1.0 PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES This procedure covers all activities of PETROBEL, including contractors personnel working for PETROBEL. Contractors with their own HSE arrangements must also comply with this procedure as a minimum. It has been developed to achieve compliance with Eni E&P Division HSE IMS HSE Standard: HSE Risk Management Doc. No. 1.3.0.03 (Ref 1), Eni HSE Risk Reporting Procedure- DOC. No. 1.3.0.05 (20-02-2006) (Ref 2) and HSE Risk management and Petrobel HSE IMS (Ref 3). It follows the general principles of international management systems (Refs 4, 5, 6, 7). This procedure should be implemented in conjunction with the Petrobel Work Precautions Procedure (Ref 8) where appropriate. The scope of this procedure is to define how risks should be classified, how frequencies and consequences of hazards should be qualitatively assessed and how the relevant mitigation plans should be prepared, and is used to support the formulation and overall ranking of the key risks faced by the Company. Also it gives guidance on how to prepare and update the risk report. The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that all staff in PETROBEL field operations, offices, warehouses and supply bases are aware of, and understand, the importance of their responsibilities for hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control with respect to health, safety and environmental management.
Two levels of risk assessments are addressed in this procedure. The top level (High Risk assessment) allows Petrobel to report a summary of the high level of risks to Ieoc on yearly basis as required by the HSE risk Management Standard of Eni HSE Directives. The second level allows Petrobel departments/ sites to develop detailed risk register which details the main areas of HSE risk associated with their activities.
Effective risk control will enable PETROBEL to minimize the frequency and consequence (severity) of accidents/incidents and ill health, and minimize the environmental impact of its activities. The objectives of this procedure are: 1. to provide a consistent approach to HSE hazard and risk management throughout all activities of the Company in order to minimize HSE risks; 2. to provide a structured process for HSE risk screening, assessment and control.
This procedure is also developed to meet the requirements of Environmental legislation No 4 of 1994 (Ref 9).

General
Hazard:
Something with the potential to cause harm, loss or environmental impact, whether by injury, illness or damage. The Probability of a hazard being realized. The extent of the consequences, which could result from the hazard being realized. Risk is the product of the likelihood and the severity. A document proving a brief, but complete overview of the identified hazards, the relevant screening criteria and the measures (controls) necessary to manage them. Indicates that a hazard or risk is anything other than trivial. One which requires some form of positive safeguard or control measure to eliminate, or reduce it to an acceptable level; A precautionary measure, which prevents or reduces a risk.

Responsible Job Titles
This procedure covers all PETROBEL operations, including activities in offices, warehouse premises and in the field. As these operations will have differing organizational structures, it is necessary to use generic terms for the personnel having responsibilities for risk screening and assessment. In order to provide clarity, these generic terms are defined below with examples. Further guidance may be obtained from the HSE department if required. In certain locations, all of the levels of supervision described in this procedure may not be in place and the same person may, therefore, have more than one set of responsibilities. All personnel are responsible for working with due regard to health, safety and the environment, especially those with responsibility for others, e.g. Line Supervisor: The immediate supervisor of the person(s) who will perform the activities for which the risk screening and assessment is being conducted. The manager of the site / department where the risks of the activity are being screened and assessed. The manager of the relevant Division for the activities being considered.

4. RISK CATEGORIES 4.1 Event Risk Risk is a function of the likelihood of an event and the severity of its consequences. The risk form a particular event, the Event Risk is the HSE risk associated with a specific, discrete scenario (such as helicopter crash, transport accident, oil spill, etc.) in terms of effects on people, environment, assets and reputation and is usually assessed qualitatively. 4.2 RISKS TO PEOPLE (HEALTH AND SAFETY) Hazardous activities may result in injury, fatality or diseases both to those personnel engaged in work associated with the activity or to community. Risks to people may be divided into: a) Personnel Risk - a non-specific term covering the risk of injury, diseases or fatality to personnel from named tasks, or from routine or special operations. b) b) Individual risk- the total risk of death in a fixed time period (most often one year) to which a worker or a member of the community may be exposed from all credible hazards and sources of accidents c) Societal Risk- the risks to society arising from operations; the term society in this context include communities, residential areas. In general the public domain which is not connected with those operations. 4.3 Risk to Critical equipment and Facilities The risks to critical equipment protecting personnel from high hazard operations also need to be addressed. Such equipment and facilities may include Temporary Refuges (TRs) and electronic control system. 4.4 Environmental Risk The environmental risk is the risk to the environment from different activities that fall under the responsibility of the company. As a consequence, environmental risk management should take account of the exposure of the environmental resources to a variety of activities which constitute, as a whole, the sustainable development of the company itself. 4.5 Asset Risk The Asset Risk considers the probability of damage to companys physical assets, impacts on projects (failure to meet project objectives) and operations in terms of production loss, deferred production and costs of replacement of damaged structure and equipment due to any incidents

