![Page 10: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Risk assessment
• What is the definition of a hazard?• What is the definition of risk?• What, in your view, is the most
important element of a risk assessment?
• Have you ever analysed an accident??
![Page 11: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Accident analysis
• What is an accident?– Is it Murphy's law?– Or a management failure?– Or an inevitability??
Think of some dominos in a line.
![Page 12: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Picture five dominoes in a row to illustrate the sequence. The first domino Background – represents a worker’s lifestyle and personalityThe second domino Personal Characteristics – represents a worker’s attitude, level of knowledge, and physical and mental conditions The third domino Unsafe Acts and Unsafe Conditions – represents a worker’s behavior and unsafe job conditionsThe fourth domino The Accident – represents the unplanned event caused by an unsafe act or conditionThe fifth domino The Injury – represents someone getting hurt
An accident occurs from a sequence of events. It is a chain reaction.
![Page 13: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Accidents• And then there is an accident.
• Accident do not just happen – they are caused.
• If you analyse lots of accidents, you always find the same root causes:– Can you suggest some?
![Page 14: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Accident Causes OR EXCUSES?Cutting corners, using incorrect equipment for the
job, not concentrating, inadequate training, not being supervised, lack of information, pressure on time, not thinking a job through enough, ignoring safety signage, custom and practice (eg. Using a fire extinguisher to hold a fire door open!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Inadequate resources to complete the job. Lack of experience
Poor attitude, horseplay, maliciousness.
Inadequate identification of the chances of something bad happening. Not learning from previous mistakes. Unsafe systems of work. Unsafe chemicals and substances(say mixing or incorrect storage). No PPE.
![Page 15: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Accidents• Etc• Etc etc
![Page 16: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Accident Reporting and Riddor
• Riddor is probably the simplest piece of law an enforcing authority (EHO) can use against a business – a scenario:– Accident that should be reported occurs.– It is not reported to HSE.– 3 years later EHO gets a letter on behalf
of injured person asking for information.– Empire is prosecuted for a strict offence.– Senior Managers are not happy.
![Page 17: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Accident Reporting and Riddor
• OK. Are all things that happen reportable?– Try these out –
• The letter E falls from the front façade of your cinema. No one is injured, no damage occurs – is it reportable?
• A scaffold around the building collapses – again no injury – reportable?
• A member of the public trips over in your foyer and goes to hospital – no fracture just cuts and bruises?
• A member of staff drops a film reel on their foot because they lone work and do not use the correct technique? Off work for one day.
![Page 18: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Accident Reporting and Riddor
• OK. Are all things that happen reportable?– A member of staff comes back from Zambia on
hols and has malaria – reportable?– A member of staff gets contact dermatitis to their
hands and arms and is off work for 2 weeks – reportable?
– A woman gives birth in screen 3 – reportable?– A man has a coronary in screen 2 – the paramedics
arrive and take him in an ambulance to hospital – he subsequently dies. Reportable under RIDDOR?
– A boiler in the basement explodes- reportable?
![Page 19: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Reporting• Remember 3 things
– 1) it is a strict offence not to report– 2) But do not report everything - – 3) Matrix Safety are can assist to get
it right so if in doubt call them.
They have an IT system to help.
![Page 20: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Using the ARF system.• Matrix has a system called ARF
– ARF means accident reporter form– The link is on your internet resource.

Risk Assessment• We have generic risk assessments
written in the manual.• Before we look at these:
– Write a quick RA for crossing the road. 2 minutes (work alone).
![Page 23: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
RA• Did you have enough info ?
![Page 24: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
RA• it is a 4 carriageway road with a speed
of 70 mph, there is a brow of hill to the right and central crash barriers, and it is night. It is an accident hotspot.
• Did you all presume a single carriageway, lit, 30mph, with a pedestrian or dedicated crossing.
• Rule one of risk assessment is – PRESUME NOTHING
![Page 25: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
RA• How to do a risk assessment.
– Identify the hazards– Identify the risk– Identify who will be affected– Identify the possible outcomes (of
failure), and the likelihood of the worst outcome.
– Identify controls.– Identify monitoring and audit routines. – Write it all down.– Check it and manage it.
![Page 26: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
RA• How to do a risk assessment.
– Identify the hazards•What are hazards
– Working from a ladder– Walking along a corridor– Lifting a box– Serving an angry customer– Changing a xenon bulb– Cleaning / mopping a floor
![Page 27: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
RA• How to do a risk assessment.
– Identify the hazards
– Identify the risk• This is likelihood
– Low, medium or High– This is the part untrained people get
consistently wrong• They often over-estimate risk or under
estimate it on purpose so they feel that they have played the game.
![Page 28: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

RA– Identify the hazards– Identify the risk– Identify who will be affected
Identify the possible outcomes (of failure), and the likelihood of the worst outcome.• Use your noggin. If it has happened
before IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN unless the controls are in place to absolutely prevent it.
![Page 30: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Controls• In the red corner
we have hazards
– Wet floor
–
• And in the blue corner we have controls.– Try mopping it
dry, using signs, timing the mopping to low traffic, barriers etc
![Page 32: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Controls• In the red corner
we have hazards
– Falling from a stepladder
• And in the blue corner we have controls.– Use a stepladder that has
been examined and has an up to date checklist on it
– Use it on firm ground– Get a helper to fall onto– Maintain 3 points of contact– Engineer out the risk –
move the light pendant so it can be reached without standing on a ladder
– Never use a crate, chair, box
![Page 33: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Controls• In the red corner
we have hazards
– Local example time
– In pairs generate a hazard to discuss.
–
• And in the blue corner we have controls.– Then devise your
controls
![Page 34: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Identify monitoring and audit routines.
• As a safety professional, this is key,it is the check and feedback loop.
• Matrix will NOT be offended if someone criticises their risk assessment work – ever.
• There was a good audit used within the company already.
• Managers – do not be afraid to supervise / manage.

RA• If a hazard is of low consequence and is
unlikely to occur – then this is low risk.• A piece of work can be low hazard and high
risk (ie. There is a significant chance of something bad happening) – what to do?
• Or high hazard and low risk ( so the outcome if it occurred would be horrible, but the chances are miniscule/slim- what to do?
![Page 38: Empire Cinemas Ltd. Health and Safety System Overview Revision February 2007.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e175503460f94b01fd0/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

COSHH• Controlling chemicals and bio haz (viruses)• Not just about using PPE.• COSHH is about using safe chemicals in a safe
way. It starts with ‘ do we need this substance at all – can we replace it with something safer.
• Matrix have checked all the chemicals in use, they are used in small quantities or are relatively safe.
• Remember to read the packet and use the controls.
