risk assessment report during commissioning of air comressor
1. Preliminary Information
2. Hazard Identification
3. Risk Analysis
- Review each hazard identified in previous steps.
- Assign a likelihood rating (e.g., rare, unlikely, possible, likely, almost certain).
- Consider factors such as frequency of operation and historical data.
- Document the rationale behind each likelihood rating.
- Analyze what could happen if each hazard were to occur.
- Consider various outcomes including injuries, damages, and operational interruptions.
- Use a scale (e.g., negligible, minor, moderate, severe, catastrophic) for consequences.
- Document the reasoning for each consequence rating.
- Combine likelihood and consequence ratings to assess overall risk level.
- Use a risk matrix to visualize classifications.
- Label risks as low, medium, or high based on matrix output.
- Ensure clear documentation of classification criteria.
- Identify all current controls in place for each hazard.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of these controls through testing and inspection.
- Document any failures or successes of existing controls.
- Determine if additional controls are necessary.
- Review existing risk management protocols and controls.
- Identify areas where risks are not adequately addressed.
- Consult with stakeholders for insights on perceived gaps.
- Document all identified gaps for future reference.
- Gather historical incident data relevant to air compressors.
- Analyze trends in incidents, near misses, and root causes.
- Compare data with industry standards and best practices.
- Document findings to inform current risk assessments.
- Assess how often personnel or equipment may encounter each hazard.
- Consider operational schedules and maintenance activities.
- Document exposure frequency for each hazard.
- Use this information to inform risk prioritization.
- Consider worst-case scenarios for injuries or damages.
- Assess potential impact on personnel, equipment, and operations.
- Use a severity scale to categorize potential outcomes.
- Document the severity assessments for reference.
- Choose qualitative or quantitative methods based on data availability.
- For qualitative, gather expert opinions and use risk matrices.
- For quantitative, use statistical data to calculate risk levels.
- Document the chosen method and findings.
- Create scenarios that illustrate potential hazard impacts.
- Consider different operational conditions and responses.
- Use diagrams or flowcharts for visual representation.
- Document each scenario for training and analysis.
- Use a combined approach of likelihood and consequence assessments.
- Rank risks from highest to lowest based on scores.
- Focus on high-priority risks for immediate action.
- Document prioritization process and results.
- Identify key stakeholders involved in the commissioning process.
- Conduct interviews or surveys to gather input on risks.
- Encourage open discussion about risk experiences.
- Document stakeholder feedback for further analysis.
- Keep thorough records of all assessments and classifications.
- Include rationale for each decision made during analysis.
- Organize documentation for clarity and accessibility.
- Ensure all team members have access to findings.
