Hazard and Effect Management Process (EPM No. 13.02.01): This process is designed to manage and control hazards effectively.
HSE Communication Process (EPM No. 13.02.04): This process ensures that all relevant hazard information is communicated throughout the organization.
Risk Assessment Team (RA): At each project site, office, and manufacturing unit, a dedicated Risk Assessment Team consisting of a line manager, execution expert, and HSE personnel conducts hazard identification and risk assessments. This team is responsible for identifying routine and non-routine activities and situations and assigning risk ratings based on a risk matrix.
The Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA)/Aspect Register is maintained at all locations, covering all potential risks of activities. Moreover, a Last-Minute Risk Assessment is conducted by the local site team before the commencement of any activity. The identified risks and control measures are communicated to the workforce through Toolbox Talks or HIRA talks |
