Topic Comments
Name of organisation* Thatta Cement Company Limited
Site location* Karachi, Pakistan
Number of workers 700
Thatta Cement Company Limited is one of Pakistan's largest cement manufacturers, and
it is based in Karachi. White cement, wall coat, low alkali cement, sulfate-resistant
cement, and normal Portland cement are their main products. While I was there, I saw a
number of high-risk activities in action at the facility, including welding, working at heights,
crushing, mixing, milling, and drying. I also saw how the conveyer belt system operated.
General description of the organisation The plant was being operated on different heavy machinery like milling machines, mixers,
crushers, grinders, conveyer belt systems, packing machines, kilns and power generators.
Different kind of vehicles were also moving in the plant like loader truck and fork lifters. The
workers were working 24/7 and there were three rotating shift pattern of 8 hours. First shift is from
09:00 am to 05:00 pm, second shift is from 05:00 pm to 01:00 am and third shift from 01; 00 am to
09;00 am. The workers of the organization are young except some senior staff members

 sources of information consulted; their control measures and additional control measures.

https://www.hse.gov.uk/ASBESTOS/managing/types/index.htm
https://www.hse.gov.uk/toolbox/machinery/index.htm)
Then I had talked with the operators, technical staff and workers who were performing their jobs.
They had a wide experience about the workplace and arrangements and they identify the existing
control actions and short comings also during the conversation at the plant site. Moreover, the
HSE officer helped me a lot to complete the risk assessment. As I had also checked the records
of the accidents, incidents and near misses and find the major root cause of the accident. This
helped to know about the existing controls and what further actions are required to fully control
the risk. I had also checked the risk assessment of all the activities to check that existing controls
of the workplace to control the risk. Additional control measures would assign to control the risk
by checking the existing control actions. I also referred some of the HSE notes to decide on which
further control measures are required, like for fire safety

Moral, general legal and financial arguments for ALL actions


Moral, general legal and financial Moral; Thatta Cement Company Limited is morally responsible to safe their workers/employees
arguments from high risk present at their workplace. Thatta Cement Company Limited is morally
responsible for their development and implementation of safe system of work, training sessions and
method statement. It is also the moral duty of organization to provide necessary personal protective
equipment and installation of third party certified and safe machinery. These all duties are
necessary for making risk free environment and a positive healthy and safety culture. All employees
are in industry to carry livelihood and for some earning of money. The workers are the backbone of
any industry and they work for the will of their industry. They come to your place to earn some
wages for them and for their family also if any accident occurs to them the consequences their
family will also bear. So the organization must take some actions to provide them safe workplace.
Financial;
There are different reasons which force an organization to develop health and safety culture at
workplace. An organization may face following financial extensions due to failure in promoting
health and safety culture. So to avoid all of these kind of cost the employer must take necessary
actions so that the workers can be safe from getting injured.
 When an accident occurs and workers get injured the organization has to face the
expenditures of his treatment like first aid treatment and medical treatment.
 The premium insurance has to paid by the organization to the insurance companies will also
be enhanced over accident at workplace.
 When an accident or unwanted event occur it also destroys property of organization and
organization also has to bear the losses of his assets. Huge amount will require replacing
and repairing damaged building and installing machinery.

Learner number: Learner name: Page 10 of 16


 Organization would also pay large amount of sick pay, extra wages to the workers for
overtime to overcome losses.
 The organization may have to bear fines and criminal prosecution.
Legal;
International labour organization (ILO convention C155) has also put some legal duties on the
industries to protect their workers from high risk present at their workplace. It is the legal duty of
employer to develop safe system of work in his workplace. Implementation of legal codes and
practices are necessary for every organization. There are some rules of international bodies like
ILO that every employer should follow on his workplace, if he fails to follow these rules he would
face some legal actions by enforcement agencies. At first they give a legal notice to the industry ten
take further actions. They can stop the work, suggest some new control measures, fine them and
suggest a new process that has low risk for the workers. Overseeing chief can be imprisoned and
licence of the industry can also be cancelled.

I set the category when suggesting the severity in following way:
 how widespread the risk is
 Minimal: no injury or damage happened.
 Minor: injury happened requiring the first aid treatment and/or unimportant damage to the
equipment and machinery.
 Major: injury happened requiring the hospital treatment, requiring recovery time, and/or
important damage to equipment and machinery.
 Fatal: injuring which causing disability or death, and loss of equipment, machinery or
building
The severity associated with this hazard will be considered from the above mentioned table as
major because if the workers gets heat stroke, heat stress and dehydration they will require proper
hospital treatment
There are twenty workers working in this area in three shift daily and are at risk.
The boiler and waste heat recovery unit is in continuous operation in all three shift and workers in
all shifts are working on daily basis.

The risk is present in the boiler hall and affect workers only that are working in this area.
How effective the action is likely to be in Installation of the Local Exhaust Ventilation in the boiler hall will major impact on the temperature of

Specific legal arguments International labour organization has made many conventions and recommendation to provide safe
system of work to the workers of any organization. As mentioned below
It was necessary to comply with R175 – Safety, and Health in Construction
Recommendation, 1988 (No. 175). Employers are required to take reasonable precautions
to protect employees when they are working at heights, close to electrical wires, overhead
power lines, or other electrical equipment or apparatus and there is a possibility that they
could be shocked by electricity Article 14 of ILO C167 - Safety and Health in Construction
Convention, 1988 (No. 167) mandated that the necessary measures be taken to guarantee
that all working circumstances are secure and devoid of hazards to employees' health and
safety. Every workplace must have a secure way to enter and leave, which must be
offered, maintained, and, when necessary, signalled. All required precautions must be
taken to safeguard everyone present at or close to a building site from any potential
dangers. Employers are required to take safety measures to protect staff from "falling

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 to review the risk assessment after every 12 months so I suggested the
reasoning planned review date for risk assessment that would be April 25, 2024 I also made sure that the
company will must review its risk assessment due to the following reasons
 If there is any machinery change
 Number of workers change
 Plant location changes
 Process changes
 Policy changes
If there is any near miss, accident or incident
How the risk assessment findings will be After completing assessment I will conduct a meeting with plant manager and HSE manager to
communicated AND who you need to tell agree them on the recommendations and control measure that I have suggested in my risk
assessment task and I will give them all the findings of my risk assessment. All the findings of
meeting will be emailed with follow-up. Then the risk assessment findings will be communicated to
the workers by written report. The findings of risk assessment will be taken into account of tool box
where I will advise the workers that what type of actions to be taken. The finding will be
communicated through company intranet so that every employee can read and understand and
also will be displayed on notice boards in different areas. Actions and the summary of this
assessment will be communicated to the employees with their job descriptions.
How you will follow up on the risk I will set the reminders before the due date of each control measure. I will visit the workplace to
assessment to check that the actions check out the progress of each control measure and make a discussion with the supervisor and
have been carried out workers who are working on the placing of these control measures. I will also highlight the
international standards that should be followed to effectively control the risk at workplace. During
the visit of the workplace, if I found any negligence on the implementation of these control actions. I

would make a discussion with the supervisor to find the reason of this negligence. Then I will raise
this issue in front of the finance director and managing director to allocate budget and resources for
the implementation of this control action.
