The aforementioned websites were great places to learn about the safety and health of
manufacturing facilities.
I then went throughout the whole plant and talked to the management and workers about
health and safety concerns, their own ignorance of these issues, and their roles in them.
In order to determine if accidents occurred the previous year and whether they were
frequent, I also examined their past event and accident logbooks using techniques like the
Task Analysis Method and prior risk assessment reports. I also investigated if the
sickness had returned the causes for the sick leave, and the welfare of the workers. By
putting in place a working control system, a sensible budget, and a ﬂexible timetable, I
tried to cover as much area as I could, identify a range of risks and dangers, and lessen
some of the threats. In order to identify new controls, I also examined documents such as
Safety Audit Recommendations, Task Risk Assessments, Safety Inspection Checklists,
and Work-Crew Complaints Data. For instance, when discussing safety precautions for
handling chemicals. I cited statutory requirements like as

Moral, General legal and financial arguments for ALL actions
Moral, General legal and financial
arguments Moral:
Phlox Pharma has a moral obligation to give its workers a risk-free work environment so
they may carry out their responsibilities without worrying about getting hurt. An employee's
family will be impacted if they are hurt due to a danger on the employer's property. It is also
immoral if an employee dies as a result of a risk on the employer's property. Workers care
for their own families as well as the company's success. An employer has a moral
obligation to provide a safe workplace, safe tools, and safe equipment so that his workers
may work without worrying about getting hurt.
According to Convention C155 of the International Labour Organization, Phlox Pharma is
legally and morally required to protect its employees.
Legal:

If a business ignores the specific guidelines established by international organizations,
authorities may intervene to provide assistance. Usually, they receive a formal warning
before acting further. Disregarding these standards may result in personal harm and job
disruptions. Safety inspectors may also mandate that the business implement new safety
measures or make the necessary adjustments before allowing operations to continue. In
the event of a significant incident, the supervisory employee may be subject to legal action,
and the business's license may be suspended or cancelled. Companies are required to
protect the health and safety of their employees under the Safety and Health Convention
(C155) of the International Labor Organization.
Financial:
If an accident occurs in the employer's place of work, company will be responsible for
paying a number of accident-related expenses. The following are a few of the expenses:
● The company will cover all of the costs incurred by the injured worker, including lost
wages, prescription medication, and first aid; law enforcement may also impose
fines.
● The employer will cover any related expenses for replacing or repairing any
damaged equipment.
● The employer will cover all related expenses for the lawsuit.
● The employer will also cover all related expenses for product losses, overtime
compensation for claims related to targets, and accident investigation costs.
Justification for action 1