4.6 Reputation Risk Reputation risk is the risk to the reputation of a company as received by society at large, or sometimes more specifically its peers (other oil companies), its employees, its shareholders, the government or financial situations. The reputation of the company is linked and can be affected by HSE incidents or accidents of all types. Reputation consists of a combination of the characteristics, performance and behavior of a company and importantly for risk management, the perception of the company. Although reputation can be considered as an intangible asset, it is important because it can affect the ability of the company to establish or maintain business at all stages of the development cycle. Therefore, actual or perceived HSE impacts can damage the reputation/ the business of the company and in turn tangible company assets.

HIGH LEVEL RISK ASSESSMENT
High Level Risk Assessment should be conducted for all departmental activities. A risk screening exercise of all departmental activities is to be conducted on an annual basis. Nevertheless, major activities e.g, project modifications; seismic surveys, drilling, etc., require a separate risk screening and assessment prior to initiation. The line manager should plan the exercise by splitting the job into discrete sub-activities and identifying the required expertise in the team which will be doing the assessment.
This chapter provides a guide for the preparation of the Company-wide HSE Risk Reports, in compliance with the Eni E&P Divisions HSE Management System. The scope of this chapter is to provide guidance on how to prepare and update the Risk Report. In particular, it defines how risks should be classified, how frequencies and consequences of hazards should be qualitatively assessed and how the relevant mitigation plans should be prepared, and is used to support the formulation and overall ranking of the key risks faced by the Company. This process does not apply to projects, which are carried out under the control of the relevant IMS Risk Management process and procedure. 5.1 Formulating the Team In general, these high level risk assessment teams should be led by the department general manager and include the line manager and the line supervisor of the proposed activity, along with a member of the HSE department and medical department along with any other expertise that is thought necessary.
5.2 Instruction For The High Level Risk Register Preparation and Updating This Standard defines how the high level Company Risk Registers shall be prepared and updated; it is not intended to be used as the only reference in preparing detailed department/ site/ project risk registers. Seven Areas of Risk have been identified. Risks associated to each area shall be addressed, where applicable (see Table No. 1). Other risk areas and categories may be added to the list depending on specific local conditions.

Risk Areas are numbered to allow a management summary to be developed in a structured manner, which shows where the key risks are located. Risk Ranking Matrices are used to rank the risks, according to the following process. Upon selection of the Risk Areas (step 1), the Risk Category (step 2) and the identification of potential areas of impact - P, E, A, R - (step 3), it is necessary to associate a frequency (or probability) of occurrence to the events being analyzed (step 4). This can be done by using the reference matrix in Annex B1. Two different methods can be adopted to enter the proper frequency, depending on whether or not such an event has already happened within the Company. In the first case (reactive method) the frequency category of the event can be identified by using Table 2. Frequencies corresponding to 0 and A are not covered, as these categories imply that the event has not happened within the Company, and therefore the second method should be used. Table (2) Annual Frequency Has occurred at least once in Company Has occurred several times in Company Has occurred several times per year in Company Has occurred several times per year in one location
Table 2 Frequency evaluation (reactive method)
Where there is no experience of any previous occurrence of the event being analyzed within the Company, the following method be used (predictive method), where the realization of the hazard under consideration is the result of potential failures or absence of relevant controls, which may be hardware (HC) or operational (OC) in nature. Table 3 shows how the level of risk is determined, based on the number of, and reliability of the controls.

In either case a frequency category 0 to E (for reactive), or 0 to C (for predictive), will be allocated to the event. This parameter, together with the severity category of the events consequences (identified in accordance with the guidance provided in the E&P Division HSE Risk Management Standard [Ref.1]), will allow the risk figure to be entered in the matrix of Annex B1 (step 5). The risk may fall in the red region (High Risk); in the yellow region (Medium Risk) or in the light blue region (Low Risk); the meaning of these regions is explained in section 7.2 of this document. The next step (step 6) requires that measures are identified that allow the High Risk events to be moved at least to the Medium Risk area and the Medium Risk events to be moved, if practicable, as close as possible to the Low Risk area. This can be done by taking measures which reduce the severity of the event or its probability of occurrence. An Action Plan shall be drafted to ensure that these measures are then implemented in a controlled manner. Examples of Hardware and Operational Controls are provided in Table 4 and Table 5 respectively.

