SECTION 2: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION, RISK ANALYSIS AND RISK CONTROL (HIRARC)
The HIRARC Team has to determine the most appropriate way(s) of identifying hazards.
These may include brainstorming, systematic process reviews, Job Hazard Analysis
(JHA), Job Observations and Job Safety Analysis (JSA). When identifying hazards, the
HIRARC Team has to consider if the hazards could cause harm beyond the immediate area
of their work.
2.1 Hazard Identification
a) Select a “Work Activity” from the project works master schedule or “Work
Breakdown Structure” (WBS) or project work method statement master list for
analysis and all information required has to be documented in HIRARC Form.
b) Break down work activity into its sub-activities to facilitate the identification of all
foreseeable hazards associated with the work. These sub-activities constitute the different
steps that make up the work activity.
c) For each sub-activity, identify the potential hazard(s) and record them in the “Hazard”
column. List each hazard in a separate row in the table.
d) The following categories of hazards should be considered:
■ physical (e.g., fire, noise, ergonomics, heat, radiation);
■ mechanical (e.g., moving and dangerous parts, rotating parts);
■ electrical (e.g., voltage, current, static charge, magnetic fields);
■ chemical (e.g., flammables, toxics, corrosives, reactive materials);
■ biological (e.g., air or blood-borne pathogens, vector-borne disease, virus, bacteria); and
■ psychosocial (e.g., stress, fatigue).
3
e) Workplace or Work-related Factors to consider when identifying hazards:
■ proximity of hazardous activities to one another;
■ compatibility of work activities;
■ non-routine work activities and situations; and Environmental conditions
2.2 Risk Analysis
2.2.1 Risk Matrix
This CIS recognises the various risk evaluation methods and matrices practised and preferred by
contractor. While this CIS does not restrict workplaces to its choice of matrices, the numeric 5x5
Risk Matrix is recommended. An example is given in Tables 1.
2.2.2 The Matrix recommended by this CIS is as follows:
Table 1: 5x5 Risk Matrix with numeric (quantity) and word (quality) ratings
Likelihood
Rare Remote Occasional Frequent Almost
Severity (1) (2) (3) (4) Certain (5)
Catastrophic (5) 5 (Med) 10 (Med) 15 (High) 20 (High) 25 (High)
Major (4) 4 (Med) 8 (Med) 12 (Med) 16 (High) 20 (High)
Moderate (3) 3 (Low) 6 (Med) 9 (Med) 12 (Med) 15 (High)
Minor (2) 2 (Low) 4 (Med) 6 (Med) 8 (Med) 10 (Med)
Negligible (1) 1 (Low) 2 (Low) 3 (Low) 4 (Med) 5 (Med)
2.2.3 Existing Controls
Existing controls are control measures that are already in place, or required to be implemented
to carry out the work activity. Assessment of severity and likelihood should be made on the
assumption that existing (or required) controls are in place. Existing (or required) controls that
do not influence severity should not be taken into account when assessing severity. Existing
(or required) controls that do not influence likelihood should not be taken into account when
assessing likelihood. For the purpose of CARA-HIRARC, existing control measures were
assumed not available.
2.2.4 Assessment of Severity
Taking the existing risk controls into consideration, the HIRARC Team has to rate the severity of
the possible injury or ill-health. When using the 5x5 matrix, the guidance given in Table 2 should
be used when selecting the level of severity. When using other matrices, equivalent guidance for
severity should be used and described in adequate details for adoption by users of those matrices.
4
Table 2: A guide to severity rating
Level Severity Description
5 Catastrophic Death, fatal diseases or multiple major injuries.
4 Major Serious injuries or life-threatening occupational diseases (includes

amputations, major fractures, multiple injuries, occupational
cancers, acute poisoning, disabilities and deafness).
3 Moderate Injury or ill-health requiring medical treatment (includes lacerations,

burns, sprains, minor fractures, dermatitis and work-related upper
limb disorders).
2 Minor Injury or ill-health requiring first-aid only (includes minor cuts

