 3.10 Introduction

A risk assessment is a process to identify potential hazards and analyze what could happen if a
hazard occurs. A business impact analysis (BIA) is the process for determining the potential
impacts resulting from the interruption of time sensitive or critical business processes

Objective

The aims of the risk assessment process are to evaluate hazards, then remove that hazard or
minimize the level of its risk by adding control measures, as necessary. By doing so, you have
created a safer and healthier workplace.

Risk assessment control

The Hierarchy of Control. The Risk Assessment Control Measures that you implement to make
your workplace safer could include a variety of methods, including removing, repairing or
maintaining equipment, introducing and reviewing rules and procedures, and providing
appropriate training and supervision.

Risk Matrix

A risk matrix is essentially a tool that can help you understand the risks your organization faces,
and their overall likelihood and severity, in a visual way. ... If the risk is high on the likelihood
scale and high on the consequence scale, you can define the level of risk as very high.

Procedure:

Sampling Media: Filter Paper

The pump was placed at the sampling point and cassette was fixed in a suitable position. Switch
on the calibrated sampling pump and start the sampling. Then, the sampling time is recorded.
The sampling pump was calibrated at suitable flow rate. Air sample was passed through a Filter
Paper via calibrated sampling pump. Temperature was also recorded. During the sampling
period, the flow meter float was checked periodically to ensure the flow is constant. If the meter
could not be adjusted to correct a problem, the sampling was terminated. At the end of the
sampling, off the switch and record the time. The pump was removed from the sampling point
and the cassette is then removed. Plug in both inlet and outlet hubs. Then label the collected
sample cassette. For each batch of samples, one filter was subjected to exactly the same handling
as the sample except that no air was drawn to it. The pump was then calibrated after monitoring
was completed.

The boundary noise monitoring shall be conducted near to the sampling points/facility.

Further details for the gensets/fire pump can be found in appendix attached at the end of the
report.

Boundary Noise (Sound Level Meter)

Noise Monitoring Instrument

a. Noise level was measured in site using Larson Davis Sound Level Meter (SLM) with
calibrator. This instrument is very sensitive to sounds.
b. This monitoring was carried out for minimum 30 minutes during the day and nighttime at
each point. A set of reading were then tabulated from the point during daytime and
nighttime as well.
c. Noise level parameters measured are:
i. “A” weighting network {Leq [dB(A)]}, and
ii. “Fast” time weighting response.

Procedure of measurement:

1. Turn on the sound level meter and check the battery status.
2. Check calibration and secure microphone into the meter.
3. Attach sound level meter to the selected points at 1.2 to 1.5 meter above the ground and
at least 3.5 m from walls, buildings or other sound reflecting structures.
4. Record readings of each point for at least 30 minutes.
5. Wait and take care of the sound level meter to avoid influence on the result from other
unwanted sound signals until the noise has been accumulated.
6. Stop the record and print the results obtained on a printer.
7. Check the battery level and calibrate again for the next monitoring.

Procedure for Calibrating the Sound Level Meter

1. Turn the meter on by pressing the “ON/OFF” key.

2. Check the battery level by moving the function switch to the “Battery Test” position and
observe the battery status.
3. Insert the microphone into the calibrator’s microphone cavity and ensure it is fully
inserted.
4. Turn on the calibrator’s and slide the function switch to the 114 dB (A).
5. Read the sound level meter display and adjust the display signal to the desired signal by
side-panel pot adjustment.
6. After calibration complete, slide function switch to the OFF position, and remove the
microphone.
7. The sound level meter is now ready for monitoring
8. Check battery level and calibration before using. The meter for the next monitoring.

Laboratory- Chimney 3,4; Biology Laboratory- Chimney 5,7,8,9; DML Lab- Chimney 6;
Microbiology Laboratory- Chimney 13 at the facility located in NIOSH Bangi, Lot 1, Jalan 15/1,
Seksyen 15, 43650, Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia. The testing was conducted in the
20th October until 22nd October 2021.

In this report, source emission testing data presented for measurements which include total
particulate matter (PM), exhaust gas temperature, exhaust flow rate, moisture content, velocity,
and volumetric flow rate.

Site Preparation and Preliminary Survey

Set up all the source emission testing equipment on safe and secure location. The technicians will
evaluate the structure integrity before proceeding to the preliminary survey. The preliminary
survey was conducted in order to measure the exhaust gas temperature, velocity, and flue gas
composition for source requiring particulate testing. The data from this survey was used to
determine the appropriate nozzle size to conduct isokinetic sampling (where the velocity of the
gas entering the nozzle is similar to the gas velocity in the stack) for particulate matter sampling.

