 DISCUSSION OF TABLE HIRARC

(a) Based on the HIRARC table, the most critical hazard for SAFETY is the activity when using
mobile crane to lift the material, the material can fall down while the most critical hazard for
HEALTH is when concrete vibrator whereby the inhaling of hazardous dust. and inhaling of
toxic fumes from engine can cause effect to the health
(b) Both of the hazard are being chosen as the most critical due to the risk from both hazards are high
which is 12.
(c) The proposed control measures for safety hazard (mobile crane to lift the material) according to
the hierarchy of risk control:
Elimination: It is not suitable to eliminate the mobile crane since most of the materials at the
construction site are heavy and requires tool to removes it.
Substitution: Using lorry/vehicles that on ground/manual force to lift materials. Using the pulley
system, which does not raise the material to a certain height.
Engineering Control:
Redesign: Use Spreader beams, which spread the load being lifted, are recommended for lifting
long, large objects. When long loads (eg, shutters, steel sections, etc) are lifted, slingers should
attach a rope or ‘tag line’ to one or both ends of the load so that rotational movement may be
controlled.
Isolation: Create “Exclusion Zone”. no-one should work under an area where loads are being
lifted.
Administrative control:
Safe work procedures - Workers can be required to use standardized safety practices during
lifting process.
Supervision and training- Initial training on safe work procedures and refresher training should
be offered to the lift crane operator.
Personal Protective Equipment- Always wear Personal Protective Equipment in the site area.
(d) The proposed control measures for health hazard (concrete vibrator) according to the hierarchy
of risk control:
Elimination: It is not suitable to eliminate the concrete vibrator since vibration of concrete is
needed to reduce honeycomb effect.
Substitution: • Used a reduction vibration, or anti-vibration, or tool produces less vibration than
conventional tools during construction operations.
Administrative control:
Safe work procedures - Workers can be required to use standardized safety practices when using
concrete vibrator.
Supervision and training- Initial training on safe work procedures and refresher training should
be offered to the people who use concrete vibrator.
Maintenance- Concrete vibrators must be maintained regularly to reduce the health hazard to the
worker.
Job rotation- Concrete vibrator should not be used in a long period to reduce exposure time.
Personal Protective Equipment- Always wear Personal Protective Equipment in the site area
