5. Procedures

5.1 General

ZOSCO has the duty to conduct “suitable” and “sufficient” risk assessments for
the key operations involving the business units and assess on a W.U.R./S.O.W
Package basis any specific risks additional to those associated with the
business unit.
The above is based on the assumption that employers have a legal obligation
to assess the risks from their work activities / sites and implement the relevant
risk control measures.
Consistent to the above, all activities must be covered by risk assessment
including routine works which will be covered by Job Safety Analysis (JSA).
Generally, specific risk assessment shall be undertaken prior to:
• Performing any non-routine activity
• Performing a new task
• When new people are involved
• When third party people are involved
Doc# : MOF-QHSE-ZOSCO-PR-01

Engineering & Construction Division


Title Standard Operating Procedure : Management of |Risk

• When major changes to the work/system are considered


Risk Assessments (RA) shall be carried out at the earliest practical opportunity
to identify, evaluate and subsequently eliminate, reduce or control the
significant risks that could lead to loss of life, equipment or endangering of the
environment.
In all cases RA should be conducted suitably in advance of the intended work
to allow the control measures to be correctly implemented.
RA’s shall be performed in a systematic manner to identify hazards from all
stages and all phases of work as defined in the scope. Hazards identified at
this stage may substantially reduce future liabilities.
The outline stages for performing these assessments, as detailed herein, are:
• The identification of all hazards;
• An evaluation of the associated risks;
• Determination and selection of risk reduction/control measures;
• Implementation of the control measures;
• Continuous monitoring of effectiveness.
The management of risk shall be conducted in accordance with the following
process map:

5.2 Identification Of Potential Risks

At the beginning and throughout the project, the Project Manager shall prepare
and update an exhaustive list of events that may have a detrimental effect on
the project. This shall be carried out without rating their probability or impact of
their consequences. The purpose of this stage is to identify and where
possible, limit the effect of any potential risks that may affect the running of the
project. The list will be prepared from the following information:
Doc# : MOF-QHSE-ZOSCO-PR-01

Engineering & Construction Division


Title Standard Operating Procedure : Management of |Risk

• Review of project documents, plans and budgets;


• Review of previous projects reports, internal reviews, risk reports etc.;
• Past experience, (personal, team or through brainstorming;
• External sources, (expert advice);
• Identification of key events and decisions where risk may be introduced or
eliminated.
A Project specific Risk Management Plan may be prepared and issued as
required.
The content for a typical Risk Management Plan may be as follows:
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Description of Project
1.2 Objectives
1.3 Application
2.0 ORGANISATION
2.1 Project Organisation
2.2 Responsibilities
3.0 RISK IDENTIFICATION AND EVALUATION
3.1 Identification of risks
3.2 Evaluation
3.3 Actions
3.4 Reports
This should be applied to each phase of the Project with specific regard to the
engineering and design installation as these are the phases where most of the
potential hazards may be eliminated/controlled in the first place.
This exercise should be carried out through an ad-hoc ‘Hazid Meeting’ called
and developed under the overall responsibility of the Project Manager.
These Hazid Meetings should e carried out throughout the various phases of
the Project (i.e. Engineering, design installation, fabrication, installation etc.).
A competent ‘Hazid’ team leader shall chair the meeting which is normally
attended by the representative(s) of the involved work disciplines.
The stages of the whole ‘Hazid’ exercise are outlined within the next section.
The process of hazard identification should be applied to each activity in turn.
Pre-determined deviations from normal conditions will enable an assessment
team to compile a comprehensive list of “things” that could realistically go
wrong.
Doc# : MOF-QHSE-ZOSCO-PR-01

Engineering & Construction Division


Title Standard Operating Procedure : Management of |Risk

Each potential risk shall be identified and documented on the Risk Assessment
Report (see App. 1).
5.3 Risk Assessments