Action (Taken from column 4 of risk
assessment)
Create a one-way traffic system that allows vehicles to enter and exit in both directions.
(Hazard Category: Safe movement of people and vehicle)
Specific legal arguments Convention 1988 of International Labour Organization ILO (C167, Article 16) required that,
all vehicles and earth-moving or material-handling devices must be driven by personnel
who have received adequate training in accordance with applicable national laws and
regulations, and all applicable vehicle safety standards must be met, as well as the traffic
configuration on all sites must be clear and consistent with a stable work system.
The ILO code of practice ‘Safety of the Movements vehicles and Pedestrian gives specific
advice to appropriate control measures that an employer would take to shield his workers
from the danger found by a risk evaluation The International Labour Organization's code of
conduct on recording and notifying occupational incidents allows employers to report
significant workplace automobile accidents to our country's health and safety regulator.
Consideration of likelihood AND
severity
● types of injury or ill health
● number of workers at risk
● how often the activity is
carried out
● how widespread the risk is
The likelihood of road accident injuries high due to the lack of segregation on the roadways
used by workers and automobiles. Other than its paths and rules, visitors know little about
the plant. There was a serious risk of car-pedestrian collisions since there were no well-
marked, separated walkways and insufficient guidance. The collision might cause several
cuts, fractures, wounds, bruises, damage to the vehicle's structure or equipment, a
permanent disability, or even death. Current control measures are ineffective in preventing
injury.
I set the category when suggesting the severity in following way:
● 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 rating for this hazard is major because after road accidents and injuries due to
accidents that all required emergency hospital treatment and mostly in saviour accidents
deaths happen.
Types of injuries or ill health associated with this hazard includes; fractures, wounds,
bruises, structural, equipment, or vehicle damage, lifelong disability, and death
Thirteen visitors and twenty workers were working in parking area are at risk.
The activity is being carried out on daily basis. It means that it is a routine activity.
There is a great but not widespread risk associated with this hazard as there is a risk of
accidents that might result in structural, equipment, or vehicle damage in addition to
fractures, cuts, and bruising that could render a victim permanently incapacitated since
employee and vehicle pedestrian routes are not segregated. Workers and visitors who
access this area may get injuries.
How effective the action is likely to
be in controlling the risk. This should
include:
● the intended impact of the
action;
● justification for the timescale
that you indicated in your risk
assessment; and
There were more vehicle-to-vehicle incidents at crossings, collisions involving vehicles and
pedestrians, and a lower chance of accidents overall when one-way traffic systems allowed
cars to enter and depart in either direction. Because incoming traffic may be entirely halted
or rerouted, it also increases traffic flow. The expense of doing the activity will be less than
the cost of worker injuries.
I suggested one month finishing since I will discuss it with the finance manager and plant

● whether you think the action
will fully control the risk
manager before approving the budget. I want it to take as long as possible to finish.
This suggestion will effectively reduce collisions, collisions with other cars, and collisions
with pedestrians. This will reduce all injuries happen due to accidents by 85%.
assessment)
Water sprinklers ought to be installed throughout company to prevent the fire spread in
case of fire eruption (hazard category: Fire).
Specific legal arguments
International labour organisation (ILO) has established a recommendation on occupational
safety and health (R164) that supplements convention C155, article 26 required that; “the
employer shall take all appropriate measures to avoid the risk of fire, combat quickly and
efficiently any outbreak of fire, bring about a quick and safe evacuation of persons.
Company should arrange training program for the workers about fire hazards arrangement
so that they can be used fire related equipment in emergency situation.”
R175 - Safety and Health Recommendation, 1988 (No. 175) also required that; “every
employer to take all necessary preventive measures to protect workers from fire hazards.
Arrangements should be developed to protect workers from fire hazards so that any major
accident could not occur at workplace.”
severity
The likelihood of the injuries from the fire eruption is very high when chemical places near
action around are engaged in heated tasks like riveting. Property damage, hypoxia from
smoke inhalation, burns to the skin or organs, or disability might arise from this
circumstance. With the current measures in place, damage cannot be prevented.
For understanding severity levels see justification 1.

carried out
● how widespread the risk is The severity of the hazard is major due to the significant fire catchment potential of some
chemicals and the inadequacy of current health and safety measures. Workers may
experience fatal burns or severe burn injuries that require hospitalization.
Types of injuries or ill health associated with this hazard include; skin burn, organ burn,
suffocation due to smoke, disability.
Sixteen workers were working there who are risk.
The activity is being carried out four to five hours per week.
There is a widespread risk connected with activity because the items utilized in pharmacy
operations are places near burning actions. Because the departments of the organization
were not physically separated, the fire was able to spread across the whole building,
causing property and human damage.
include:
action;
assessment; and
Installing a water spraying system would stop the fire's overall progress and avert the
terrible disaster. As soon as smoke starts to develop, the sprinkler system will protect the
company from financial loss, drastically enhance the working environment, and reduce the
risk of catastrophic casualties.
I have given the water sprinkling system a one-month deadline since it will take time for the
finance manager to distribute funds and for top management to approve the project.

