1. INTRODUCTION
CHRA
The Occupational Safety and Health (Use and Standards of Exposure of Chemicals
Hazardous to Health) Regulations 2000, or in short, referred to as the USECHH
Regulations, requires the employer of any place of work where chemicals hazardous to
health are used to conduct a chemical health risk assessment (CHRA) at the workplace.
The objectives of the assessment is to enable employer to make decisions on the
appropriate control measures to be taken, induction and training of employees,
monitoring and health surveillance activities as may be required to protect the health of
employees who may be exposed to hazardous chemicals at the workplace.
WORKPLACE SELECTED
The workplace selected in this assessment is on Head Office of PT. PP (Persero) Tbk.
This building is located in TB. Simatupang Street No.57, Pasar Rebo, East Jakarta.

(Y/N/NA)
(a) Adoption of safe work systems and
practice (please specify)
1. Written procedure for mixing solvent of NA A written procedure on mixing solvent should be available, and
Pigment and Thinner. visible at sight (should be placed at vector control storage / workers
job description file). The procedure should include the safety
precaution on handling chemicals, and justify PPE suitable to be
used in such condition of work.

3. Hazard sign N There is no hazard sign at the storage. Hazard sign based on every
chemical used and others hazard sign that is related must be
placed.
4. Regular cleaning N Regular cleaning and spillage kit based on the SDS provided must
be done regularly at the storage.
5. Chemical container disposal N All paint empty bottle should be disposed safely, not through
general waste. A policy or written procedure and training on safe
disposal need to be establish.
(b) Providing information, instruction and
training to workers (please specify)
2. Safety Data Sheet (SDS) N Safety data sheet in not placed at the chemical present. A copy of
SDS should be made available.
3. Training by chemical supplier. Y Training by the chemical supplier is already done in year 2018.
Refreshing course should be planned annually.
4. Training on personal safety Y Training on personal safety such as PPE, chemical hazard and
precaution taken for particular risk identified during working, and
reporting procedure on incident is adequately given by the
employer.

5. First aid kit First aid kit must be inspected regularly. Some of the equipment /
N medicine has an expire date. Most of the material contained in the
first aid kit is already expired during the assessment.
(c) Personal hygiene (please specify)
2. No food and drinks allowed policy at N Signage should be placed at storage to ensure and alerted the
workplace. workers not to bring any food or drinks. Supervisor need to make
sure the work unit is free from food and drinks.

Form D3: Emergency Response Preparedness
Adequacy
Emergency Response Preparedness Recommendations
(Y/N/NA)
There is no Emergency Response Plan (ERP) for the building
developed during assessment. Therefore, ERP should be
developed. A general emergency response of medical team
should be available, where as included in the emergency
(a) Emergency response preparedness N response plan for the building. This is to prepare for unexpected
events rising from the activity involved such as fire, acute
poisoning (through inhalation or ingestion) or any other adverse
events related not only to this activity, but to the whole workplace
involved.
Training should be conduct based on hazard in SDS, chemical
by chemical. As the hazard is stated in the SDS, any training
(other than chemical handling provided by the supplier) should
(b) Training of Emergency Response Team N be conduct, and a Person-In-Charge (PIC) of emergency
response in the team of work unit selected should be made
available. Since the work unit mainly done in the field, PIC trained
should be the person involved with the activities.
Fire-fighting equipment includes installation of equipment as
required in Fire Services Act 1988. Example of this equipment is
(c) Fire-fighting equipment N smoke detector, exit light, emergency light, and fire alarm. The
storage is lack of fire fighting equipment. Only fire extinguisher is
available as fire fighting equipment during the assessment.

Form D5: Specific Action to be taken
17
5. CONCLUSION
CHRA conducted on the work unit are not full report as shown in the guidelines, as this
report is for study purpose only. As shown in Form A, work unit assessed in this report
is for painting activities. During the assessment done, student can identify the hazard,
and developed risk matrix on chemical hazardous to health (CHTH). After that, assessor
should recommend the remedial action and long terms plan for lowering the risk of
CHTH to the workers involved.
Form B is used to list the CHTH involved in the work unit. Form B1 is for chemicals that
used in the work unit. Form B2 is the list of chemicals released by the process of work
activities. In this assessment, Chemicals have been identified. To fill Form B1, data from
chemical register and safety data sheet (SDS) is needed. The data obtain then transferred
to the form. Route of exposure to the CHTH then were determined based on data obtained.
To fill Form B2, the level of hazard should be determined from substances mixed in the
activities. Hazard determination in Form B2 is vary from Form B1 since the chemical is
mixed. Depends by its ratio of concentration, and the value of lethal dose and lethal
concentration of the chemical, a new hazard classification can be determined.
Form C is based on work unit assessment. Form C is divided into two parts of assessment
which is inhalation and dermal. Assessment for ingestion is not perform since the risk of
ingestion should be low, because of implementation of technical and organizational control
on the work place. Form C1 is focused on inhalation exposure assessment. In this
assessment, data obtained from Form B should be analyzed to obtain the variable in the
table. The whole process in filling the Form C1 is to determine the risk rating of inhalation.
Industry Code of Practice on Chemical Classification and Hazard Communication (2014)
should be used as tools in determining the variables in the table. Form C2 is a dermal
assessment form. To determine the dermal level of risk, data from the activities involving
CHTH should be obtained. In this form, the level of dermal risk would be classified by low,
moderate and high. Although, moderate and high level of risk has the extension of level
which indicate the level is higher than normal, which is M2 and H2. Result from the
18
assessment determine that risk rating for inhalation is range from 4 to 12. Chemicals
used in the painting activities is ranged from low risk level to moderate risk level of
inhalation. For dermal, the level of risk obtained from Form C2 is ranged from low to
High 2 (H2) depends on the task done.
Form D is used to identify existing control measures in the work unit. Then, assessor
should recommend corrective action or improvements of existing control measures.
Form D contain 5 parts of forms. Form D1 is focus on technical control. Technical
control assessed are isolation or enclosure, engineering control and personal protective
equipment (PPE). Existing technical control measures then will be specified on
adequacy of implementation, and recommendations then suggested. Action priority (AP)
would be determined, to indicate the priority of corrective and improvements on control
measures based on risk level and existing control adequacy. In this assessment, mixing
paint score is 2, which has moderate risk but inadequate controls. Painting in the other
hand scored 3, high risked but adequately controlled.
19
cholinesterase level in blood by taking blood samples, and medical surveillance will
identify any changes to health of workers, due to exposed to chemical hazardous to
health.
Finally, Form D5 is focusing on specific action need to be taken to the specific CHTH
used in work unit. Assessment findings is more on storage, handling and disposing of
chemicals and chemicals containers. All factor contributing to risk not only to workers,
but to the environment also need to be included. Overall, the work place and work unit
still have rooms for improvements. All non-conformance in existing control measures
taken should be taken corrective action. All recommendations suggested should be
taken in account of safety for the workers. Employers also need to take account of
regulations and law involved in CHTH handling, and to make sure it is complied.