DETAILED RISK ASSESSMENT
Task Related Risk Assessments include specific activities e.g scaffold erection, material handling, loading/offloading, transportation etc. The line manager in this case should formulate a team led by the supervisor of the specific activity and including a member of the HSE department along with personnel specific to the task if deemed necessary. The following chapter of this procedure will focus on the risk management process and on how to perform risk screening and assessment. 6.1 Risk Management process: The Risk management Process (see figure 1) is a continuous, iterative process, which typically consists of four major tasks: 1 2 Identification and definition of hazards and their potential effects. Evaluation of the risk arising from identified hazards in terms of evaluation of the likelihood/ probability/ frequency of occurrence of accident sequence and evaluation of the severity of the consequences. Assessment of tolerability of risk to people, environment, assets and reputation by comparing risk level with the relevant tolerability criteria. identification of risk reduction measures needed to reduce the likelihood/ probability/ frequency (prevention) and/ or the consequence of an accident (control and mitigation)

Risks arise from the interaction of people, equipment, materials and the work environment. The intent of the risk screening and assessment process is to systematically identify the hazards, their probability of occurrence and their potential consequences, screen and assess the risks, develop and implement control measures which minimize the risk, and record the findings of the process.
The process addresses three fundamental questions:
(a)
What can go wrong and how often? i.e. Identify the hazards and the likelihood of occurrence. What would happen if something did go wrong? i.e. Identify the consequences.
(b)
The product of the answer to these first two questions establishes the initial potential risk from the activity.
(c)
What can be done to prevent or minimize this risk? i.e. Identify and implement the control measures needed.
The Risk Screening and Assessment process consists of five essential steps. Identify the Hazards Evaluate the Risk Analyze the Risk Reduce/Control the Risk Record and Review
Each step of the assessment process should be completed before going onto the next. 6.2 Identify the Hazards This is the starting point for the risk assessment and requires consideration of all the tasks that are likely to be carried out. In order to assess the risks associated with the tasks, a manageable level of detail is required and this may require the task to be broken down into discrete steps.
Rev 1
Page 24
Page 25 of 68
6.2.1
Definition of Tasks
Each task should be identified in terms of: Activities Use of plant and equipment Use of materials/substances Workplace Procedures used
This should help to build up, in time, an inventory of tasks that Departments conduct and the type of work carried out in the different workplace areas. 6.2.2 Record the Hazards
Once all the tasks have been identified, an inventory should be drawn up, which lists all the tasks carried out in each workplace area. These tasks may be considered as routine, non-routine or generic, and should be fed forward for risk assessment. To ensure that all hazards are identified at this stage, typical risk screening key words are listed in Appendix A2 and hazard identification checklist tables are provided for guidance in Appendix A3. The checklists given are not exhaustive and should be updated each time a new hazard is identified. Look for what could reasonably be expected to cause harm. Ignore the trivial and concentrate on significant hazards, which could result in serious harm or affect several people. Manufacturer instructions and material data sheets can help put risks in perspective. 6.3 Evaluate the Risks Decide who may be harmed and how. Think also about people who may not be at the work place at the time, e.g. cleaners, visitors, contractors, and members of the public, etc. Is there any chance that they might be harmed by the activities? Consider the probability of realization of the hazards. Typical factors which may affect the analysis of probability include:
Rev 1
The number of times the situation occurs; Duration of exposure; Quantities of materials involved; Environmental conditions, e.g. lighting, temperature; Competence of people involved;
Page 25
Page 26 of 68
Condition of equipment.
Estimate the hazard effects, i.e. the consequence of the risks arising from the hazards. The assessed severity rating of the hazard effects, with or without any control measures in place, should be entered on the Risk Assessment form as a number using the Consequence (Severity) Rating shown in each matrix. 6.4 Analyze the Risks Analyze the initial Risk Rating (Risk Rating With Existing Control Measures) by multiplying the consequence number by the likelihood number/ letters, to provide a risk rating (or ranking) for each hazard. This product of these two ratings should be entered in the Risk column on the relevant Risk Assessment Matrix (Appendix B). The values in the Risk column provide an indication of priority and of the extent of the risk without any specific control measures. The objective of this process is not to arrive at a certain number but to provide a systematic method of ensuring that consequence and likelihood ratings are analyzed carefully and a record made of the analysis for future reference and review. The next step is to consider the existing control measures and additional control Measures needed to control, reduce and minimize the risk for each identified hazard. The preferred hierarchy for the control measures is described in Section 6.5 below. The control measures may address the consequence, the likelihood or both. The required control measures for each hazard should be recorded alongside each hazard on the Risk Assessment Form (Appendix A7). Appendix A4 provides guidance on the type of control measures that can be employed for the various hazards. Residual Risk to assess the residual risk that remains with the control measures in place, new hazard effect (consequence) and likelihood ratings are selected from the relevant matrices, with the inclusion of the control measures. The product of these two ratings provides a measure of the Residual Risk and completes the risk analysis stage. The information provided in the Residual Risk box is used in the next stage of the risk assessment to evaluate whether the risk is adequately controlled or not. Risk Evaluation - this is the final step in the risk assessment process and will require the assessor to decide if the hazards identified have been controlled to a suitable level. The risk analysis stage took into account the control measures currently applied to the hazard and, therefore, the result of the analysis indicates the amount of risk that remains, or the residual risk.
Rev 1
Page 26
Page 27 of 68
From this analysis, the risk matrices shown in Appendix B indicate whether the residual risk of each hazard is:
Broadly acceptable and generic control measures are required aimed at avoiding deterioration.( Continuous improvement) Tolerable only once a structured review of risk-reduction measures has been carried out and implemented (Risk reduction measure) Not acceptable and risk control measures are required to move the risk figure to the previous regions(Intolerable risk)
Record the results in the final (right hand) column of the Risk Assessment Form. This risk rating assessment will assist in deciding priorities for action and in deciding the authorization levels for the work commensurate with the risk. In general, high risks may require the provision of considerable additional resources involving special equipment, training, high levels of supervision, and consideration of the most effective methods of eliminating or controlling hazards. Some situations may require special consideration, including: if the task is new, complex or unfamiliar if the task is unusual or occasional if it is impractical to comply with normal industry standards if previously used safeguards are not appropriate for this activity
There may be a need to consider alternative engineering solutions to eliminate the risk from the task, if no suitable combination of control measures can be found, which would reduce risks to an acceptable level. Lower level risks may be considered as acceptable but actions should still be taken to try to reduce these risks further if possible within reasonable limits. 6.5 Reduce / Control Risk
Use the following hierarchy to reduce risks to acceptable levels: Elimination or Substitution Eliminate the hazard; e.g. use of sodium hypochlorite solution instead of free chlorine gas for disinfectant purposes. Hazard Reduction
Rev 1
Page 27
Page 28 of 68
Reduce the hazard with an alternative; e.g. use flame retardant scaffold boards where hot work may be taking place.
Segregation Isolate the hazard from people; e.g. fencing of excavations, machine guards. Control Control the hazard by introducing suitable measures, which may be in either or both of the following two categories; Personal controls Organizational controls competence based (e.g. well trained staff) rule based (e.g. adherence to work procedures)
Controls should be introduced using the following preferred sequence: (a) (b) (c) (d) Procedures, such as permit to work, emergency response, etc. training and instruction supervision maintenance
Mitigation Provide personal protective equipment (PPE) as necessary, e.g. hard hats, boots, gloves, harnesses to prevent falls from height, etc.
Typical control measures are provided in Appendix A4.
When considering what control measures are already provided, or need to be provided, to control or reduce the risk, the risk assessor must take into account the possibility of control measures not being implemented because of human error, lack of maintenance, difficulty in compliance, complexity of instructions, etc. It is essential to discover how the task is actually carried out and base the assessment on this, rather than assessing the likelihood on how the task is supposed to be carried out. 6.6 Record the Findings For each of the more significant hazards identified, e.g. fire, electric shock, etc, write down the control measures to be used to manage the risk from the hazard, e.g. for fire, controls including evacuation and emergency response procedures, fire extinguishers, etc.

Once the risk assessments have been completed, a Work Plan should be prepared for the more complex activities. A sample plan is indicated in Appendix A6.
6.7 Monitor and Review If there is any significant change to the hazards or consequences, the risk assessments should be revised and the data base updated. Risk assessments should be reviewed annually.

