Additionally, I did one-on-one interviews with the employees to find out more about their level of
proficiency as well as the H&S policies in place and how frequently they were utilized. A clean
and pollution-free environment is maintained at the company's manufacturing facilities through
the use of a Solvent Recovery Plant that recycles used solvent, a Xylene recovery system to
ensure the safety of the work environment, and routine safety training programs that are
organized for all staff members, factory workers, and vendors.
At every stage, strict safety regulations for PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) and work
procedures are enforced.

Apart from that, I checked company records such as loss time injury, sick pay records, audit
reports, mission statements, working man hours, investigations and inspection records, financial
statistics, and HSE reports to see where the company falls short in providing a safe working

Moral, general legal and financial arguments for ALL actions


Moral:
Moral, general legal and financial
arguments
To ensure that its workers may go home in the same condition they arrived in, Nippon Paint
(Pakistan) (Pvt) Ltd owes them a safe working environment. The company's reputation and moral
position in the marketplace depend on it. One of the duties of the business is to inform and
educate the workers about any risks and hazards related to performing job operations. Employee
morale will be worse as a result of non-compliance with H&S safety requirements, and customers
will be given a bad impression of the company.
Nippon Paint (Pakistan) (Pvt) Ltd is required by law to protect its workers under the International
Labour Organization's Safety and Health Convention (C155).

Legal:

Legal repercussions include the possibility that the company may receive a restriction, in which
case it will be required to stop all work on a particular project or until the improvement is finished
within a predetermined period of time. Workers who were injured due to workplace health and
safety violations may be eligible to file civil claims against the organization. Workers who have
suffered harm as a result of an organization's disregard for workplace health and safety may bring
civil claims against the company. Some of these claims might be made several years after the
employee last worked there. In civil claims, a sizable amount of compensation is likely to be due.

Learner number: 00489102 Learner name: Inaam Ullah Page 12 of 18


Financial:

The business will suffer both direct and indirect financial repercussions if health and safety
regulations are not followed in compliance with the relevant laws. The employer is responsible for
covering an employee's medical expenses, sick leave, family compensation, legal fees, and civil
claims in the event of an accident or incident at work. The company will eventually incur costs as a
result, including lost time injuries, lost working hours, high insurance premiums, training costs,
hiring costs, replacement costs for damaged machinery and equipment, loss of raw materials,
decreased production levels, high turnover rates, low market face values, and costs associated with
investigation and inspection. The costs involved with the government's legal enforcement actions.

assessment)

Specific legal arguments Article 6 of the ILO C119 - Guarding of Machinery Convention, 1963 (No. 119) required that the
use of machinery, any harmful part of which, including the point of operation, is prohibited by
national laws or regulations, or prevented by other equally effective measures, and it also required
that where this prohibition cannot fully apply without preventing the use of the machinery, it shall
apply to the extent that the use of the machinery permits. Machinery must be guarded in such a
way that national regulations and occupational safety and hygiene standards are not violated.
According to Oman labour law, no worker shall use any machinery unless the guards provided are
in place, and no worker shall be required to use any machinery unless the guards provided are in
place. No worker shall render the guards provided inoperative, nor shall such guards be rendered
inoperative on any machinery to be used by any worker.

 how often the activity is carried out
 how widespread the risk is
When recommending the severity, I have specified the category as follows:

 Minimal: There was no harm or damage.


 Minor: An injury occurred that required first aid care and/or unimportant equipment and
machinery damage.
 Major: An injury occurred that necessitated hospitalisation, required time to recuperate
from, or resulted in significant equipment and machinery damage.
 Fatal: Injuries that result in permanent disability or death, as well as damage to buildings,
machinery, or equipment.

The severity rating for this hazard is set to major because if the worker faces any incident in this
aspect, it will cause them cutting, bruises, and bone dislocation, as well as disabilities and the
worker's injury is likely to necessitate hospitalisation. In severe cases, it can also cause death.

Types of injuries or ill health associated with this hazard includes: cutting blades in cutting
machinery can cut or harm an employee's body parts, especially their fingers, hands, and arms.

