IOSH MS

• Module: 3
• Topic: Controlling Risk
• Key learning:
➢ How do you reduce risk?
➢ How do you decide which risk control to use ?

1
Reduce risk
➢ Risk = Likelihood × Consequence

▪ Reduce the likelihood of the hazardous


event happening.
▪ Reducing the consequence of the hazardous
event.
▪ Reducing the both factors.
Remember: The level of risk left after we have introduced our control measures
is often referred to as residual risk.

Risk control Method

1. Elimination: The most effective method of risk control is to


completely eliminate the hazard.

8
Risk control Method

2. Reducing/Substitution: A hazard can be reduce by substituting


it with a less hazardous solution. ( The next preferred option is to
reduce the hazard )

9
Risk control Method

3. Engineering Control: This control measures rely on preventing


people from coming into contact with the hazard.
- Putting distance between people and the hazard.
- Enclosing the hazard

10
Risk control Method

4. Administrative Control: Administrative control are provide safe


system of work, Safe procedure, Permit to work and Safety rules.
These all detail how activities should be carried out to minimize to
risk.

11
Risk control Method

5. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): PPE only can save the


wearer. This is the least effective control measure.

12
❑ Before risk control think about the following question:

1. How many people need to control?


2. How reliant is the effectiveness of the risk control on
human behavior?
3. How much the risk control cost?
4. How much is going to reduce the risk by the selected
control measure?

➢ The risk control method must be ‘Reasonably Practicable”

➢ Reasonably Practicable means , in terms of time, effort , money


or will not inconvenience associate with the risk control
outweighs the benefits of the risk reduction.

13
Look at the picture
Take,
This is one of the busiest road in Bangladesh. The road damaged very
badly. Now, it needs to repair Immediately to prevent accident.
- Which control measure is Reasonably Practicable ?

14
➢ First of all we will try Elimination. ( By Closing the road)

❑ if we consider in terms of Reasonably Practicable .


- It’s very expensive.
- Approval is needed – this could be a lengthy process.
- It is inconvenient to road users and may increase risk
elsewhere by causing congestion on others route.

➢ Then we will try Substitution.( by reducing the cars speed at 10


mph.)

❑ if we consider in terms of Reasonably Practicable .


- It is inconvenient to road users and may cause congestion.
- Cars might not slow down.

15
➢ Then we will try Engineering control. ( by separation )

❑ if we consider in terms of Reasonably Practicable .


- It protects worker
- It is less expensive
- It is very simple to implementation.

❖ After balancing the cost in terms of time, effort, money or inconvenience the
third option would be “Reasonably Practicable”.
