The Attock Refinery Limited (ARL) is a Pakistani petroleum company which is a subsidiary of UK-
domiciled Attock Oil Company. It is active in crude oil refining in the country. The company is
based in Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan. This company was merged as a Private Limited Company
in November,1978 to take above the business of the Attock Oil Company (AOC). Later that this
company is converted int a Public limited Company in June, 1979. This Company is also listed in
the Central Depository Company of Pakistan Limited (CDC). In February 1922, when two small

two distillation units of 20,000 and 5,000 bpd capacity. The current nameplate capacity of ARL
stands at 53,400 bpd. When I visit the company I observed many activities they were crane lifting,
confined space, hot work, electrical activities and cleaning and maintenance in the refinery and
storage tanks. The work is divided into three shifts an each shift has 8 hours.

Outline how the risk assessment was Before performing my risk assessment I visited some websites and used my internet source to
carried out this should include: identify the Hazards and their suitable control measures, these internet sources are as following
 sources of information consulted; • (https://www.hse.gov.uk/coshh/industry/engineering.htm ),
To get the more information I study some major codes and practices International Labour
 who you spoke to; and
Organization (ILO) and visited some more sites which are given below:

 the hazards; • https://www.iso.org/safework/areasofwork/hazadous-work/lang--en/index.htm
 what is already being done; and
 Any additional controls/actions I cleared my all concepts about the Hazards and their control measures from the book of NEBOSH
that may be required. IGE-2 (Controlling Workplace Hazards). It is also one of the main source of my information
regarding Hazards and their control measures.
I talked with the HSE Supervisor, Production Manager, finance manager, Shift manager who is
present their and involved in day by day activites. They cooperated with me and informed me
about the hazards present there and their control measures. I also talked with shift managers, shift
operators, Guards present there, Upper Line management employees like Recruitment Officers,
Area Managers, CEO of organization, Mechanical Department staff, Engineering Staff and all other
responsible persons.
They give me very beneficial data about the hazards which they face there .
I requested to see company’s official documents and they allowed me to see these official
documents i.e.

Previous Risk assessments, Production loss records, Loss-time injury (LTI),ill health records,
previous incident and maintenance records, staff turnover rate, accident record of past year,
worker’s complaints, work to permits, Save Man Working Hours, training patterns, explosion
records and previous surveys and inspections.
After this I observed that the suggested things are Pressure transmitter(PT) to be provided to

Suggested word counts

Moral and financial arguments for all actions: 300 to 350 words
For EACH action:
Specific legal arguments: 100 to 150 words
Likelihood AND severity: 75 to 150 words
How effective the action is likely to be in controlling the risk: 100 to 150 words

Moral and financial arguments for ALL actions

Morality is the trait is the trait that is often expected from the employers, as it is their moral obligation or duty
Moral, general legal and financial to provide safe system of work for their employees. working in a safe environment improve the morale of the
arguments workers eventually resulting in better productivity and also develop a good reputation of the organisation in
the market.
There are two major factors that define safe system of operations in any organisation, one of them is the peer
pressure that if negative, will discourage the workers to follow safe working rules set by the organisation and
it can also be positive which encourage the workers to do their best by following the norms or set of rules
developed by the organisation itself. The other thing is culture that directly relates to the peer pressure, if the
peer pressure is negative it indicates a negative safety culture in the organisation and if it is positive it
indicates a positive culture.
Positive culture is very helpful for any organisation as it is main factor in developing safe system of work as it
encourages workers to follow company’s norms by developing a positive peer pressure onto the workers and
it also boost company’s reputation in the market.

Financial
If we talk about finance it is one of the most important departments of any organisation as it will be required
for its growth. There is a direct relation between finance and health and safety as accident can be very costly
for any organisation so they need to take safety measure that will not cost them much money as an accident

Learner number: Learner name: Page 11 of 16

 going to cost them. One the major factor that going to be costly for the organisations are insurances some of
these insurances are as ill-health or other problems, such as: Employers’ liability, Public liability, Motor
vehicle.
General legal
There are some rules and safety standards that are set by accredited bodies and if they do not follow these
rules it can be very costly for the organisations need to follow, these are set by accredited bodies as they
have to face court for these accidents, incidents or they will be fined and in other cases they will lose their
certification that is also very costly as it is going to cost money to re-obtain these certificates as they are the
legal requirement of every organisation to obtain these certificates. So every organisation need to follow
safety rules and standards as they are going to cost money at first but saves you a lot after.

Justification for action 1

Develop and plan lifting operational plan LOP for lifting operations (hazard category Load Handling
Action Equipment)
Specific legal arguments Article 13 of ILO C155 - Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 says,
“A worker who has removed himself from a work situation which he has reasonable justification to believe
presents an imminent and serious
danger to his life or health shall be protected from undue consequences in accordance with national
conditions and practice.”

C167 – Occupational Safety and Health Convention 1988; It states that;

Article 10 states that “National laws or regulations shall provide that workers shall have the right and the duty
at any workplace to participate in ensuring safe working conditions to the extent of their control over the
equipment and methods of work and to express views on the working procedures adopted as they may affect
safety and health”
Article 16 states that
“All vehicles and earth-moving or materials-handling equipment shall-
(a) be of good design and construction taking into account as far as possible ergonomic principles;
(b) be maintained in good working order;
(c) be properly used”;

Consideration of likelihood AND severity The likelihood of the hazard is high as the mobile crane was lifting material without barricading the site
anybody can get hurt by passing under the suspended load. No riggers were being used that is dangerous for
the equipment and material. Angle charts were ignored that could lead to overturning of the crane.
The severity is also high as fall of load on a person resulting in broken bones, damage to body parts under
the heavy load even death can happen.
How effective the action is likely to be in This control measures will surely reduce the hazard associated with load lifting as required planning for the
controlling the risk. This should include: betterment of the load handling. Use of outriggers, load angle charts will reduce the risk associated with the
load handling.

control the risk.