 STAGES OF THE RISK ASSESSMENT

Three main stages of risk assessment are carried out prior to work
execution.
Stage 1 is conducted by Managers/project personnel and other technical
functions that have ownership and/or are involved in the operation(s)
being assessed.
This assessment is conducted towards the end of the project/equipment
design or engineering phase but well sufficiently in advance of the work to
allow adequate lead time to implement the required control measures.
The hazards identification and risk assessment process shall be
conducted in a form of a “Brain Storming” session where the ‘Structure
What If Techniques’ (SWIFT) is used to identify what realistically could go
wrong.
This ‘Brain Storming’ process may be facilitated by the use of the generic
‘SWIFT’ checklist (see App. 6) and or other tailor made checklists in order
to better suit the scope of the risk assessment.
After the hazards have been identified, the subsequent risk ranking shall
be determined according to the criteria outlined within the risk assessment
Severity Matrix (see App. 5).
The aim is to ensure that all aspects of the work have been assessed
including contingency methods and control measures defined before going
to the worksite such as that all risks are classified As Low As Reasonably
Practicable (ALARP). The assessment should also consider recovery
situations when the work does not go according to the plan.
Appropriate ‘Risk Owners’ shall be also identified and appointed during
this stage.
Time limit for completion of the action shall be also clearly defined.
The appointed ‘Risk Owners’ will manage the risks in such a way to:
• Prioritise actions;
• Schedule actions;
• Allocate resources as required;
• Assign responsibilities;
• Monitor progress;
• Track actions;
Doc# : MOF-QHSE-ZOSCO-PR-01

Engineering & Construction Division


Title Standard Operating Procedure : Management of |Risk

• Ensure completion and formal close out of actions.


Stage 2 is normally carried out at the worksite by the personnel directly
involved in the supervision of the activities using the documented results
of the Stage 1 assessment.
It is primarily instigated to confirming full understanding of the work and
control measures to be implemented but may be also used to further
assess details of the work, control and recovery measures.
Stage 3 is usually called the Tool Box Talk (TBT) phase and it is carried
out as a pre-job briefing given by the Supervisors to the personnel directly
under their control and who will be conducting the work.
Reference is made to the previous Stage 1 and 2 assessments and has
the purpose of ensuring that all personnel fully understand the work, the
control measures, any recovery or contingency measures and their
responsibilities in executing the job.
There is a degree of flexibility in how Stage 1 and 2 assessments are
carried out at the worksite; for example, they may be combined if all
personnel attend the shift briefing and have the opportunity to discuss /
raise further area of concerns.
What is of paramount importance is that everyone involved in the job is
fully aware of his responsibilities; accept the risks and their relevant
control measures.
Hazards shall be identified for each task undergoing a risk assessment
and they will be analyzed to determine the Risk Value.
“Risk Assessment” is the combination of two criteria.
Risk = Consequences x Probability
Consequence
When analyzing the consequences, the following factors shall be
considered:
Who/what can be directly or indirectly affected? (Fatal, major, moderate,
minor or slight injury)
What environmental damage can occur? (Massive, major, medium, minor
or slight effect)
What plant, process or equipment damage may result? (Total loss, major,
medium, minor or slight damage)
All these factors contribute to loss, which is principally caused by the
interaction between people, the environment, materials and equipment.
Probability
When analyzing the likelihood, the following factors shall be considered
based on the judgment of the likelihood of failure that:
Doc# : MOF-QHSE-ZOSCO-PR-01

Engineering & Construction Division


Title Standard Operating Procedure : Management of |Risk

• Harm will occur:


- Very likely;
- Likely;
- Possible;
- Unlikely;
- Very unlikely;
• Past history of the activity;
• Previous incidents history.

5.4 Risk Assessment Criteria

The assessment of risks will define both the Probability of an event and the
Consequence of that event.
These two attributes are used to determine the level of risk and the need for
mitigation measures to reduce the level of risk.
The level of risk (High, Medium and Low) will be assigned according to the
criteria outlined within the risk assessment Severity Matrix (see App. 5).
5.5 Detailed Risk Assessment Procedure

The Hazards Identification and Risk Assessment procedure comprises of 6


main steps which are described hereunder.
1. Task Identification
2. Hazard Identification
3. Identify who/what may be harmed
4. Quantifying the risk
5. Applying control measures

5.6 Handling The Risk

Following the process of risk assessment it will become evident that many risks
will be avoidable or their consequences reduced through the execution of
specific risk reduction and mitigating actions.
The Project Manager shall consider the project risks commencing with the most
significant scores and decide on the measures to be taken to avoid them or
reduce the consequence.
The following actions may be taken to handle the risk:
• Do not accept if the risk level makes it unacceptable;
• Transfer the risk to others (subcontractor or insurer) who may be in a
better position to handle the risk either due to experience (subcontractor) or
statistical compensation (insurer);
• Instigate preventive measures (modify design, acquire equipment or carry
out additional work etc.) always aware of the residual risk;
• If the three actions above are not successful, include provisions to enable
that the project activities are carried out according to the required level of
safety.
The above actions are not absolute and may therefore be used jointly.
5.7 Risk Reduction Measures

Once the risks have been assigned a “Risk Value”, they must be assessed
against agreed acceptability criteria. The indication of the action and time scale
for addressing control measures is presented below.