and bruises, irritation, ill-health with temporary discomfort).
1 Negligible Negligible injury.
Should HIRARC Team have difficulty developing a consensus to the severity level, the Team is to
gather more information and/or consult an industry expert.
2.2.5 Assessment of Likelihood
Taking the existing risk controls into consideration, the HIRARC Team has to rate the likelihood the
hazard may cause injury or ill-health. When assessing likelihood, the HIRARC Team has to consider
personal risk factors - existing medical condition(s) of the person(s) involved in the activity that may
affect the likelihood level. When using the 5x5 matrix, the guidance given in Table 3 should be used
when selecting the level of likelihood.
Table 3: A guide to likelihood rating
Level Likelihood Description
1 Rare Not expected to occur but still possible.
2 Remote Not likely to occur under normal circumstances.
3 Occasional Possible or known to occur.
4 Frequent Common occurrence.
5 Almost Certain Continual or repeating experience.
When using other matrices, equivalent guidance for likelihood should be used and described in
adequate details for adoption by users of those matrices. Should HIRARC Team members have
difficulty developing a consensus to the likelihood level, the Team is to gather more information and/
or get advice from an industry expert.
5
2.2.6 Risk Prioritisation Number (RPN)
The RPN is obtained by multiplying the values of Severity and Likelihood level
(Values in the “S” and “L” columns of the HIRARC table), that is, RPN = S x L.
2.2.7 Classification of Risk—Risk Matrix
Compare the RPN against the Risk Matrix in Table 4. Risk controls must be implemented so
that the risk levels are not in the red zone (“High Risk”) before work commences. Additional
Risk Controls should be implemented till:
■ Risk controls for the hazard in the yellow zone (“Medium Risk”) are already As
Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP); or
■ The risk level is in the green zone (“Low Risk”).
Table 4: 5x5 Risk matrix with numeric ratings.
Likelihood
Rare Remote Occasional Frequent Almost
Severity (1) (2) (3) (4) Certain (5)
Catastrophic (5) 5 10 15 20 25
Major (4) 4 8 12 16 20
Moderate (3) 3 6 9 12 15
Minor (2) 2 4 6 8 10
Negligible (1) 1 2 3 4 5
Which are the areas within the Matrix to be classified as Low (green), Medium Yellow) and
High risks (Red). The categorisation of risk may be done based on, but is not limited to,
industry practice, policies of the workplace and risk appetite of the organisation.
6
2.2.8 Action for Risk Levels
The following actions are to be implemented based on the current risk level.
Table 5: Low, Medium and High Action for Risk Level
Risk level Risk Acceptability Recommended Actions
Low Acceptable • No additional risk control measures may be needed.

• Frequent review and monitoring of hazards are required
to ensure that the risk level assigned is accurate and
does not increase over time.
Risk level Risk Acceptability Recommended Actions
Medium Tolerable • A careful evaluation of the hazards should be carried

out to ensure that the risk level is reduced to as low
as reasonably practicable (ALARP) within a defined
time period.
• Interim risk control measures, such as administrative
controls or PPE, may be implemented while longer term
measures are being established.
• Management attention is required.
High Not acceptable • High Risk level must be reduced to at least Medium
Risk before work starts.
• There should not be any interim risk control measures.
Risk control measures should not be overly dependent
on PPE.
• If practicable, the hazard should be eliminated before
work starts.
• Management review is required before work starts.
2.2.9 Risk Evaluation for Health Hazards
Exposure assessments should be conducted to estimate employees’ exposure to health hazards