Justification for action 2

Pressure transmitter(PT) to be provided to check the pressure inside the pipeline (Hazard category Fire)
Action
As ILO convention C167 stats about fire precaution states that
Specific legal arguments
Article 29 fire preventions:
‘’The employer shall take all appropriate measures to avoid the risk of fire, combat quickly and efficiently
any outbreak of fire bring about a quick and safe evacuation of persons’’

The Pakistan factories Act,1934 states that:

The Provincial Government may make rules prescribing in respect of any factory, or class or description of
factories, the means of escape to be provided in case of fire and the nature and amount of fire fighting
apparatus to be provided and maintained.

UK regulations of work environment says that:

‘’It is obligatory for the employer to provide safe equipment and safe system of work’’.
The likelihood is pretty much high as there is good amount of crude oil present at the pipe headers, crude oil
Consideration of Likelihood AND severity coming straight from the wells. There can be some leakage in the pipe headers due to malfunctioning of
pressure safety valves present inside for the purpose of controlling the flow of crude oil.
The severity of this hazard is very high as this could lead to explosion or fire resulting in burn injuries, spread

 of fire, property damage, fatalities.

How effective the action is likely to be in This control measures, the installation of pressure transmitter going to be very helpful in controlling this
controlling the risk. This should include: hazard as it will inform on time the workers and inspections teams that the pressure in the pipeline is not
constant that will lead to two conditions either the pressure is low due to leakage in the pipeline or it can be
 the intended impact of the action; very much high due to some valves problem in this way they will find out the solution of this in time.
 justification for the timescale that you
indicated in your risk assessment; The time I allocated for this action is 1 month as it will take time first for the approval from the finance
and department as certain purchases will be done and also for the installation so It will take time.
 Whether you think the action will fully
This action will surely control the risk to a great extent and will be beneficial for the worker’s health and

Justification for action 3

Provision of fixed or portable gas detectors must be provided to the workers (hazard category
Action
hazardous substances)
Specific legal arguments According to The ILO’s Convention C155 and Recommendation (R164)
It says that “require employers to make sure that processes are reasonably safe. The ILO code of practice
(Cop) ‘Safety in the use of chemicals at work’ gives specific advice on the appropriate measures that
employers must make to protect workers against the risks identified by an assessment of risk.”
C115 – Occupational Safety and Health Convention 1981; It states that;
“adequate precautions shall be taken to secure adequate ventilation at every workplace so as to maintain
atmosphere to fit for respiration and minimize fumes, gases, vapours, dust or other impurities to minimum
level which are not dangerous or injurious to health and are in limits laid down by national laws of
regulations”.
There was some error due to which workers needed to work on oil and gas wells, the work was conducted
Consideration of likelihood AND severity without permit to work(PTW), there was no hole watcher present at the site, there can be hydrogen sulphide
present at the well that could be very dangerous and fatal that indicates high likelihood.

The severity is pretty much high as it results in eye and respiratory irritation (including coughing, difficulty
breathing, accumulation of fluid in the lungs), headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, staggering and
excitability. In high concentration cases it may cause death rapidly
How effective the action is likely to be in By providing the provision of portable or fixed gas detection devices, it will be ve3ry much beneficial for the
controlling the risk. This should include: workers, as they will remain aware of the concentration of hazardous gas, so proper steps can be taken on

Part 4: Review, communicate and check

Suggested word counts for each section:
 Planned review date or period and reasoning for this: 50 - 100 words
 How the risk assessment findings will be communicated and who needs to know the information: 100 - 150 words
 Follow up on the risk assessment: 100 - 150 words.

Planned review date/period with The legal timescale for review of this risk assessment is 6 months, so that it can be reviewed two times in a
reasoning single year. There is one more condition that this risk assessment can also be reviewed in case of any
natural disaster, accident or by change of process. Keeping in mind the time period I have decided the date
will be 6th november, 2021.
How the risk assessment findings will be First of all meeting will be conducted to communicate the findings of this risk assessment, senior
communicated AND who you need to tell management of the organisation including HSE representatives, Area supervisors, shift managers and
finance manager will be invited and these findings will be communicated with them as most of them are
involved in day to day activities and know what worker’s required for their sasfety. With these authorities we
will decide what actions will be taken and on what time frame. After deciding the actions I sent a copy of
these actions to the board of directors to keep them informed about the actions that are going to be taken
and are important. After communicating with the higher authorities I will communicate with the workers as
they are involved in day to day activities through notice boards, intranet services, toolbox talks, memos, e-
mails, posters and through signage.

How you will follow up on the risk After meeting with the senior management of the organisation, together we will set a timeframe for the
assessment to check that the actions completion of these tasks, work will be divided into small portion to keep a check on them and their progress.
have been carried out The copies of these actions or tasks will be communicated within the organisation from the top to bottom. I
will set a time of 1 week after that I will visit the site to check on progress. After every one week a physical

Learner number: Learner name: Page 15 of 16

 inspection onto the progress of these control measures will be done. And if there is some issue or problem
due to which the progress is stopped, I will try to resolve this issue by talking with the respective departments
and those who are responsible. If still the situation is out of hands then I will inform the board of directors
whom I have already informed about the actions that I suggested earlier through e-mails and I will request
their assistance in these matters to be resolved.
