Hazard Control Summary

All identified hazardous conditions should be eliminated or controlled immediately. Where this is not possible, interim control measures are to be implemented immediately to protect workers, warning signs must be posted at the location of the hazard, all affected employees need to be informed of the location of the hazard and of the required interim controls, and permanent control measures must be implemented as soon as possible. 

Where a supervisor or foreman is not sure how to correct an identified hazard or is not sure if a specific condition presents a hazard, the supervisor or foreman shall seek technical assistance from the designated competent person, safety and health officer, or technical authority. 

It is important that all hazards are identified and an assessment is made of the potential risk from the hazard. This allows for the determination of the real danger. If a high degree of risk and danger exists, then efforts must be undertaken to alleviate or mitigate the potential danger.

TABLE 1-1 Summary of Access and Hazard Control Measures. 

From the notes of this meeting the Pilot Plant Director prepares the Hazard Review Summary. This Summary specifies the necessary engineering controls, work practices, administrative procedures and personal protective equipment necessary to manufacture the product at a low level of risk. This Summary is circulated to appropriate personnel.

Upon first reading the summary report, you can immediately see that the HAZOP results have yielded not only safety issues but also operational issues. Also, the HAZOP has indicated various entries that are already well controlled. The safeguards column demonstrates the current state of safety in the node. This summary report is very useful in demonstrating to inspectors your thoroughness of analysis and current state of hazard control—various items are already under control, and only some of the items must be taken to disposition.

Outcomes of the study should be recorded on the Hazard Study 2 Summary Table . The summary table will be developed during hazard study 2 and subsequent studies to provide a concise overview of the hazard control measures. This information should form the basis for phases 3 and 4 of the safety life cycle records for the project.

This information sheet from the Health and Safety Executive summaries the health hazards that can arise from exposure to styrene. It provides practical advance to FRP manufacturers on how to assess and control styrene levels in the workplace and how these control measures should be monitored and maintained in accordance with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002. The document applies mainly to contact moulding processes, and aims to define what level of control is currently recognised as being reasonably practicable.

In answer to the first question, the Committee suggests a two-tier system of inexpensive, short-term, sensitive mutagenicity tests that could be widely applied to identify substances that may represent a mutagenic hazard. The first tier uses one microbial test and two mammalian cell-culture tests. If the results of this tier are inconclusive, a Drosophila test (the second tier) is used. If the results are still insufficient for a manufacturing or control decision, further tests cure available, including those using mice. The test scheme is presented later in this summary and in more detail in Chapter 9.

Safety Profiles are text summaries of the reported hazards of the entry. The word experimental indicates that the reported effects resulted from a controlled exposure of laboratory animals to the substance. Toxic effects reported include carcinogenic, reproductive, acute lethal, and human nonlethal effects, skin and eye irritation, and positive mutation study results.