where appropriate. Exposures can be estimated by qualitative assessment or quantified by direct
measurement. All exposure measurements should be conducted by competent persons using recognised
methods, acceptable standard procedures and standard calibrated equipment. Exposure estimates
are then compared to established Permissible Exposure Level (PEL) or other health standards to
establish the likelihood of the ill-health effects. Based on exposure assessment and risk evaluation,
health exposure risks can be ranked to enable prioritisation of action plans to lower these risks.
When assessing the risk of health hazards (e.g., noise, chemicals, biological agents and ergonomics),
relevant risk factors should be taken into consideration. It is also important to consider other factors
which may influence likelihood such as: potential cumulative exposures; potential synergistic effects
between certain health hazards (e.g. exposure to excessive noise and trichloroethylene [TCE] will
increase likelihood of hearing impairment); or any limitation in health standards if they do not consider
all exposure routes. (e.g., potential dermal or ingestion risks are generally not taken into account
when setting PELs).
2.3 Risk Control
Selection of risk control measures should be based on the Hierarchy of Control. Elimination of hazard
should take precedence, where practicable. Where elimination is not feasible, measures should be
7
taken to reduce the risk by following the Hierarchy in the recommended order: substitution, isolation,
engineering controls, administrative controls and personal protective equipment. For the purpose of
this CIS: 25 2018 CARA-HIRARC, the last three hierarchy of control such as Engineering Control
(EC), Administrative Control (AC) and Personal Protective Equipment Control (PC) are adopted as
the Recommended Control Measures (RCM).
RCM in HIRARC Table of this CIS are the generic good practices and should not be taken as sole
mandatory control measures. Contractor should determine their own customized RCM in accordance
with the nature of their work activities. There is three most common Personal Protective Equipment’s
Control (PC) recommended by this CIS i.e. Safety Helmet, Safety Shoes/boots and safety vest for
all work activities spelled.
2.3.1 Additional Controls
Check the risk level (or RPN) for acceptability. If the risk level “High” or RPN is in the “High” zone,
the risk must be eliminated or reduces to at least a “Medium” level by additional controls. When
considering additional controls to reduce risk, control measures that are higher up in the Hierarchy
of Control should be considered first.
2.3.2 Hierarchy of Control (HOC)
The control of hazards and reduction of risk can be accomplished by following the hierarchy of
Control (see figure 2).
Figure 2: HOC form
ELIMINATION More Effective

(Remove the sources of hazard completely)
SUBSTITUTION
(Replace hazardous work activity
with less hazardous)
ISOLATION
(Separate the hazard from people
or people from hazard)
ENGINEERING
(Physical changes, e.g redesign
by adding safeguards)
ADMINISTRATIVE
(Provide training procedure, signage, work
rotation, safe work procedures etc)
PPE
(Provide safety
helmet, safety shoes,
earmuff etc)
Less Effective
A control measure that is higher on the Hierarchy is often more effective as the risk is reduced
at or close to the source. The Control measures in the Hierarchy are not to be taken as isolated
or single solutions. Generally, it is more effective to use a combination of control measures.
For example, engineering controls work better with administrative controls like training and Safe
Work Procedures.
8
SECTION 3: HIRARC Approval
Completed HIRARC table must be approved by the Project/Construction Manager of the contractor
of the respective project. As far as is practicable, the contractor has to implement the recommended
risk control measures as soon as possible. Contractor must ensure that an action plan is prepared to
implement the measures. The plan to include a timeline for implementation and the names of the persons
responsible for implementing the safety and health control measure. The contractor must ensure that
the plan is monitored regularly until all the measures are implemented. The contractor must ensure that
regular inspections and process audits are carried out to make sure that risk control measure have been
implemented and are functioning effectively. After the implementation of additional controls, the “Existing
Controls” and “Recommended Controls Measures” columns of the HIRARC table have to be updated.
SECTION 4: RECORDS OF HIRARC
The contractor shall ensure that the HIRARC records are kept safe and available at the duration
of their project. The contractor needs to ensure that Risk Register is readily available for review by
interested party or regulatory agencies.
SECTION 5: RE-EVALUATION WITH ADDITIONAL CONTROLS
When additional control(s) have been decided, re-rate the Severity, Likelihood and Risk Levels (or
RPN values) and record them in the “S”, “L” and “RPN” columns in “Risk Control” section of the
HIRARC table. The re-evaluated RPN should not be HIGHER than the initial RPN. The revised Risk
levels (or RPN values) should preferably be kept within the low Risk (Green) zone, where feasible.
SECTION 6: CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES
