HAZARDS!!!

Risk
Assessment

The purpose of this assignment is to carry out the risk assessment
on three different activities that are performed at my workplace which are relating
to materials management. The tasks relate to vehicle fueling, various cleaning
tasks, storing materials, replacing the oil of the car, and others. According
to Gantt (2009), the risk assessment has fewer objectives as well as it
requires the certain degree of the judgment on behalf of the ones that are
involved. It primarily refers to the processes that are utilized for
determining the methods wherein these hazards would potentially be causing harm
towards the ones that are involved in the operation.

Risk
Assessment Plan

Considering my actual workplace currently there
are minimal situations where any form of hazards or the risky situations could occur.
However, I can primarily relate to different situations at other workplaces wherein
I had worked in past. This part of the paper refers to various situations from these
workplaces. Various risk assessment plans have different probability levels as
well as consequences for each of the levels.

So, for level 1 it would mean the hazards are
occurring frequently as well as its consequences refers to severe trauma and
even death. The level two of probability means that the hazard is very likely
to occur in near future and the anticipated consequences could lead to high
level trauma as well as severe injuries. The third level of the probability can
be considered as highly infrequent as well as the consequences resulting in
moderate trauma.

The first hazard
that I would to underpin is when I had been working for the company that was into
manufacturing the certain material by the combination of gas with various other
materials. In this process, these materials that I and other employees used to
handle were highly flammable. So working on it required a high level of caution
while working with all of these materials. I had been personally involved in
moving move various gas tanks from the company’s storing place towards the
point where in the operations required then for using it for creation of the
new material. I used to carry each of these materials with the help of piler. So
there were tremendous risks that were involved within this operation as well as
there had been some possible hazards that could have been occurred.

Marcotte, Mercier, Savard, and Verter (2009)
consider that the explosives, flammable liquids, gasses, different infectious
substances including poisonous substances, as well as various radioactive
materials had been the hazmats that are being transported in the large volumes.
Thus, while moving these gas tanks, I could have dropped any of these tanks and
if while touching a spark was created; the entire tank could be exploded. For
making sure that this risk has been reduced to a minimum level, I used to carry
this task at a highly slower speed thereby making no quick moves towards
creating any imbalance that could lead the tank to fall from the piler.

Many other
operations that had included various hazardous materials had been conducted at
the same workplace. For E.g. one of my colleagues in the same company used to
handle another process that required combining of two chemicals. The materials
that were required to be combined as the part of their process had been
included within the class of the poisonous as well as poison inhalation
hazards. Most of these materials fall into acids category and as it is a safety
standard that while working with the acids, each of the worker is required to
wear the face mask as well as gloves. In such a case the type of the mask that is
required to be used has to be an air-purifying system which can filter in
excess of the 99% percent of the air so that all of the workers are safe while
handling such substances.

There are several other regulations that
have been the part of the risk assessment plan as well as the instructions for the
safe operations of each of these materials.

The third hazard
that I would like to refer towards is the respiratory hazard and I had been
dealing with such a hazard while working for the constructions company that had
been dealing with the demolishing several old constructions. The respiratory
hazard in such case had been referring towards the particulates. According to
Gantt (2009), dusts can be considered as the solid particles within the air that
are created through the operations like sanding, grinding, drilling, as well as
the demolition. In the current situation, I was required to be at the firm’s
working site wherein the demolitions used to occur and was required to protect myself
against the dust. I had to take assistance of an air-purifying system for this
so that the dust need not get into my lungs and respiratory system. The masks
that were used were full faced masks which stopped the dust from entering in
the eyes, nose, ears, as well as mouth.

Conclusion

Managing risks as
well as creating the risk assessment plans has been imperative while working
with the hazardous materials. The assignment presented three different activities
within the workplace that primarily involved dealing with the hazardous
materials. It related to various risks that had been associated towards the
manipulation of each of these materials as well as describing various ways wherein
these risks needs to be mitigated so that nothing unanticipated happens to the company’s
employees, staff, society as well as the environment
