Schedule of the training is to be arranged before the worker perform the task.
Eg. Rigger must complete the Rigger course before he can be appointed as
Rigger.
All the training records need to be kept by the Human Resource department.

Control the hazards and risk to ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable) by getting information through meetings, feedback
session, site inspection, document review (SWP, method statement) and continuous monitoring methods. Regular maintenance
and testing of emergency response procedures and equipment are conducted to ensure that they are in good condition and
preparedness eg. Monthly checks on the fire equipment, fire evacuation drill twice yearly.

Remarks
The prioritization of action items and schedule are based on the risk level,
availability of resources and impact on production schedule. Therefore list
down all the action items first, then put down their risk level if it is not done and
how big is the impact if it is not done. The management should schedule to
work on those action items that provide the highest impact on reducing the risk
first.
In some companies, production schedule may be hindering the regular
maintenance of electrical appliances as any shutdown will cause great impact
in the output. For such cases, it is recommend to have minor shutdown for
example every quarter for half a day and major shutdown for one week of
schedule maintenance.
Nevertheless, financial resources may be a factor that slow down the progress
of the control measures implementation plan, eg. Installing machine enclosure
may be quite costly.
It is important to monitor the effectiveness of the control measures so that it can
be review and improved when necessary. Monthly review meeting to be
conducted to discuss on the inspection finding, feedback and data collected.
The timeframe given to implement the action plans need to be reasonable. Eg.
Training of the worker to operate a new machine may need 1 week at least.