7. RISK TOLERABILITY CRITERIA:
7.1 EVENT RISK SCREENING MATRIX A preliminary measure in the global assessment of risk is the Event Risk Screening Matrix. This provides definition of consequences and a range of qualitative criteria to estimate probability or frequency for risks to people, the environment, etc. The meaning of the terms in the matrix, such as continuous improvement, etc is explained below in section 7.2. This matrix is mandatory in the identification of high level HSE Risks during risk screening (Major Hazard Analysis, Environmental Impact Assessment etc.). This matrix provides the basis to identify significant risks or areas of risk and prioritise further assessment and management efforts. Risk screening matrices are suitable to be linked with other means of assessing tolerability, especially when assessing human risk in high hazard scenarios, usually connected with safety accidents. 7.2 Risk Matrices and Criteria Risk matrices also provide a means of assessing risk in single areas of concern such as to the environment. The risk matrix is a tool, inspired to the ISO standard 17776, which shall be used as a background for setting risk tolerability criteria. When used as a qualitative matrix, it considers events that have been experienced by the Company or the Company may expect in case of deterioration of such events. In case Company history/experience is considered not consolidated (in terms of No. of plants / operations), reference shall be made to E&P industry in the same geographical area. The matrix axes, consistent with the definition of risk, are Consequences and Likelihood / Probability or Frequency. The vertical axis represents the measure of the potential consequences of credible scenarios. A scale of consequences from 1 to 5 is used to indicate increasing severity. The potential consequences of credible scenarios are considered as consequences that could have resulted from the released hazard if circumstances had been less favorable. The horizontal axis represents the measure of likelihood / probability / frequency of the occurrence of a hazardous event. Such a scale is defined in general terms from 0 to E on the basis of historical evidence or experience that such consequences have materialized within E&P industry or the Company. The risk matrices included in Appendices, are separated in three regions that identify the limit of risk tolerability; such regions are:
Rev 1
Page 30
Page 31 of 68
1. Continuous improvement
The level of risk is broadly acceptable and generic control measures are required aimed at avoiding deterioration.
2. Risk reduction measure
The level of risk can be tolerable only once a structured review of riskreduction measures has been carried out (where necessary, the relevant guidance from the local Authorities should be adopted for application of ALARP). ALARP is a concept that applies well only to personnel risk. For environmental risk the concept of Best Practicable Environmental Option (BPEO) is more frequently applied. Asset risk is often most easily judged on a basis of costs and benefits alone.
3. Intolerable risk
The level of risk is not acceptable and risk control measures are required to move the risk figure to the previous regions.
Depending on the position of intersection of a column with a row in the matrix, it is possible to classify the risk. For the same scenario (grouping all hazardous events which have the same severity of consequences), a resulting likelihood / probability / frequency is assigned or calculated, such that the risk can be classified. The classification is repeated for all the risk areas (People, Environment, Assets and Reputation). The overall risk of a hazard is classified according to which among consequences has the highest rating. 7.2.1 Event Screening The Event Risk Screening Matrix is reported in Appendix B1 and provides definition of consequences and a range of qualitative criteria to estimate likelihood / probability or frequency. This shall be used in the identification if high level HSE risk during risk screening. This matrix provides the basis to identify significant risks or areas of risk (e.g. transportation risk) and priotrize further assessment and management effort. Should the qualitative risk figure be intolerable, either a quantitative risk analysis (QRA) or the adoption of fit- for purpose and more effective risk reduction measures shall be required. 7.2.2 Personal Risk (task)
When considering Occupational Health and Safety Risk Assessment related to specific tasks, a qualitative approach is preferred, since it is usually based on past experience. The Personnel (Task) Risk Assessment Matrix is based on the document Task Risk Assessment Guide - A step change in safety (Ref 10). The occupational health risk (occupational illness or injury) is usually based on exposure to hazardous agents (physical, chemical, etc.); this is covered by specific
Page 31
Page 32 of 68
Minimum Health Standards (Ref. 11). For more details about the occupational health risk, please see the Petrobel/ Health Risk Assessment procedure that will be in Petrobel OHMS manual. The Risk to personal Assessment Matrix is reported in Appendix B2. 7.2.3 Risk to people (E&P Operation) Risk to people induced by the E&P operations can be assessed qualitatively and quantitatively. When performing Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) as a forecast of possible, future events, fatalities have to be considered with care, avoiding a deterministic approach; in this context, for example, to evaluate the risk of fatality, it is necessary to consider not only the frequency (or probability) of the accidental load (in terms of radiation from a fire, overpressure from an explosion, toxicity from a toxic release etc.) but also the vulnerability of humans to this load. The Risk to People (E&P Operations) Assessment Matrix is reported in Appendix B3. 7.2.4 Environmental Risk The environmental risk matrix has been derived from a document prepared by the OLFs environmental committee for oil spill to sea (Ref 12) and has been extended to onshore activities too; it is reported in Appendix B5. This matrix essentially provides an expansion of the definitions of environmental consequences included in the Event screening matrix. As far as consequences are concerned, a list of options is shown; they are not to be used contemporarily; for example, in sensitive areas, the option based on amount of spilled oil is not suitable, and is preferable to adopt options related to protection of fauna and flora. 7.2.5 Asset Risk The asset risk matrix is reported in Appendix B6. Even in this case, different options are shown to describe consequences, based on times and costs for repair. As far as probability / frequency is concerned, both quantitative and qualitative criteria are shown, where the latter is based on reliability of technical / operational protection systems, such as temporary refuges, control systems etc. The reliability is expressed in terms of minimum number of failures needed for the hazard to be realized (higher the number of failures, higher the number of barriers against the hazardous event). 7.2.6 Reputation Risk Reputation is essentially an intangible asset. However, HSE risks can have a significant impact on reputation with serious consequences to the Company. It is therefore advisable that the reputation aspect of any risk is properly evaluated against the criteria in Appendix B7.

