Dear Dipil
I need more clarification for the above subject. I here by attached a risk assessment of the "grinding" activity. Already we mentioned in the RA, the control measures in order to prevent the hazards, but some times people they will think this is a small job so no need to required the PPE and after they got injury. In such situation, human element is also considered and the OHSAS says that;
“Human Element” in risk assessment : OHSAS 18001
OH & S hazards are not limited to faulty equipment and hazardous materials. They also involve the human element – how people behave and why they behave as they do.
Reference OHSAS:18001 section 4.3.1 : necessitates human behavior, capabilities and other human factors be taken into account during hazard identification / risk assessment
OHSAS suggests that when considering hazard identification, one should consider à
The nature of job (work place layout, operator information, work load, physical work, work patterns)
The environment (heat, lighting, noise, air quality)
Human behavior (temperament, habits, attitudes)
Physical capabilities (cognition, attention)
Physiological capabilities (biomechanical, anthropometrics / physical variation of people)
Considering these factors, and their interactions, can help determine human element and appropriate controls to be put in place.