These actions will full control the risk of fire by 85% as water sprinkling system being
installed in the company areas.
assessment)
Regular maintenance of the rotational molding machine is essential to effectively control
vibration and ensure safe operation. (Hazard category: Vibration)
Specific legal arguments
Article 14 of ILO C148 - Working Environment (Air Pollution, Noise, and Vibration)
Convention, 1977 (No. 148) contains some obligations. The employer shall guarantee that
machines and installations are inspected and maintained on a regular basis for dangerous
substance emissions, dust, noise, and vibration. Workers must follow safety measures for
preventing, controlling, and protecting themselves from occupational threats such as air
pollution, noise, and vibration. To ensure occupational safety linked to air pollution, noise,
and vibration in the workplace, workers or their representatives should have the right to
make proposals, obtain information and training, and submit complaints with appropriate
organizations.
severity
carried out
● how widespread the risk is
The likelihood of injury to the worker is high the high-speed, violently vibrating melting
equipment is in operation because of poor upkeep. Numerous symptoms, such as high
blood pressure, hand-arm vibration syndrome, stress-related illnesses, circulation issues,
discomfort, and numbness in various body regions, might result from this. Workers are not
sufficiently protected against this danger by the control systems in place at the moment.
For severity categorization, check justification under action 1.
The severity level for this hazard is set to Major because prolonged exposure to vibration
causes major problems that require hospital treatment, such as circulation problems and
numbness of body parts.

Types of injuries include blood pressure, hand-arm vibration syndrome, stress condition
and circulation problems, as well as discomfort and numbness in body parts.
Fifteen workers were working there who are at risk.
The activity is being carried out on daily basis meaning that it is a routine activity.
There is a high and widespread risk associated with hazard because anybody who worked
there for an extended length of time experienced major health issues as a result of the
vibrations from the rotating melting process. Additionally, in addition to the worker utilizing
that equipment, it may affect other workers in the vicinity who also utilize that platform.
include:
action;
assessment; and
To ensure smooth operation and little vibration, the machine's vibration will be minimized
after repair. Productivity will rise as a result of better employee performance and helpful
criticism. Machine maintenance is crucial to extending a machine's life because it reduces
the chance and severity of accidents.
I've allocated two-week period. Given that the HSE Oﬃce and technical specialists will be
guiding the maintenance, this is the longest period that might be needed to complete the
work.
This control measure will minimize the risk by doing maintenance and reducing the
vibrating motion up to 90%, and the risk will also be reduced.

, 2025, will see an update to the risk assessment. Every
time there was an accident, near-accident, or incident, as well as each time there was a
change in the personnel, the machinery or equipment, or the actual site of the workplace, I
also ensured that the firm would be compelled to reassess its risk assessment.
How the risk assessment findings will
be communicated AND who you need
to tell
In a presentation about workplace dangers and their effects, I will present the results and all
the material to the management of the company and key staff. I'll go through all of the
negative effects and cost repercussions of the workplace hazards. Workers will be more
aware of the hazards if dangerous posters are made and placed strategically. In addition to
learning about all the results of the risk assessment, employees will attend a weekly mass
lecture where they will receive direction on how to work safely while taking care of
themselves and their coworkers.

How you will follow up on the risk
assessment to check that the actions
have been carried out
I will carry out a risk assessment follow-up after effectively communicating with all
stakeholders to make sure that all recommended control measures are put into place to
reduce the overall risk level. I will encourage everyone to think creatively by assigning them
signiﬁcant tasks to do. I'll set up a line of contact so that anyone may provide any pertinent
information. I'll start by sending them an email with the post-meeting agenda items. To get
the intended outcomes, I will then exhort them to come up with more project ideas and
create a comprehensive action plan. I will communicate all of these needs through the
proper channels and with strong management support in order to raise the response rate of
stakeholders. After I hear back on this development, I'll set up a factory visit to verify the
controls that have been put in place there. I'll keep track of accomplished chores in this
manner.