5.8 Risk Reduction Hierarchy

Risk Reduction Hierarchy


1. Eliminate the risk by removing the hazard - “design out” the
problem at source.
2. Reduce the risk by substitution of a less hazardous process,
activity or substance.
3. Isolate (protect everyone) by effective controls such as
enclosing the hazard, removing the person from the hazard or
reducing the person’s exposure time to the hazard.
4. Install protective devices such as guards, emergency stops and
trip switches etc.
5. Enforce Permits-to-work, special rules and procedures to closely
control the hazard(s)
6. Provide proper supervision / monitoring, supported by training,
instruction and relevant information
Doc# : MOF-QHSE-ZOSCO-PR-01

Engineering & Construction Division


Title Standard Operating Procedure : Management of |Risk

7. Provide Personal Protective Equipment only as a “last resort”


and in support of the above control measures

In addition to those above, other control measures may be required in


accordance with:
• Legislation and “Approved Codes of Practice”;
• Customer requirements;
• International standards.
The purpose of the mitigation is to reduce the risk before it occurs.
The planned preventive actions will be identified according to the ALARP
principle which states that, in order to control risks in the workplace, the
resources (financial, human and material) which need to be applied to
control the risk are directly proportional to the level of risk.
The Risk Assessment Action Record shall be used to specify whether the
risk reduction measures have actually been implemented, will be
implemented, or is currently an option with the action decision dates noted
wherever possible.
Once the relevant risk reduction measures have been agreed and
included in the Risk Assessment Report each single action shall be
recorded by the use of the Risk Assessment Action Record.
The overall status of the required reduction measures shall be recorded
within the Risk Assessment Action Record Summary Log.
On completion of the complete risk assessment process, action shall be
taken by the Assessment Team Leader/Hazid Chairman to ensure that the
necessary controls are implemented.
This will be achieved by issuing the Risk Assessment Report together with
the Risk Assessment Action Record to the appropriate Manager of the
operation / activity covered by the assessment.
When a risk reduction measure has been agreed the Project
Manager/Vessel-Site Management shall be responsible for
implementation of this activity.
As the status of existing risks and the identification of new risks will alter
throughout the duration of the project, the Risk Assessment Report and
the related Risk Assessment Action Record shall be regularly updated.
5.9 Risk Monitoring

The effectiveness of risk reduction measures can only be measured over


time and therefore continuous monitoring is required.
Once risk reduction measures have been integrated into the relevant risk
assessment reports, their progress shall be constantly monitored by the
Doc# : MOF-QHSE-ZOSCO-PR-01

Engineering & Construction Division


Title Standard Operating Procedure : Management of |Risk

Project Manager in conjunction with the Risk Manager (where appointed) /


HSE Manager and the ‘Risk Owners’.
The monitoring shall be assured by regularly updating the relevant risk reports
and reviewing the status of actions.

5.10 Reporting and Records

On completion of Stage 1 Risk Assessment a formal report shall be issued.


This report shall have, as a minimum, the following content:
1. Introduction
− Scope including a summary outline of the work tasks
2. Assessment Records
− The completed forms
3. Recommendations
− Control measures to be implemented (including the responsible person
and time limit).
4. Appendices (as required).
As far as practicable, all activities identified as High (H) or Medium (M) Risk
shall have control measures clearly defined and assessed during Stage 1 of the
‘Hazid’ meeting.
The appointed ‘Risk Owner’ shall report the progress of relevant actions to the
Project Manager and also ensure that any change in risk parameters or new
risks that have appeared are captured and managed accordingly.
Once actions are completed the final ‘Hazid’ Report can be prepared and
issued by the Project Manager.
Stage 2 risk assessments requires the involved forms from stage 1 to be
reviewed and enhanced as needed with further appropriate worksite interface
controls.
When carrying out Stage 3 risk assessment or Tool Box Talk (TBT), the
completed forms and permit to work if relevant, need to be kept on record
during the entire life of the project.