On-site Source Emission Testing

Test for total particulate matter was conducted at the defined sampling location on the exhaust
stack of the GLC Laboratory-Chimney1; Environmental Laboratory- Chimney 2,10,11, 12;
CHL Laboratory- Chimney 3,4; Biology Laboratory Chimney 5,7,8,9; DML Lab- Chimney
6; Microbiology Laboratory Chimney 13. Test for combustion gases was also conducted near
the center of the exhaust stack methods presented in accordance with the Environmental
Quality (Clean Air) Regulation 2014.
In addition to the above testing, the exhaust flow rate was determined from the chimney to allow
for mass emission rate calculations from the source.

Laboratory Analysis

61
Samples collected from the stack were carefully stored and transported to the laboratory for
analysis.

Information Review and Reporting

The data collected in the field, along with data from the laboratory analyses, were entered into
source emission testing spreadsheets for analyses. Emission calculations were than performed to
produce the detailed source emissions testing information. Spreadsheet calculations were verified
by hand, and numerous spot checks of spreadsheet formulas were conducted to ensure the
accuracy of data. Summary tables were prepared and incorporated into this report for submission
to National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH).

 6.8.4. Wastewater Monitoring

Grab Sampling is just what it sounds like; all of the test material is collected at one time. As
such, a grab sample reflects performance only at the point in time that the sample was collected,
and then only if the sample was properly collected. Normally, field measurement for pH and
temperature of the production effluent should be measured in-situ. At the end of the sampling
period, the sample was sent to laboratory for analysis.

Objectives

To determine and analyst the concentration of the pollutant present in the source of industrial
wastewater in compliance to Environmental Quality (Industrial Effluent) Regulation, 2009
Standard “B” Requirement.

Terms and Definitions

a. Grab Sample- Grab sample are single samples collected at a specific spot at a site over a
short period of time (typically seconds or minutes).

b. Sampling- Obtaining a representative portion of water concerned

c. Sampling Point- A point of sampling that a representative sample of the water to e tested
is obtained.

Sampling Point(s) Name

Manhole Wastewater

Date of Sampling Date

22nd October 2021

Planning

90
Sampling point was selected by National Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH) based on the
existing sampling point. A few types of sampling plans are available depending on the type and
scope of project. In this project, wastewater grab sampling plan shall be used.

Preparation

Clean sample containers, preservative and covers are provided by laboratory. All electronic
equipment and batteries are checked to ensure proper operation. Field apparatus to monitor
physical parameters must be cleaned and calibrated.

Sample Collection

For this Project, grab sampling technic was used for sample collection. The sample was collected
directly from the water sources. The sample then was placed in an ice box (with ice bag) and
eventually the samples were transferred to laboratory for testing and analysis. A few parameters
were measured on-site according to following procedures and apparatus.

On- site apparatus

Field parameters measurement involved the use of specialized apparatus depending on the
parameters to be measured. The List of flied apparatus is as following:

a. pH meter

b. Polyethylene sampling container

c. Sampling tools

d. Ice box

Procedure of on-site measurement

a. pH value was measured by using portable pH meter. The measurement must be

performed immediately after the sample has been collected in the sample container.

91
Parameters and Method of Analysis

Effluent analysis might require wide variety of parameters determination. There is pH,
Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Suspended Solids, Ammoniacal
Nitrogen and Oil & Grease.
The parameters need to be determined will depend on the source of the effluent and purpose of
analysis.

In this project, there were six (6) parameters to be determined as prescribed in Environmental
Quality Act, 1974; Environmental Quality (Industrial Effluent) Regulation 2009; Parameters

WORKPLACE INSPECTION

On the 28th of January 2022 at 9.00am a work inspection around the compound was performed.

Person who performed the activity:

1. Ms. Nur Izzati Binti Azhari (Scheduled Waste Officer)

2. Huweida Mzee (Intern)

Findings:

 Mask
 Food
 Cigarettes
 Trash
 Soda bottles

Recommendation for littering:

Anti-litter Campaigns- Community programs and groups should be created with the aim of
running anti-litter campaigns.

Stop Littering Signs- Putting up signs is a very creative way of putting a stop to littering. 

Putting up Litter Bins- Proper measures must be taken by the relevant local authorities to
ensure more garbage bins are installed in various areas for effective garbage disposal.

Education- We also have to make people understand that it is quite easy to avoid littering and
thus contribute to protecting the environment.

Recycling of Waste- The waste of resources can be prevented by recycling, and it is possible to
reuse many things thrown in the garbage.
