the work is my own is malpractice and can lead to NEBOSH imposing severe penalties (see the NEBOSH Malpractice Policy for further information).
Important note: You must refer to the document ‘Unit IG2: risk assessment – Guidance and information for learners and Learning Partners’ while
completing all parts of this assessment. Your Learning Partner should provide you with a copy, but it can also be downloaded from the relevant

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

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

As a result of the action, the risk of serious injury will be minimised to the greatest extent possible.

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
noxious or harmful impurities generated during work

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
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.

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