Depending on the size and complexity of the project, the basis of reporting will
be by the following forms:
• Risk Assessment Report (see App. 1): it is used during the ‘Hazid’ meeting
where the whole process of identifying and assessing and ranking the risks
is documented.
• Risk Assessment Actions Record (see App. 2); it used to individually
record any further action which is required to be put in place prior to starting
Doc# : MOF-QHSE-ZOSCO-PR-01

Engineering & Construction Division


Title Standard Operating Procedure : Management of |Risk

the operations. Any individual action record will have to be formally closed
out by the identified risk owner prior to commencing the job.
• The status of risk assessment actions shall be recorded by use of the Risk
Assessment Action Record Summary Log (see App. 3): this is used to
formally record all the required actions and track completion dates.
The requirements and method of reporting shall be determined at the start of
the project by the Chief Project Manager/ Project Manager / QHSE Manager
with consideration of client requirements.
Reporting on mitigation activities and progress shall be considered an
important and essential part of the risk management process.
The reporting periods will be specified by the contract and reporting procedures
or as directed by the Project Manager.
New risks, which are identified in the middle of reporting periods, shall be
recorded on the relevant forms and distributed as necessary.
Risk reporting will form part of the measurement and analysis for the continual
improvement process and input into future risk management processes.
All assessment records shall be filed and held by the relevant “Risk Owner”
within the respective project organization.
They shall be reviewed on a regular basis to ascertain if further assessments
are required and/or that the recommendations are being fully implemented /
closed out.
 Subcontractors Risks

The Project Manager assisted by the Project Representative responsible


for each subcontractor shall be confident that:
The subcontractor has properly identified and assessed all of their risks.
Proper resources/measures are put in place to ensure adequate
monitoring over the effectiveness of the subcontractor’s control of these
risks.
Subcontractor shall be required to:
• Manage the identification and assessment of risks pertinent to their
spheres of activities
• Confirm whether their scope of work is covered by risk assessment
• Conduct risk assessments as required by the Company
Formal reviews will then be performed to improve or validate the input
data and to ensure that all significant risks have been identified in each
area.
This review process will ensure:
• Complete coverage of all aspects of the Project
Doc# : MOF-QHSE-ZOSCO-PR-01

Engineering & Construction Division


Title Standard Operating Procedure : Management of |Risk

• Consistency of approach to risk management across the Project

5.11 Job Safety Analysis (JSA)/Work Rsik Analysis (WRA)

The aim of the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is to clearly identify the hazards to
which an employee will be exposed to on a daily basis at the specific worksite
as they carry out their duties.
It is the responsibility of the Line Manager(s) to ensure that suitable JSA exist
for all the operations carried out within their area of responsibility and that they
are reviewed and updated accordingly.
A JSA is a process, used to identify, analyze and record the steps involved in
performing a specific job.
A WRA is a process, used to identify, analyze and record the steps involved in
performing a specific work.
 RESPONSIBILITIES
• The Line Management is responsible for the implementation of the
whole JSA process;
• The supervisor in charge of the job is responsible for the execution
of the JSA prior to starting the job.
• The HSE personnel on board/sites (i.e., Safety Officer) acts as an
advisor during the whole JSA process and monitor correct
implementation.
• The Project Management office representative is responsible for
WRA .QHSE Manager acts as an advisor in WRA preparation.
 PROCEDURES

Step 1:
The job is chronologically broken down into steps.
Each step describes a stand-alone activity or task.
Step 2:
Each step is analyzed with the workers involved. The potential hazards
associated with the steps are identified and discussed. The risk arising
from the hazards are evaluated. Relevant risks are recorded accordingly.
The ‘trigger’ word to start and carry out the whole exercise is “What if”?
The questions to be answered during this second step are, but not limited
to the following:
• What can go wrong?
• What could be the consequences?
• How could it happen?
Doc# : MOF-QHSE-ZOSCO-PR-01

Engineering & Construction Division


Title Standard Operating Procedure : Management of |Risk

• What are the contributing factors?


In order to facilitate the “What if”? process, the generic JSA checklist may
be used (see App. 7).
Other specific checklists could be also used to better suit the scope of the
JSA.
Step 3:
When the risks are assessed, it is crucial to determine methods to mitigate
them.
The methods may include:
• Technical controls to :
- Eliminate / minimize the hazards like redesigning equipment,
remove the hazards, etc. such as installing ventilation,
- Isolate the hazard with machine guards, welding curtains, etc.,
- Enclose the hazards using enclosures for noisy equipment, etc.
• Administrative controls such as Permit To Work, work instructions,
alarms, warnings, training, etc.
• Personal Protective Equipment when technical controls do not
eliminate the hazards, when safe work practices do not provide
sufficient controls may not be feasible.
All these mitigation methods can be combined.
The mitigation methods are recorded and the responsible person for the
implementation is nominated.
Step 4:
The results of JSA are discussed with the full team of workers assigned to
the job before the beginning of the works during a pre-job meeting/Tool