7.2.7 Social Responsibility Risks

Social Responsibility factors should be treated as a possible cause of concurrent impact to safety and health to people, asset, reputation and environment. As a consequence, no separate specific criteria matrices are specified (see Appendix B8).
7.3 Risk management Options For any given risk there are four basic management approaches
Take/Accept the risk is tolerated in its basic state with no active controls being applied Terminate the factors which create the risk are eliminated (eg replacement of dangerous chemicals) Treat/Manage apply controls in the form of hardware, software, procedures with the effect of reducing the frequency or consequences of the event Transfer Insure or outsource.

CONTROL MEASURES GUIDANCE
Control measures should be applied as described in Section 5.4, using the hierarchy: Elimination or Substitution Eliminate the hazard; e.g. use of sodium hypochlorite solution instead of free chlorine gas for disinfectant purposes. Hazard Reduction Reduce the hazard with an alternative; e.g. use flame retardant scaffold boards where hot work may be taking place. Segregation Isolate the hazard from people; e.g. fencing of excavations, machine guards. Control Control the hazard by introducing suitable measures, which may be in either or both of the following two categories; Personal controls Organizational controls competence based (e.g. well trained staff) rule based (e.g. adherence to work procedures)
Controls should be introduced using the following preferred sequence: (a) (b) (c) (d) Procedures, such as permit to work, emergency response, etc. training and instruction supervision maintenance Mitigation Provide personal protective equipment (PPE) as necessary, e.g. hard hats, boots, gloves, harnesses to prevent falls from height, etc.

HSE WORK PLAN EXAMPLE
Description of Activity
This generic risk assessment and control arrangements covers the erection and dismantling of scaffolding on a construction site for work at heights carried out by employees and contractors. 2 Persons at Risk
Personnel erecting and/or dismantling the scaffolding will be especially at risk from the following hazards. Any other person in the area could also be at risk from falling objects or scaffolding collapse. 3 Hazards
The significant hazards associated with the erection/dismantling of scaffolding are :a) Scaffolding Collapse b) Adverse Weather (High Wind, Rain, Snow) c) Falling Objects d) Person(s) Falling from Scaffolding e) Inadequate Lighting f) Open Grating (if applicable) g) Access/Egress h) Trapping of Body Parts Between Scaffolding Components or Between Components and Surfaces i) Striking People or Equipment with Scaffolding Components j) Striking/Obstructions k) Contact with Hot/Cold Surfaces Others hazards include, but are not restricted to :Particles (Dust from Board Cutting, Debris in Tubing) Cuts/abrasions from Sharp Edges, Swarf, Contact with Hand Saws Extreme Ambient Temperature Stacking/Storing of Scaffolding Components 4 Risk Analysis and Evaluation
The following arrangements should eliminate or reduce the risk from the above hazards to a tolerable level.
