    This document summarizes a report on hazards in welding work for platform fabrication. It identifies key physical, chemical, and electrical hazards including welding sparks, damaged insulation wires, hot welded parts, welding fumes and gases, and welding arc rays. It evaluates the likelihood and severity of hazards using a risk matrix. For critical safety hazards of welding sparks and hot parts, it recommends controls following the hierarchy of elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and PPE. Engineering controls proposed include welding curtains and freely movable hoods. For critical health hazards of welding fumes, it similarly recommends feasible controls at each level of the hierarchy, such as reducing current, cleaning surfaces, respirators, and training. It proposes a review

    Report of Hazards in the Welding Work for Platform

    Fabrication Section of Fabrication Industry


    MOHD FIKRY BIN ABD RAHMAN

    INDEX NO : NS11789
    IC : 900504095159

    Introduction

    Dynaciate Engineering Sdn Bhd Engineering and Fabrication

    company
    Dynaciates Hershey Eager project covered the piping and platform
    fabrication and installation work. They also do the equipment
    installation.
    Work environment :

    Exposure mainly to physical hazards such as, noisy work area, tripping hazards and etc
    Other than that

    Chemical hazards fumes and dust from welding work and etc.
    Electrical - electrocution

    Work Flowchart

    Objective
    Identify the safety and health hazards on welding for platform fabrication
    work.

    Evaluate and assessing the identified hazard.


    Suggest control measure and action to be taken that are suitable and
    practicable to be applied based on hierarchy of control.

    Propose a review system for continuous improvement of safety and


    health at the work place for all suggested control measure.

    Methodology
    There 4 method used to identify hazard:

    Observation and monitoring


    Workplace inspection
    Reviewing Job Safety Analysis (JSA)

    Interviewing

    Result and Discussion


    From the finding, there are 6 identified hazards (4 Safety Hazard and 2
    Health Hazard)

    Identified Safety Hazard :


    Hazards

    Welding sparks - (fire at workplace)


    Touching damaged insulation wire - (Electrocution)
    Hot welded part (Skin burn)
    Tangled wire on the floor - (Tripping)

    Identified Health Hazard :

    Hazards

    Welding fume and gases - (Lung Diseases)


    Direct welding arc ray (Damaged Retina)

    HIRARC for Critical Safety Hazard

    SAFETY HAZARD RECOMMENDATION


    Risk Control
    Elimination

    Recommendation :

    Substitution

    There is no possible way to eliminate welding sparks in those fabrication work when using SMAW
    type.
    No effective substitution available to recommend

    Engineering control

    Administrative control

    Personnel protective
    equipment

    Build the zinc guarding or cover welding area with the fire retardant curtain. This will help to
    isolate the welding area, and reduce the possibility of the nearest material ignited from the
    welding sparks. This is cheaper yet effective control measure. (refer Appendix 12)
    Fire extinguisher training. This will improve their skills in handling fire emergency event,
    and have adequate skill in fighting the fire at its initial stage.
    Fire extinguisher stand and signage. The stand will to hang the fire extinguisher, and
    signage will be put to locate the fire extinguisher easily. (Previously put on the ground)
    Fire drill training. Those can help minimize the fatality and injury during the real fire event by
    training the proper emergency procedure.
    Safe welding training. Increase the welders safety skills and knowledge in handling welding
    work.
    Fire awareness programme. Worker will be exposure about the danger of fire, and how it can
    be prevented from happening.
    Head strap welding face shield. Improve the current hand hold welding face shield
    Leather apron

    equipment

    Recommendation :
    There is no possible way to eliminate welding fume in those fabrication work when using SMAW type.
    No effective substitution available to recommend
    Good long term planning. Proposed using robotic welding for high scale, fast, and lesser workers
    involvement inhaling and expose to fumes. It will be practicable for high scale production in the
    future. (refer Appendix 12)
    A cheaper option is to have freely movable hoods or ducts are intended to be placed by the
    welder as near as practicable to the work being welded. (refer Appendix 12)
    Reduce the welding current to the lowest possible. By reducing the current, the fumes release are
    lesser. This can also prevent the burning the weld material, thus increase fumes release.
    Welding surfaces should be cleaned of any coating. The coating substance can cause toxic
    gasses. The current method of using grinding as the method of removing the coating can be replaced
    by using cleaning solvent. The recommended solvent is the water-based, environmental friendly
    coating removal (refer Appendix12). Using grinding to remove coating also cause the coating substance
    becoming dust and dangerous when inhale.
    Safe welding training. Increase the welders safety skills and knowledge in handling welding work.
    Health awareness programme. Do the health campaign, and keep the worker alert about the
    danger or welding fumes and how they can minimize the effect.
    Limit the worker exposure period. Have the schedule of work and rest time and proposed
    rotating of work. Make sure the worker no workers are forced to work beyond the exposure limit.
    Proposed annual medical surveillance to monitor workers health status. The result will reflect the

    effectiveness of the control measure

    Respirator, N95 mask. Effectively filter harmful particle range from 0.1 to 0.3 micron

    PROPOSED REVIEW PLAN PROGRAM

    To monitor effectiveness - Control measure must be review from time to time


    Most important the introduce CM must not hinder work process and introduce new hazards
    Effective of measure through :
    Site monitoring and observation
    Medical surveillance program
    Observation on PPE
    Observation on accident and incident records.
    Equipment maintenance maintenance the equipment used for CM Engineering control.
    Other review plan
    Continues workplace inspection Safety personnel
    Continuous interview session
    Review on the continuous training program
