You should aim to complete this section in 100 - 200 words.
Note: this section can be completed after you have completed your risk assessment.
First of all, I focused to study different guidebooks which may support in risk evaluation of a
particular construction business. ILO , OSHA and HSE have a lot of resources associated with
construction safety, After carefully studying I found that OSHA codes and strategies about
working at height and usage of scaffolding safely at the construction site, and I gathered a lot of
useful material from the given websites about health and safety measurements and hazards and
concerns that can be created from them.
https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1926/1926.450
and
https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1926/1926.451
Outline how the risk assessment was
carried out this should include:
 sources of information consulted;
 who you spoke to; and
 how you identified:
- the hazards;
- what is already being done; and
- Any additional controls/actions
that may be required.
it was very useful while performing risk assessment
After gathering appropriate supportive information for risk assessment I visited the construction
place where construction projects were accomplished with the involvement of different activities. I
have communicated with the workers who were performing their tasks in construction areas
during the site visits. This method helped me to identify the hazard which was present in the
working zone and adopt control measures against those identified hazards. Discussion with the
workers gave me a detailed concept about risks and hazards which was not obvious with visual
assessment. For example, a lot of workers don’t know the usage of Barricade tapes and their
usage in the construction industry.
I also reviewed documentation interrelated with accidents and incidents that had occurred over
the last 2 years whether any accidents were recurring or any incident was leading to accidents. I
also inspected the reason behind the absence of workers due to illness.
After communicating with the workers , observation of the site, accident, incident record
assessment and source of information which I had reviewed prior to the study of particular areas
helped me to assess necessary actions that were needed to be done

Moral
It is moral duty of Banu Mukhtar Contracting to provide safely environment for their workers. The
basic focus of Banu Mukhtar is safety of their worker. All workers should have a safe environment

returning of their employees cause ill health may a major impact on employees live and their
families .An illness may affect workers health mentally physically . An illness doesn’t affect only the
victims but it also mentally affect other his colleagues.
Its legally obligated for Banu Mukhtar to Fulfill ILO Legal requirement to protect their worker
under the ILOs safety and Health Convention (C-155)
Legal
Its employer responsibilities to follow all national and international applicable legal frame work.
Adopting legal framework for both (employees and Employer) is compulsory .Clients and National
Legal enforcement agencies main focus on legal framework. If any parties fail to adopt the legal
requirements then they may face penalties or to stop organization from further work. Risk should be
reduced so that’s employee can work in a safe manner. Legal procedure in any case of death
organization owner may have sentenced to death and revoking of organization license .ILO
convention C-155 and it recommendation (R 165) article implies on all organization to provide a
safe working environment. All machinery should be suitable for suitable tasks. Minimize all risk by
Job risk assessment. Environment for all working activities should be in safe manner

Financial
Financial impact of work place injury can be described in the four ways.
1. The first thing in financial impact is that an injured person cannot work in same capacity as
he was performing the job during his fitness time period. Work can leave couple of days
according to physical injury situation .It will loss the production rate and loss of income.
2. A minor injury can be treatable with first aid kit but a severe injury may lead to
hospitalization, loss of mobility ,or any other disabilities .Employer is legally bound to pay all
medical cost
3. Financial compensation for injured person like medical bills ,lost income and other
associated loss
4. Additional Expenses in form of indirect cost due to last time injury or due to absence of the
workers ,if this take a long time then to trained other persons .Fines due to violation of
Health and Safety Rules
Direct cost is insured but indirect cost is uninsured that cannot be clearly defined.
Justification for action 1
Action
Purchasing and fixing dust collector system to remain safe from excessive inhalation of dust
particles which may have chronic effect on the workers.(Hazard Category. Hazardous substance
Dust)
Specific legal arguments
OSHA standard (1926.57 C - Ventilation) narrated Design and operations for exhaust fans ,jets
,ducts ,hood and Separators .A dust Collector should be designed to maintain health safety
program active for the workers who are working in dusty areas .By installation of Dust collector
sufficient purified air will be available for the workers who are exposures to the dust. Dust collector
is used for safe disposal of dust and purifies the atmosphere area of working place. Its legal
responsibilities of employer to provide safe working environment
Consideration of likelihood AND severity
The likelihood of illness in working place is high because workers are working in the exposure of
dust particles .Workers are at risks without proper safety measurement The likelihood of risks
range from acute to high risks .The severity of this risk is totally dependent upon inhalation in dusty
polluted . It may be short term risk like skin irritation and visual disruption. It may be long term risk
like Asthma, lung cancer etc.
From prescription of risk the severity may be described in four stages due to dust as following :
When measuring the severity risk are categorized in 4 different phase

Minimal : Any incident without any injury or damage
Minor : A limited injury which could be recoverable by First Aid treatment
Major : Hospitalization is mandatory or absence from the work due to illness
Fatal :Serious injury which result in death or collapse of Structure or complete damaged
of machinery
Recognition of severity is set on major phase.it probably required hospitalization treatment
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.
Installation of dust separator and provision of suitable ventilation will impact the worker capability to
perform their job task in given time as by this time workers are completely exposure with the dust
and risk associated with it.
I have given 1 month timeframe to complete the installation of Dust collector. I have given this time
frame cause procurement of dust collector equipment and installation of Dust collector will take 1
month approximately. Dust collector will control the risk effectively to collect the all kind of dust
which will be effective to remain safe working environment.
I hoped that Banu Mukhtar will follow thus recommendation for the prosperity of their firm and
safety of their employees
Justification for action 2
Action
Safe working platform for working at height and third party inspection certificate by scaffolding
inspector ( Hazard Category work at Height)
Specific legal arguments
The international labour organization have a clear recommendation upon occupational safety and
health (R164) part of C-155.Part IV clearly mentioned that undertaking organization must

Provide and maintain workplace ,machinery and equipment ,which should be safe and
practicable for the assigned task
Meanwhile Banu Mukhtar also adopted country legislation where ILO recommendation are part of
national law enforcement agencies .At the moment Banu Mukhtar is following ILO recommendation
and country legislation.

