11.0 ACCIDENT REPORTING PROCEDURE

The purpose of accident reporting procedure is to provide a certain type of action to be

taken by site personnel should any accident happened at their workplace. Besides that,
an accident reporting procedure also provides a systematic format or approached in
order to prepare an accident report.

The following is the chronological procedure which shall take place in case of accident
occur at site and before an accident report will be prepared or to relevant parties;

1. When an accident occurs at site, the witness of the incident or accident shall
immediately inform their supervisor. The Supervisor shall act immediately to send
the injured person to the nearest clinic or hospital and then notify the accident to
Project Manager or Safety and Health Officer (SHO). At the same time, SHO will
inform Committee Members to carry out investigation. Minor injury shall be treated

13
 PEKERJAAN PIASAU KONKERIT SDN BHD (33138-D)

12.0 ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE

The purpose of an accident investigation is to obtain accurate and full information about
the circumstances and the cause of the accident/incident. The ultimate objective is to
prevent accident recurrence in the future, and at the same time uncover new hazards at
site and advise adequate measure to contain or control them.

The accident shall be investigated as promptly as possible before any evidence is

removed or destroyed. An accident investigation is not design to find fault or blame
someone. It is an analysis to determine causes that can be controlled or eliminated.
Accident investigation is the first step towards preventing future injuries and financial
losses.

The focus of an accident investigation is to determine the root cause of the accident,
other causes that have affected the outcome, determine who was involved, and
whether these accidents could have been avoided.

The Site Supervisor is the best person to investigate the accident or near miss as they
are familiar with the site personnel, the work area, method of work and equipment
involved. In the event of an accident, the site supervisor can conduct the investigation
immediately. This is an important factor for good and practical investigation procedures.

The Site Safety and Health Officer shall conduct training to the site supervisors on
accident investigation procedure. Both parties shall co-operate in order to conduct
further investigation. The investigation report shall be submitted to the employer for
insurance claim and record purposes. The Safety and Health Officer shall collect all the
reports, analyze it and then report to the top management.

13.0 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION, RISK ASSESSMENT AND RISK CONTROL (HIRARC)

13.1 HIRARC REQUIREMENT

Occupational Health and Safety Legislation requires anyone in control of the
workplace to identify the potential hazard of the proposed work, assess the risks
involved and develop controls to eliminate, or minimize, the risk

a) Hazard Identification

Hazard identification is the process of identifying all situations or events that

could give rise to the potential for injury, illness or damage to plant or
property. Hazard identification should take into account how things are being

14
 PEKERJAAN PIASAU KONKERIT SDN BHD (33138-D)

done, where they are done and who is doing them, and should also consider
how many people are exposed to each hazard identified and for how long.

b) Risk Assessment

The risk associated with a hazard is a reflection of the likelihood that the
hazard will cause harm and the severity of that harm. The two elements of
risk, i.e. likelihood and severity, are independent of each other. The vast
majority of hazards are relatively straightforward and requiring only simple
method of risk rating. The method incorporates a judgment as to whether or
not a risk is tolerable.

c) Risk Control

Safety procedures and risk control measures are procedures and measures to
be put in place to reduce risk to a tolerable level. When deciding on safety
procedures and risk control measures, the list below should be considered, in
the order given. Safety procedures and risk control measures lower down the
list should only be used if it can be shown that using a procedure and / or
measures higher up the list is not reasonably practicable.
