The HSE team members conduct an IHR by studying all the locations/process areas/activities. The IHR
serves as the basis for identification of preliminary hazards and risks across locations/process
areas/activities. The IHR will be maintained with all respective HSE team members. The IHR consists of
following parameters
Work Activity Hazard Penetration Hazard Machinery Hazard
Dust Hazard Thermal Hazard Electrical Hazard
Fire and Explosion Hazard Chemical Hazard Biological Hazard
Physical Hazard Psychological Hazard Work Environment Hazard
Confined Spaces Hazard Occupational Hazard Ergonomics & Human Behaviour
The data is collected reflecting all the above parameters. This will be documented in the IHR report by
the respective team member. The data collected will be maintained as an input for identification of
hazards and risks at locations/process areas/activities.

VIII. The HSE Team will be responsible to make sure that hazards are considered and necessary actions
are taken.
IX. Updates on legal and other requirements
X. Design of work areas, processes, installations, machinery/equipment, operating procedures, work
instructions, including their adaptation to human capabilities: The safety hazards should be
considered while designing the work areas or installation of new machinery / equipment.
XI. Mobilization of projects: Job safety analysis will be submitted as per the client requirements. Where
Representative there is no such requirement exists, risk assessment will be carried out by the site
safety officer and project team involved / appointed for the project.
XII. In case of the applicability to legal requirements the HSE team member shall consult with HR /

(b) Probability (P) This indicates how frequent an hazard occurs (this table remains applicable for
Aspect Impact Determination also)
(c) Rating The rating indicates the multiplication score of severity, probability and
present control. This value is considered to be as Risk Priority Number (RPN)

Hierarchy of controls
While establishing controls or making changes to existing controls, the hierarchy of assigning to a control could be
as follows:
(a) Elimination: Initially the hazards are considered for elimination. Methods and steps will be taken to eliminate
the hazards at source
(b) Substitution: Substituting methodologies are considered in case if the hazards could not be eliminated
(c) Engineering controls: The controls related to changes in machine design or process design is adopted
(d) Administrative controls: The activities could be supervised and governed by procedures or authorized personnel
(e) Personnel protection: Personnel protection is also considered for additional protection of employees
Before arriving at new controls, the existing controls followed will be studied. The control methods listed in this
document applies for assessment. Additional controls apart for this, if any is decided, the same will be documented