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
indicated in your risk assessment;
and
 whether you think the action will fully
control the risk.
The likelihood of injuries due to working at height is too high .Scaffolding erection is done step by
step so workers went up on for erection of scaffolding next step without following any safety rules
.The severity of the risk occurring can be in serious condition.
When measuring the severity risk are categorized in 4 different phase
5. Minimal : Any incident without No injury or damage
6. Minor : A partial injury which could be recoverable on the site or partial imbalance
7. Major : Any injury where hospitalization required or absence from the work due to illness
8. Fatal
:Death or collapse of Structure or complete damaged of machinery
I have set realisation of severity on major phase. It may require hospitalization for recovering from
illness.
Third party certified scaffolding inspector will be well trained to erect scaffolding in safe manner and
inspection of temporary platform during working on Height .Its obligatory to check the PPE’’s like
safety harness belt or safety net that can reduce the falling risks from height .Suitable Platform will
decrease the risk to minimal amount and provide mentally satisfaction to the workers while working
on height.
I have given 1 month time frame to complete this job. This time frame is enough for Human
resources department to advertise and hire a competent person for scaffolding erection and
inspection.
The risk will be as low as reasonably practicable by recruiting a new incumbents cause his job
assignment will be supervision and erecting of scaffoldings
Justification for action 3
Action
Fire fight equipment like fire extinguisher ,sand bucket and fire hydrant system installation required
and it should be accessible for any emergency and applying hot work permit system ( Hazard
Category -Fire)
Specific legal arguments
OSHA standard for Construction (29 CFR 1926) narrates fire protection and fire managing
regulation in the construction industry. Suitable fire control equipment shall be available in the
working zone and it should be maintained for immediate use. Country Fire department adopted
OSHA slandered as part of its legislation .Banu Mukhtar has legal responsibility to fulfil the
requirement of country fire department as well as OSHA slandered to continue their working
Learner number: 00656815
Learner name: Abdul Jabbar
Page 15 of 17
Consideration of likelihood AND severity
During hot work if there is no fire fighting equipment available, it is more likely that spark of electric
cables or grinding can cause a explosive fire in working zone. The risk of fire always associated
with fire triangle. There is presence of fire triangle in all development projects. So there is suitable
precautions are mandatory by considering the severity factor
When measuring the severity risk are categorized in 4 different phase
1.
Minimal : Any occurrence without any injury or damage
2.
Minor
: A limited injury which could be recoverable by First Aid treatment
3.
Major
: Hospitalization is mandatory or absence from the work due to illness
4.
Fatal
of machinery
:Serious injury which result in death or collapse of Structure or complete damaged
I have set risk severity on major category which required hospitalization treatment for recovery from
illness
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.
Fixing of Fire protecting equipment’s like (fire extinguisher, sand bucket and fire hydrant) must be
place at accessible point in working area that can highly reduce the likelihood of ignition of fire by
means of thoroughly inspection. Grinder cutter sparks cause of fire explosion due to poor
housekeeping in working zone. Availability of fire fighting equipment’s can minimize the
consequences or severity of fire in case of fire accident.
I have given 20 Days timescale for fixing of Fire Protection Equipment. I will discuss Project
Director and procurement department to purchase and install the Fire protecting equipment
.Procurement committee meeting discussions and implementation will take 20 days for this purpose
This action will maximum reduce the risk of fire after installing of the compulsory fire protecting
equipment

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
It is company policy to review all risks every year .Therefore I set risk assessment review data not
later than 6 Feburary 2023. However risk assessments have no legal time scale when you can
review your risk assessment. It is totally dependent upon organization demand and hence it can be
reviewed on following bases:
1. Risk assessment review required If there is any new working Procedure adopted by the
organization
2. Risk assessment review needed If there is any new legal procedure implemented by the
national enforcement agencies
3. Risk assessment is compulsory if there is any catastrophic event occurred organizations.
How the risk assessment findings will be
communicated AND who you need to tell
I will arrange a meeting with Project Director, HSE Manager, and Site Engineer to brief about risks
occurring on the sites and suggest actions about correction or minimizing the risk. I provided the
summary of all risks related to the construction sites to the Project Director .Meanwhile Agenda of
meetings, recommendations of meeting and conclusion points of the meeting will email to all
concerned person for record .Major risks should be conveyed to the all employees via tool box talk
or by posters. A summary of risk assessment and safe procedure of work place will be delivered
via social media page to all employees of firms
I will set a reminder of 15 days to remind the concerned department for implementation of
suggested recommendations for corrections. I will talk to the responsible authorities about the
status of procedure either they implemented or still the action is required .Meanwhile I will also
inquire if the actions is still pending, if the actions are still pending then I will try to know the reason
behind it .If there will be any problems to handle the situation ,I will discuss with project director
either there is any alternative solution of the actions .If these will be remain overdue for more than 3
month then an information will be conveyed to the Managing Director via Project director for
actions.
How you will follow up on the risk
assessment to check that the actions
have been carried out
