I started to check the information inside the refinery which I used in this risk assessment such as
internal database of the refinery, other risk assessments of the Refinery, records of the previous
accidents and inspection tours also I checked on the internet for other sources such as using ILO

that may be required. any action against to eliminate or reduce these hazards also I found some workers not using the
full Personal protective equipment (PPE) during working in the site.
So, I started to prepare and list the additional controls that will be required and added to this risk
assessment which also acceptable with the ILO standards.

Moral and financial arguments for ALL actions

Moral, general legal and financial arguments ABC Crude Oil Refinery knows morally that it’s their duty and their responsibility to care about all the people
not only the employees in the organisation but all People that have contact with the refinery such as (visitors)
from any harm by providing safe work place to all workers which motivate the workers to care about each
other's during work and improve the moral side of the employees also the organization tend to Provide all
welfare needed to the employees and workers such as (accommodations and Food) as they know it’s the way
for absence of diseases and keep all workers Physical and mental well-being.
Legally beside it’s legal requirement for the organisation to manage health and safety, ABC Refinery giving
great interest to follow all the international such as (ILO-C155) and national legal requirements as they want
to avoid any Prosecutions or any fines and penalties, also to avoid imprisonment which can be happened and
to keep all Employees feeling secure during working.
As the organization tending to increase their capacity to 160,000 BBL/day by 2024 so they giving a great
interest to financial side by making Contract with high reputation insurance company so that workers feel
secure and to provide business competitive edge also to keep the productivity to be maximized this can be
happened by reducing accident and sickness of the employees also to prevent and reduce the costs of
accidents and violations which divided in to direct costs and indirect costs.
Direct costs that can the insurance cover and it arising directly from the accident it such as:
 Sick leave payment.
 Compensation payment to the injured person.
 Medical expenses to the injured person such as (Hospitalization).
Indirect costs which the insurance doesn’t cover it and it arise indirectly as a result of the accident such as:
 Legal expenses such as (fines, penalties and lawyer’s fees).
 Loss of product and raw material.

workers working to much at height and using scaffolding continuously in the site.

Regards to the severity of that risk it’s divided in to 2 categories

1- Major: Meaning that the injury of the worker need hospitalization in case of bone fractur or
pelvis fracture.
2- Catastrophic: leads to fatality.
The severity of that risk in taken as Catastrophic as it’s very common the workers working in high

Specific legal arguments Regarding to international labour Organisation (ILO) Regulation C155 article 16 and C167 article 28
which shows that all workers should use the adequate personal protective equipment also in the
Code of practice for working in confined space recommend using Respiratory protection like Self-
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) while dealing in confined space activities as in the refinery
also while there is lacking in oxygen beside other personal protective equipment (PPE).The
organisation needs to be compliance with the law and Follow the ILO’s regulations to provide the
highest degree of safety for the workers who working at height, also regarding to Egyptian National
labour laws and its legalizations which shows the same points also it follows the ILO regulations
and the Code of practice of the working too.
Consideration of likelihood AND severity The likelihood that the workers facing lack of oxygen in the confined space is very likely as the
amount of oxygen can be (19.5% or less) as it happened due to rusting in the pipes or tanks or the
oxygen already displaced by another gas like nitrogen.
The severity of this risk is divided to divided in 2 Categories
 Major: the injury require hospitalisation in case of nausea and vomiting also in case of
coma.
 Catastrophic: leads to fatality (Death).
The severity of this risk will be considered between Major and catastrophic as it depends on the
reduction of the oxygen and the rescue team.
How effective the action is likely to be in
Using Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) will support people working in confined space

Specific legal arguments Regarding to international labour Organisation (ILO) C170 and the recommendation R177 for
dealing with chemical and hazardous also Regulation C155 and the recommendation (R164) also
which shows that all workers should use the adequate personal protective equipment also in the
Code of practice for working in recommend using the face mask in the presence of dust also while
there is lacking in oxygen beside other personal protective equipment (PPE).The organisation
needs to be compliance with the law and Follow the ILO’s regulations to provide the highest degree
of safety for the workers who working at height, also regarding to Egyptian National labour laws and
its legalizations which shows the same points also it follows the ILO regulations and the Code of
practice of the working too.
Consideration of likelihood AND severity The likelihood of inhalation of dust or presence of dust is very likely to be happened as the workers
are subjected to dust during doing their activities as the worker don’t use the Dust face mask.
The severity of this risk divided into 2 categories
 major: the injury need hospitalisation as presence of dust cause asthma, bronchitis or
emphysema.
 Catastrophic: lead to fatality (death) in case of subject to high amount of catalyst dust
containing carcinogenic substance which can cause tumours and destroy the worker lungs.
The severity could be major and catastrophic depends on the time subjected to the catalyst dust
without full face mask.
How effective the action is likely to be in
Provide dust face masks to the workers will provide them the highest degree of safety against
controlling the risk. This should include:
inhalation of dust and protect them from any illness due to inhalation of dust.
 the intended impact of the action; I put timescale for this action three months as it’s very important to choose the suitable full dust
 justification for the timescale that you face masks and to find the suitable supplier for them which compatible with the organisation
