Question…
“What are we doing, that
we have always done, that
is no longer an acceptable
risk?”
3
Dedication
This training is dedicated to all employees
who have suffered disabling injuries
and to the memory of employees who
died in workplace injuries.
4
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
5
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

Why is Risk Analysis and
Reduction Important?


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?
8
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.
9
What’s Your Personal Risk Tolerance?
What is your personal risk perception of
the following activities?
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

Factors That Influence Our Decisions


Personal Factors
 Experience
(Positive/negative)
 Knowledge/Skill
 Age
 Physical Ability
Situational Factors
 Stress
 Rushing
 Control

Organizational
Factors
 Safety System
 Leadership Behaviors
 Peer Behaviors
11
Personal Factors
What personal beliefs would motivate someone do this?
12
Our Actions Are Driven By
Organizational Beliefs

Safety Systems


Leadership Behaviors


Are systems in place to encourage people
to do the job with minimal risk?
Are at-risk, time-saving actions accepted?
Peer Behaviors

Do our co-workers encourage at risk
behavior?
13
Organizational Factors
What is in the safety system that would allow this?
14
The Social Environment & 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 ”
15
Risk Perception



We perceive risk differently
Many factors influence our decision
By understanding our risk tolerance and
personal / organizational factors, we
can prevent injuries
16
Objective Reasoning vs.
Personal Opinion
Use the risk assessment matrix instead of
relying on one person’s assessment of
what is “risky”
17
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

The intersection of PROBABILITY
and SEVERITY in the chart above
equals the Risk Code.
Risk Code 1 - Proceed with caution
Risk Code 2 - Further evaluation/consultation
should be considered.
Risk Code 3 - STOP - Determine an alternative
solution

20
What Risk Code Would You Assign?
21
Identifying Hazards

Identify hazards
before starting a
task:


What is involved in
this task that can
hurt me or my coworkers?
How can I/we keep
from being hurt
while performing
this task?

Types of Hazards


Unsafe conditions
Unsafe acts
(behaviors)
22
Assessing the Risks



Surroundings
Work, equipment and tools
Likelihood and extent of harm – what is
the risk code?
23
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?
24
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 ….
25
Not Sure of a Safe Process to
Use?




Work together to develop a safe
solution
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 postoutage meetings, team meetings, etc.
Act safely
26
Let’s Try the Process!



Form teams
Select one of the six examples on the
following slides
View the picture and then…




Identify the hazards
Assess the risks
Develop a safe solution or plan
Report back to the group in 10 minutes

Team Report Out



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?
33
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.
Participate in injury prevention activities on and off the job
