An Overview:

Hazard identification and risk assessment (HIRA) is a systematic approach to assessing hazards and associated potential risks. This method provides objective actions that help identify and execute effective risk management strategies. HIRA studies support organizations to stay relevant with health and safety risk assessment guidelines and ensure a robust safety culture.

Core Goals of the HIRA Study

The key objectives of hazard risk assessment cover:

• Conduct an extensive assessment that recognizes potential risks associated with people, services, machinery and business processes.
• Curate safety actions that mitigate risks in the current workplace scenario.
• Derive additional proactive actions that eliminate risks
• Develop a risk register, which regularly monitors risks, evaluates the current safety measures and deploys changes, if they are needed.

Classification of Risks in HIRA

HIRA (Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment) classifies risks as:

1. Process Risks

These are the risks associated with workplace processes, for example, fire, chemical spills, or explosions.

2. Equipment Risks

These are the potential hazards that occur due to tools, machinery, or equipment failure.

3. Human Factor Risks

These are the risks that happen due to human error, negligence, or poor training.