Five workers were working in mixing section who are at risk.


The activity is carried out 4 hours per day, it is a routine activity.

The risk associated with this hazard is extremely high and widespread because employee body
parts, notably their fingers, hands, and arms, may be hurt or damaged by cutting blades in cutting
machinery.

Specific legal arguments Article 6 of the ILO C170 - Chemicals Convention, 1990 (No. 170) required that where a worker is
liable to be exposed to any chemical, physical, or biological hazard to such an extent that it is
hazardous to health, appropriate preventive measures be taken. Article 13 of the ILO C167 - Safety
and Health in Construction Convention, 1988 (No. 167) required that workers be provided with a
clean and healthy working environment. Oman labour law also required that arrangements be
made to remove or render harmless, to the greatest extent possible, fumes, dust, and any other

The severity rating for this hazard is Major, and the worker's illness is likely to necessitate
hospitalisation if he get expose to any dust and fumes of chemical which can cause them skin, eyes
damage as well as lung problems.

Types of injuries or ill health associated with this hazard includes; Cardiac arrest, Electric burns,
Muscle tissue damage, Neurological effects and Nervous system damage.
Ten workers were working there who are at risk.
The activity is being carried out 6 hours per day as it is a routine activity.
There is a high risk associated with this hazard because of the presence of damaged electric cables

assessment)

Specific legal arguments Article 29 of the ILO C167 - Safety and Health in Construction Convention, 1988 (No. 167) stated
that "Employers are responsible for taking preventive steps to prevent fires in the workplace."
Employers must also conduct and maintain a fire safety risk assessment. This method is
comparable to health and safety risk assessments and can be used as a stand-alone exercise or as
part of a larger risk assessment. Your risk assessment should identify what could start a fire, such as
sources of ignition (heat or sparks) and flammable substances, as well as people who could be in
danger, to help prevent fires in the workplace. Oman's labour law imposes many requirements on

Learner number: 00489102 Learner name: Inaam Ullah Page 16 of 18


employers, including the requirement that there be a mechanism to raise the alarm and notify
employees of impending emergencies, such as fire.

 how often the activity is carried out Workers who smoke, as well as other workers, may be harmed, and current controls are ineffective
 how widespread the risk is in preventing injury.

For the severity category, please see justification 1.

The severity rating for this hazard is set as Major because if any employee injure it will require
proper hospital treatment e.g., burn and injuries.
Types of injuries or ill health associated with this hazard includes: burn injuries, physical problems
and sometimes death.
Three welders and Nine workers were working there who are at risk.
The activity is being carried out on daily basis, so it is said to be routine activity.
The risk associated with this hazard is high because close to flammable material, where sparks
from the certain process could meet the substance and generate a fire hazard that would affect
everyone in that area.

How effective the action is likely to be in The installation of smoke and heat detectors in various zones of the plant will reduce the risk of

Part 4: Review, communicate and check


Suggested word counts for each section:
 Planned review date or period and reasoning for this: 50 - 100 words
 How the risk assessment findings will be communicated and who needs to know the information: 100 - 150 words
 Follow up on the risk assessment: 100 - 150 words.
Planned review date/period with The company has a policy of reviewing its risk assessment report after every 12 months. The
reasoning company risk assessment report will be assessed on May 25th, 2024. It can also be evaluated prior
to the scheduled date in the event of an accident, the introduction of new technology, or on the
request of the company owner.
How the risk assessment findings will be In a meeting, the General Manager, Project Manager, Site Supervisor, and HSE Officer will be
communicated AND who you need to informed of the risk assessment's findings. Charts, pie graphs, and accident statistics will be used to
tell illustrate dangers and related hazards. I'll also discuss how using control methods can lower risk.
Following the conversation with higher-ups, the conclusions will be shared with all staff via
trainings, awareness workshops, and the execution of TBT before high-risk activity. The report will
be forwarded to all of the organization's accountable individuals, and the key findings will be
placed on all of the company's bulletin boards. I'll finish by publishing the risk assessment report to
the business website.
