Hazard Identification and Reporting

Review facility historical accident and injury records to assist in identifying slip, trip, and fall hazards. Establish written housekeeping procedures and reqnire everyone including patient care staff to immediately report spills and other floor hazards. Incorporate slip, trip, and fall prevention education into recurring safety training. Conduct awareness campaigns to educate employees about the risk of slips, trips, and falls. Provide feedback on the actions taken to prevent slip, trip, and fall injuries.

In this study detailed fault trees with probability and failure rate calculations were generated for the events (1) Fatality due to Explosion, Fire, Toxic Release or Asphyxiation at the Process Development Unit (PDU) Coal Gasification Process and (2) Loss of Availability of the PDU. The fault trees for the PDU were synthesized by Design Sciences, Inc., and then subjected to multiple reviews by Combustion Engineering. The steps involved in hazard identification and evaluation, fault tree generation, probability assessment, and design alteration are presented in the main body of this report. The fault trees, cut sets, failure rate data and unavailability calculations are included as attachments to this report. Although both safety and reliability trees have been constructed for the PDU, the verification and analysis of these trees were not completed as a result of the curtailment of the demonstration plant project. Certain items not completed for the PDU risk and reliability assessment are listed. 

There are significant differences in the laws authorizing the OSHA PSM Standard and the EPA RMP regulation. Because EPA specifically lists substances covered under RMP and does not establish classes of substances, this report separately discusses alternatives for OSHA (Section 8.1) and EPA (Section 8.2). (Section 8.3 briefly discusses regulatory relief absent catastrophic consequences, and Section 8.4 suggests improvements within the requirements of the existing PSM Standard and RMP regulation to enhance hazard identification and hazard evaluation.)...

Several animal models have been developed to study mechanisms of respiratory allergic responses to proteins and chemicals. However, only a few of these have been used as predictive tests in hazard identification and risk assessment. These models have employed guinea pigs, mice or rats. This report describes guinea pig models developed as predictive tests for risk assessment of proteins and LMW chemicals as respiratory allergens.

The CSB Report alleged that assumptions considered by the PHA teams contributed to ineffective hazard identification and ineffective safeguards to prevent equipment failures from HTHA attack on the B and E heat exchangers. There is an old saying that You don t know, what you don t know and this had a tragic outcome. 

Hazard analysis is a technique used to examine the workplace for hazards with the potential to cause accidents. Hazard identification, as envisioned in this section, is a worker-oriented process. The workers are trained in hazard identification and asked to recognize and report hazards for evaluation and assessment. Management is not as close to the actual work being performed as are those performing the work. Even supervisors can use extra pairs of eyes looking for areas of concern. 

Location managers had to report that a Check had been made to assure that the hazard identification and risk assessment actions had been thorough and the necessary risk reduction measures has been taken. Furthermore, location managers were expected to Act by demonsttafions of leadership to reinforce the culture change that had been achieved. 

Within the occupational health and safety legislation there are generally provisions for identification and reporting of hazards in the workplace. Each of these sections in yotrr relevant legislation shotrld be looked up and read thoroughty. 

In 2015 the Hazards Identification and Evaluation Task Force of the American Chemical Society Committee on Chemical Safety issued a lengthy report that described other protocols for hazard assessment. These include (1) Control Banding Chemical Uses in Research Laboratories - similar to Biological Safety Levels as described in Section 7.3.4), (2) Job Hazard Analysis, (3) What-If Analysis, (4) Checklists, and (5) Structured Development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Each of these protocols is described in detail in the Task Force report.

Ergonomics hazard identification and analysis are processes for pinpointing work-related hazards or causes of MSDs and involve examining the workplace conditions and individual elements or tasks of a job to identify and assess the ergonomic risk factors that are reasonably likely to be causing or contributing to the reported MSDs. They can also be preventive measures used to identify jobs and job tasks where MSDs and MSD hazards are reasonably likely to develop in the future. Job hazard analysis is an essential element in the effective control of MSD hazards. In many situations, the causes of MSD hazards are apparent after discussions with the employee and observation of the job, but in other jobs the causes may not be readily apparent. In part, this is because most MSD hazards involve exposure to a combination of risk factors (i.e., multifactorial hazard). For example, it may not be clear in a repetitive motion job whether exposure to repetition, force, or awkward postures is the risk factor that is causing the problem.
