What is e-HIRARC
HIRARC is an integration tool to identify, assess/measure and to control hazard and risk of any workplace
and its activities. By strictly implementing it, it will eliminate, reduce/control the possibility for any accidents
to occur.
The acronym of HIRARC uses the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control. A universal
method widely used by Occupational Health and safety practitioner in any field of industries.
According clause 4.3.1 of OHSAS 18001:2007, an establishment of procedure is a MUST to ensure the
identification of risk, risk assessment, and its determination can be implemented and maintained. The
aspects of hazard should take into account for;
1). routine and non-routine activities
2). activities of all persons having access to the workplace (including contractors and visitors);
3). human behaviour, capabilities and other human factors
4). identified hazards originating outside the workplace capable of adversely affecting the health
and safety of persons under the control of the organization within the workplace
5). hazards created in the vicinity of the workplace by work-related activities under the control of
the organization
6). infrastructure, equipment and materials at the workplace, whether provided by the
organization or others
~ Control of unacceptable health risks via appropriate counter measures (e.g. personal protective
equipment, engineering controls, product, substitution etc.)
~ Annual reviews of effectiveness of the process
It may a practical approach to the assessor to examine the hazard that available at workplace.
The HAZID table has elaborate the extent information on main hazard. It will help the assessor to
conform with the suitable hazard factor without thinking further on what subject that suppose to
feed in the e-HIRARC later.
Once completed, assessor can start to perform assessment through e-HIRARC documentation
below
The hazard has been break through from the numbers of source, namely as;
- Work environment
- Energy
- Mechanical
- Ergonomic
- Chemical
- Biological
- Environment
- Animal / insects
- Major disaster
- Radiation, &
- Other hazards
There is also assistance for users to get them comfortable to choose the risk control at their workplace
through drop-down button needs to be selected via E-S-I-E-A-P. The E-S-I-E-A-P approach carried the
means of prioritization of action sequence by Elimination (E), Substitution (S), Isolation (I), Engineering
control (E), Administration (A) and P for PPE.
5). To log the activity and its sub-process. It is important for user to define ALL activity including non-
routine process and emergency event. It may possible for the assessment will incomplete if the user did
not addressed the process comprehensively.
8). Identify the hazard that may possible to be available. User can specify into detail description
in the column (if any).
9). Determine the potential risk that would be occurred as a result the existence of hazard.
10). Analyse the risk based from existing control implemented in workplace
11). Specify the control where it was needed
12). Take into consideration on applicable legal
13). Assess the risk through combination of Likelihood vs Severity. Worksheet 'matrix' has addressed the
assessment scale (min: 1 & max: 5) for likelihood and severity and result of risk evaluation as well.
14). Once complete, press button 'update e-HIRARC' and see the output is automatically generated.
15). User may create another file for assessing the risk of other process. There is also the creation of new
files needed if the number of process sequence (as defined in note#5) is defined more than the allocated
space in the 1st step of the Joblist. There is also necessary additional file to be created if more than 9
activities where the hazard-risk needs to be assessed.
Mark the Priority Number ( 1 to 9) to assist you on which activity that needs to be taken action first. Once
complete, summarization can be sighted in the worksheet 'RISK REG LIST' for user to make overview and
plan for improvement activity
Saving / Printing
It is highly recommended that the completed e-HIRARC needs to be saved in protected file such as PDF.
This is to ensure that the data inserted in the e-HIRARC is remain secured and to prevent unintendedly
change cause to record will be lost.
For those PC did not provided with PDF software, they may download it from http://www.dopdf.com/, a free
file converter that you can find it from internet. This free software is reliable to protect your record from
missing
Correction
Data in the Joblist is remain empty until insertion of input from the user.
However, once the form has been updated, its would not be possible the form to be re-empty again via
undo process
Therefore, if user want to correct the Joblist and making the data become empty again, click 'Clear Data'
button and delete the reference number in the respective activity.
Then, you may resume the data input by clicking the 'Back to Joblist' button
7). Educate user the concept & structure of basic e-HIRARC such as identification of hazard source, risk
control via ESIEAP and risk evaluation conceptual.
