The three steps of risk assessment: ① identify the hazards of safety incidents → ② assess the risks → ③ control and manage the risks. When any activity is identified as carrying accident risk, the assessment frequency should be simplified to improve efficiency.
08Health & Safety Risk Assessment
Health & Safety Risk Assessment
Identifying hazards is an essential part of safety risk assessment. If the harms of safety accidents are not fully identified, it is impossible to assess the risk of each hazard or to control them effectively.
Safety risk assessment provides the baseline data for effective safety management, evaluates hazard points across environments and periods, and through educational, administrative, technical and supervisory measures makes every level of staff take safety seriously — so that most safety incidents can be avoided. It follows three steps: ① identify the hazards, ② assess the risks, ③ control and manage the risks.
- Hazardous materials: types of flammable/explosive materials, where and how many, and whether they are properly managed
- High-risk processes: work at height, high temperature, flammable operations and effectiveness of safety programmes
- Electrical safety: compliant installation, overloaded sockets, ageing wiring, anti-static measures, regular maintenance
- Housekeeping: accumulation of combustibles, misplaced materials, scaffolding stability
- Environmental hazards: immediate evacuation routes, ability to cut off power at once
- Alarm devices: availability and working condition
- Others: additional risks from contractors' tools and materials
09Labor Risk Assessment
Labor Risk Assessment
Labor risk assessment is an authoritative, professional and systematic employment-risk solution. Through software application it provides comprehensive legal risk assessment and diagnosis for employers. GTC assesses all processes and procedures in the enterprise's employment management, so the enterprise knows its labor risks in advance, quantifies their possible impact and loss, and receives reference solutions to solve problems proactively.
- Comprehensively identify potential employment risks
- Analyse shortcomings in employment operation
- Assess probability of occurrence and possible negative impact
- Determine priority and sequencing of risk resolution and control
- Recommend risk solutions and countermeasures
10Product Quality Risk Assessment
Product Quality Risk Assessment
Product quality risk refers to the possibility that product quality will be reduced or the product rejected by the customer due to various predictable or unexpected reasons. When certain defects have limited impact, or the impact costs less than delayed delivery and rework, a release decision arises in design review — this is product quality risk assessment.
- Effectively reduce company cost and resource waste
- Let designers focus on more urgent problems in development or production
- Eliminate unnecessary rework
- Involve technical, inspection and sales people so every problem is treated from the user's point of view
