recommendation will need be agreed with Finance Manager. I would
hope that this will be the maximum amount of time will need to be complete.
This action will maximum control the risk of inhaling welding fumes as installation of Local
exhaust ventilation.

controlling the risk. This should include:
• the intended impact of the action;
• justification for the timescale that you
indicated in your risk assessment;
and
• whether you think the action will fully
control the risk.
ILO C167 - Safety and Health in Construction Convention, 1988 (No. 167) article 16 required
that At all workplaces where vehicles are to be issued, secure and adequate means of entry
and traffic must be organised and maintained in such a way as to ensure their safe operation.
Morally it is not appropriate that a worker will be hurt at work and it is employer's legal duty to
have safe workplace and secure access and escape, economically a serious accident will cost
employer a lot of penalties.
PAKISTAN Government also mandated in the PAKISTAN labour law that the contractor to
make safe attack and vehicle entry, there should be sufficient provisions for transportation of
vehicles.
The likelihood of serious personal injury is high because Vehicles were being moved from
the storage area to the shipment area, and many individuals were also utilising this path.
Many employees are in danger. The possibility of a collision between automobiles and
people was increasing. The consequences of a collision will include multiple injuries,
fractures, wounds, bruises, structural, equipment, or vehicle damage, lifelong disability, and
death, and present control mechanisms to avoid injury are ineffectual.
Please see the justification 1 for severity category. The severity rating for this hazard is set
as Major. It is probably that injury of the worker will require hospital treatment.
Provision of the Pedestrian crossing bridges at the main location will be major impact on the
organisation because this will reduce the risk of accident. The pedestrian will walk with safely.
The risk of collision between vehicles and pedestrians will be minimised because pedestrian
crossing bridges is designed solely for pedestrians. Cost associated with the implementation
of the action will be less than the cost of injuries to workers.
I've given 3 months to complete this because I'll discuss it with the HSE manager and the
finance manager before approving the budget. I'm hoping that this will take the longest period
of time to complete.
The action will maximum control the risk of collision by construction of pedestrian crossings.

Specific legal arguments
Consideration of likelihood AND severity
How effective the action is likely to be in
controlling the risk. This should include:
• the intended impact of the action;
• justification for the timescale that you

and
• Whether you think the action will fully
control the risk.
Fixed and movable guards should be installed on each machine. (Hazard category: Work
equipment and machinery)
ILO C119 International labour organization ILO, convention 1963(No. 119) states that,
during activity, hazardous parts of the machinery must be thoroughly guarded, and it must
be ensured that guards are positioned in the correct places and are suitable for the
machinery.
Similarly, ILO C155 Occupational Health and Safety convention 1981, required that, any
piece of machinery in the workplace should be protected by fixed and movable guards, as
well as the use of secure machinery methods. A computer's emergency button should also
be mounted, and the machine operator should be qualified. To ensure that the system is
running correctly, oversight and monitoring should be carried out.
The likelihood of serious injury is high because workers The risk of severe personal injury
is high in a mechanical manufacturing unit where drills, bench grinders, and heavy rolling
machines are used without any safety protection. Some machines also lacked machine
guards. The machine operator and supervisor may be injured. This can cause bodily
fractures such as muscle strain and fractured bones, as well as bruises, foot and head
injuries, and current injury prevention measures are ineffective.
Please see the justification 1 for severity category. The severity rating for this hazard is set
as major. If an injury occurs at work whilst operating on equipment. This was most likely the
injury that necessitated hospitalisation. For example, bone fractures and body part cuts.
To minimise the number of machine-related accidents, fixed and movable guards could be
placed on each machine. fixed and movable guards have a significant impact because they
reduce the risks of entanglement, slicing, and abrasion, as well as fractures and broken
bones. The workers will work safely. Cost associated with the implementation of the action
will be less than the cost of injuries to workers.
I have assigned time period for this 1 Week. Because it the very high-level severity risk due
to missing guards from machinery. So, I will meet argent to Finance and HSE management
to issue budget and arrange for this recommendation.
This action will maximum control the risk of serious injuries by installation of fixed and
adjustable guards.

Part 4: Review, communicate and check
Suggested word counts for each section:
• Planned review date or period and reasoning for this: 50 - 100 words
• How the risk assessment findings will be communicated and who needs to know the information: 100 - 150 words
• Follow up on the risk assessment: 100 - 150 words.
Planned review date/period with
reasoning
How the risk assessment findings will be
communicated AND who you need to tell
How you will follow up on the risk
assessment to check that the actions have
been carried out
Learner number: 00655258
Cirrat Oil Company's policy states that risk assessments will be evaluated every 12 months, so I
decided to review on February 9, 2023, so that continuous improvements can be implemented in
accordance with legal requirements. If there is a serious accident at work or if there are any
organisational changes, the review may be completed before the scheduled date.
I will schedule a meeting with the HSE manager and the finance director to go over and agree on
the risk assessment action plan. I will provide management with a written report that includes my
findings and recommendations, followed by a summary of my findings and actions for risk areas
(this meeting will be emailed initially with follow up if required). Following actions will be taken to
communicate findings. The results of the risk assessment will be included in the next tool box
talk, and I will also advise the workers on what actions to take. The finding of this risk assessment
will be communicated by digital media and company intranet, memos and emails and worker
handbooks to all the employees. A summary of the risk assessment and actions to be taken will
also be posted on the company intranet so all the workers have access to it.
I'll set roughly one month's worth of reminders before the action is due to be completed. I'll check
in with the responsible parties to see how each section is progressing. Whether the action should
be on target or not, and what issues and reasons should stand in the way of completing business.
If any of the actions are not completed, I will consult with the HSE Manager and the employer to
see if additional resources are available for the action and to make decisions on any substandard,
HSE practises, behaviour, and deficiencies. I also check direct observation that my
recommendation is working on standard or not if not then I also give further advice or actions to
control the specific hazards. Actions that are very overdue (late completion of project) will be
referred to employer via finance director.
