ON-SITE SAFETY HAZARD AND RISK ASSESSMENT
ON-SITE SAFETY HAZARD AND RISK ASSESSMENT
Risk assessment is one of the most important activities in any construction project, as it will serve in minimizing any future risks that could affect the environment, assets and people.
AGENTIBUS CONSULTING firm has conducted a detailed risk assessment study for this particular grading project. Below are some details for the risk assessment process for the different site activities, as well as risk protection procedures that will be followed to minimize any risk that could happen in the site.
ACTIVITIES RISK ASSESSMENT
ACTIVITIES RISK ASSESSMENT
Risk assessment matrix helps in identify and prioritizing various risks by estimating the probability of occurrence and severity of impact if they occur. The following risk assessment matrix will help in measuring the size of risk and determining the appropriate controls to be used to minimize the risk.
Risk impacts degree were estimated based on the severity of the risk. High risk impact means the activity is hazardous and may expose the person to injury or occupational disease, and low risk impact means the activity is less hazardous and its impact could be a minor injury.
The probability of happening was estimated based on the experience in similar projects and previous research.
lastly, risk rating was estimated based on the following risk assessment grid, which is used by FFRP training materials which provides consistent way to compare hazards and risks.
RISK PREVENTION PROCEDURES
RISK PREVENTION PROCEDURES
As was highlighted in the previous chart, some controls will be installed in the site to prevent or minimize high risk activities, below is a list for all AGENTIBUS Consulting firm risk prevention procedure to insure safe environment for people. environment and assets.

ELECTRONIC GATES & EMERGENCY GATES
ELECTRONIC GATES & EMERGENCY GATES
The work site will be equipped with electric gate to check for permits before entering the site to make sure that only authorized people could enter the site. In addition, secondary emergency gate will be placed closer to the grading area to allow easy exit in case of emergency.
DUST CONTROL
DUST CONTROL
Dust will be controlled from spreading by watering the site as well as using stabilizer such as gravel or chemical stabilizer. Fencing the site could also help in partially preventing the dust from travelling to the area surrounding the construction site.
TRAFFIC CONTROL
TRAFFIC CONTROL
In order to control the traffic, different traffic control signs will be placed around the constriction area. In addition, a flag person will be controlling the movement around the site to prevent any collision with the heavy construction equipment.
