The key words used in HSE risk assessment are defined below:
HAZARD - Source, situation, or act with a potential for harm in terms of human injury or ill health
or combination of these.
HARM - Includes death, injury, physical or mental ill health, damage to property or the
environment, loss of production or any combination of these.
ACCIDENT - An accident is an incident, which has given rise to injury, ill health or fatality.
INCIDENT - An incident adhere no injury, ill health, or fatality occurs may also be referred to a
"near-miss”, "near-hit", "close call" or "dangerous occurrence”.
RISK - Combination of the likelihood of an occurrence of a hazardous event or exposure(s) and
the severity of injury or ill health that can be caused by the event or exposure.
DANGER - A state in which there is exposure to a hazard; the opposite of safety (often used in
terms such as dangerous condition, danger area, danger zone, etc.).
SAFE: - A state in which exposure to hazards has been adequately controlled; the opposite of
dangerous (safe plant, safe system of work, etc.).
RISK MANAGEMENT - The process of analyzing the level of risk, considering those in danger,
and evaluating whether hazards are adequately controlled, considering any measures already in
place.
The methodology of risk assessment study is described and is briefly illustrated in the following
figure:
Risk assessment methods are used to decide on priorities and to set objectives for eliminating
hazards and reducing risks. Wherever possible, risk is eliminated through selection and design of
facilities, equipment and processes. If risk can’t be eliminated, then it is minimized by the use of
physical controls such as implementation of Work instructions, distribution of personal protective
equipment and training of employees. This methodology is illustrated in the following figure;
Note: PPE should be the last barrier to protect people when all other control options are
exhausted.
High-risk activities risk mitigation register/plan will be revised in Three month.
dangerous or less dangerous, developing a coherent overall prevention policy which covers
technology, work conditions etc. The work procedure is essential for accident prevention through
the analysis of risk through each phase of operation. Contractor will submit method statement in
accordance with the QCS 2014 requirements and contractual requirements for review and
approval of the Engineer. Prior to that, the MS will be reviewed and approved by Contractor
Quality Manager. As a general rule a method statement and shall be required for all work
packages. Method statement shall include a risk assessment, which identifies hazards
associated with the work and includes the mitigation measures, which will be followed to control
the hazards.
Method Statements should be prepared via the collaboration and feedback from all those
personnel directly undertaking the activity on Site. The Site Engineer / Project Engineer should
review and include additional information outside the scope of the workers - e.g. such as the
number of concrete mixers / pump trucks / delivery intervals - and then the QA/QC Department
and Safety Team should also review and comment prior to the document being submitted.
This is to ensure that MS meet the requirements of the task, is relevant and comprehensive and
ensure safe system of work implementation.
The primary purpose of a Method of Statements (MOS) is to help Engineers, Supervisors,
Workers and any other persons at the workplace to understand the requirements that have been
established to carry out the high risks work in a safe and healthy manner.
It shall address as a minimum the following:
Introduction/Scope
Location and identification of the work covered by the method statement
Permits and Licenses Required

Abnormal conditions: Unusual events that would not usually occur during day to day activities.
Emergency conditions: That the aspect would only occur in case of emergency situations –
e.g. release of toxic gas as a result of incidents such as explosions, fire etc.
All aspects that are legally regulated and those environmental aspects which are treated as
critical based on Project work order requirements are directly considered “Significant”.
For the rest of the aspects, the environmental impact assessment should be undertaken. One of
the methodologies that can be used for assessing environmental impacts is a Risk matrix and its
categorization table( see in the Appendix J ).
All aspects with an impact level of moderate or above are considered “significant” and shall be
subject to further assessment and control measures to mitigate the impact of the identified
aspects, control measures shall be identified to both mitigate an aspect’s negative impact(s)
and/or increase the positive effects of an aspect. All established control measures for the
identified aspects will be documented.

Reports near misses, unsafe acts/conditions observed at site and
cooperates in addressing HSE issues at site
The procedure (Appendix M) outlines the processes for responding to incidents when they occur and
ensuring that the necessary reporting is undertaken in a timely manner. Through effective
management of incidents, it is hoped that HSE awareness is increased and that future
reoccurrences of incidents are eliminated.
All near miss incidents are also required to be reported to HSE Officer/Site Engineers and
Frameworks/Project Manager. Notification shall also be informed to ASHGHAL within 24 hours
and investigated by the investigation team to prepare an Incident Investigation Report
Contractor openly encourage near miss/event reporting which is vital in creating a climate which
sustains communication and co-operation to rectify unsafe situations or conditions and therefore
preventing the situation or condition eventually causing harm.
The reporting of unsafe acts, conditions and safe behaviors can be done in two ways using
a. HSE Notification Report
b. HSE Observation Card
The said program will help the overall HSE Performance of the organization since it will show the
trends of observations that is occurring on real time basis and most especially, preventing actual
incidents that can result to injury or property damage.
The collapse of overturning of, or the failure of any load bearing part of mobile plant and
equipment’s.
Any unintentional incident in which plant or equipment comes into contact with or
Causes an electrical discharge by coming into near proximity of an overhead electrical line
Electrical short circuit or overload attended by fire or explosion or has the potential for death.
Collapse of any scaffoldings, any floor or wall being used as workplace, and any false works.
The investigator as a person or committee of two or more persons must be efficient. The
investigator is usually the person who is directly responsible for the area or the injured person
and has the most interest in solving the problem. Selection of the investigator on investigation
team depends on various factors such as type of incident and its loss potential.
Investigation of some incidents with high loss potential and nonconformity should be
conducted by an investigation team, but incidents with low loss potential can be conducted by
one investigator, for that, lost time/fatal and major incidents shall be investigated by a suitably
selected team from the company and FM/PM is the investigation Team Leader and will select
the investigation team.
A near miss or minor incidents must be investigated by HSE Officer.
INITIAL ACTIONS
HSE Officer shall take photographs (If possible) and accurate notes and sketches of the salient
points made at the earliest possible moment.
GATHERING INFORMATION
The investigator(s) should always look over the scene of the incident and surrounding
environment in order to get a mental picture that will allow him to determine what elements
are involved: i.e. people, equipment, materials and environment.
One of the most important aspects of incident investigation is speed. It is important and
even vital, to arrive at the scene of an incident before people have had time to change their
minds, as sometimes happens to cover up by concocted story of the injured colleague, and
to see the scene before anything is moved / altered.
Getting a statement of facts from witnesses is generally a difficult task and can be expected
to become more and more difficult as time elapses.
A good basic in investigation requires a look at the tools, equipment and materials that
people were using.
In order to determine the basic causes of incidents, the investigator should check
procedures, sketches, maps, photos, maintenance records, etc.
Photos of the incident scenes are very useful. They can reveal much about the incident and
save hours of note-taking and drawing
FACT ANALYSIS
Reaching conclusions and making recommendations need a strict analysis of the facts; the first
target of an investigation is to gather the facts about what caused the incident. The gathering of
facts is an operation to be conducted by the Project Team.
ACTIONS
After reaching to the conclusions and making recommendations, the Investigation Team has to
complete the Incident Report (CFW-QHSE-FMT-033) and identify the following:
Direct causes.
ROOTS causes.
Corrective actions: adequate controls (corrective actions) will minimize or eliminate the
problems.
Opportunities for corrective actions: adequate investigation will give a chance to identify the
cause and adopt corrective actions for re-occurrence.
Recommendations for continual improvement
COMMUNICATION OF RESULTS
When the investigation of significant or high risk incidents reveals a significant learning potential
the lessons learned should be communicated with corrective actions within through toolbox talks
and meetings
