Hazards, Risks and Controls Worksheet

Complete the following worksheet using our campus as an example.


List hazards you have observed in different areas of the school.
Describe the risks associated with each hazard.
Suggest ways that the risks associated with the hazard may be controlled.
Places to observe (no duplication, i.e. each group must observe an area different from other groups) may include computer rooms, the kitchens,
cafeteria, engineering laboratories, the library, the Lucas and Xavier Halls, engineering classrooms, the soccer field.
Hazard (problem)

Risk (harm)

Controls (solution)

anything that can lead to someone developing


an illness or being injured

the potential to cause harm to people or


property

Eliminate, change the equipment or materials,


change work methods, use personal
protection

Noise from machines (condenser and


blower)

Hearing loss
Stress
cardiovascular effect

Contact or generation of heat (furnace,


reactor and motor)

Explosion Hazards (overpressure in the


reactor and char collector)

Burns
Dehydration
Nausea and irritability
Headache
Heat exhaustion
Muscle cramps or weakness
Heat-induced dizziness and fainting
Heat stroke
Flying debris
Trauma and burns due to the force and
heat of the blast
Smoke inhalation
Psychological stress

Use of noise controlling devices such as


ear muffs or plugs
using sound absorptive materials in
walls and ceilings; using vibration
isolators and flexible connections.
Proper insulation and barrier around
the equipment
Use of heat resistant gloves

Installation of pressure indicator relief


valves

Contact with electricity (wiring


connections from power source to
controllers and equipment i.e. furnace,
blower, motor and refrigerant)

Mechanical hazard (trips from pathway


obstructions i.e. pipe connection from
blower to reactor and slips from wet
floor cause by leaks)

Air Emissions (stack gas from pyrolysis


and)

Burns from electrocution


Electrical faults may cause fire
Can be source of ignition in potentially
flammable or explosive atmosphere
In wet conditions, equipment can easily
become live and can make its
surrounding live.

Fractures
Bruises
Cuts

Eye irritation
Acute respiratory symptoms due to ash
exposure
Lungs and heart disease, cancer,
asthma attacks, and even death due to
particulate exposure.
Lung irritation with symptoms of cough,
phlegm, wheezing.

Proper insulation of wirings


Maintain all electrical installations in
good working order
Provide accessible and clearly
identified switch
Closure of electrical systems
Adequate supervision with those with
knowledge and experience.
Improve lighting levels to provide a
more even lighting level over all floor
areas
Use of suitable footwear with the
correct type of sole
Immediate cleaning of spillages
Installation of exhaust fans
use of face masks
