Lab Safety Coordinator Meeting

Paper Folding Exercise

• Your directions or instructions could be interpreted in many different ways.
• Can you see the need for clear cut instructions for training new personnel

in your laboratory?

• We will be giving you a set of tools to develop a training program that will

remove this ambiguity from training communications.

• These tools are a Task Analysis and a Risk Assessment process.

TASK ANALYSIS (TA)

Process of Completing a Task Analysis

4

Lab Safety Coordinator Meeting

Task Analysis

• How a task is accomplished, including a detailed description of:
• both manual and mental activities
• task durations
• task frequency
• task complexity
• laboratory conditions
• necessary clothing and equipment
• any other unique factors. [1]
• There are two types of tasks used during the process.

5

Lab Safety Coordinator Meeting

Two Types of Tasks

Step # 1 Supporting task

• an action that must be performed to

achieve a successful completion of the main task. Step # 2 Subtask

• an action that must be performed to

achieve a successful completion of the supporting task.

Lab Safety Coordinator Meeting

“How to Prepare a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich.”

• We first need to understand our audience.
• Example: Young Child
• Next, we need to decide if this training is best structured as a lecture or

hands on activity.

• Example: Hands-on-activity

RISK ASSESSMENT (RA)

The Process of Risk Management

11

Lab Safety Coordinator Meeting

Risk Management

• Definition: A systematic process that identifies the relative risk of training
• requirements. It weighs risk against training benefits and minimizes

unnecessary risk that can lead to accidents

• Five Steps in the Risk Management Process

1. Identify hazards 2. Assess hazards 3. Develop control options and make risk decisions 4. Implement controls 5. Supervise and evaluate

12

Task Analysis Risk Assessment

Lab Safety Coordinator Meeting

Risk Assessment

Step #1

Preliminary Hazard Analysis

• Based on the task you identified in

Task Analysis Process.

• You must consider each supporting

task and subtask from the PB & J example.

• You must identify all the possible

hazards associated with each task.

Step #2

Hazard Assessment

• Helps to determine the potential impact of

the hazards involved in the training process.

• Three components

A. Hazard Probability B. Hazard Severity

• C. Risk Assessment Matrix

13

Lab Safety Coordinator Meeting

Risk Assessment Step #1-Preliminary Hazard Analysis

• How do I identify all the possible hazards associated with the task?
• Think of all the failures that can occur during training session.
• Three factors to consider

1. Human error

• Individual failure
• Trainer failure
• Training failure

2. Material failure/malfunction 3. Laboratory conditions

• Step #1-Preliminary Hazard Analysis
• You must consider each of the supporting task and subtask

from the PB & J example

• You must identify all the possible hazards associated with

these tasks

Step #2- Hazard assessment

• Three components
• A. Hazard Probability
• B. Hazard Severity
• C. Risk Assessment Matrix

18

Lab Safety Coordinator Meeting

Step #2- A. HAZARD PROBABILITY

Each hazard can be assessed in relation to the probability of a hazard occurring.

• Assessment should be made on the impact of each hazard in terms of

probability, or how likely it will occur.

• Five degrees of probability
• A. Frequent- occurs very often or is continuously experienced
• B. Likely – occurs several times
• C. Occasional – occurs sporadically
• D. Seldom – remotely possible or could occur sometime
• E. Unlikely – can assume will not occur but not impossible

19

Lab Safety Coordinator Meeting

HAZARD PROBABILITY ASSESSMENT

• 1.0-1.5 -Trips, slips, falls, injury to appendages, and/or possible cuts from

items

• 2.0-2.9 - possible neck, back, arm and shoulder muscular strain
• 2.1 - possible exposure to cleaning agent
• Unlikely
• Can assume will not occur, but not impossible

20

Lab Safety Coordinator Meeting

HAZARD PROBABILITY ASSESSMENT

• 2.4 & 2.8 - Possible cuts from use of knife
• Seldom
• Remotely possible or could occur sometimes

21

Lab Safety Coordinator Meeting

Step #2-B. HAZARD SEVERITY

• Hazard Severity -The severity of each hazard is expressed in terms of:
• Degree of injury or illness
• Loss of or damage to equipment or property
• Environmental damage
• Other impairing factors

22

HAZARD SEVERITY CHART

23

Lab Safety Coordinator Meeting

HAZARD SEVERITY

• 1.0-1.5 -Trips, slips, falls, injury to appendages and/or possible cuts from

items

• 2.0-2.9 - Possible neck, back, arm and shoulder muscular strain
• 2.4 & 2.8 - Possible cuts from use of knife
• Negligible (IV)
• Accident Risk: First aid usage or minor medical treatment
• Facility Risk: Slight equipment or system damage

24

Lab Safety Coordinator Meeting

Step #2-C. RISK ASSESSMENT MATRIX

Determines the level of risk associated with a particular hazard by weighing the hazard’s probability of occurrence against the hazard severity.

• This is performed using the risk assessment matrix & risk assessment

code tables.

• The point where the severity row and probability column intersect defines

the level of risk.

RISK ASSESSMENT MATRIX

• 1.0-1.5 -Trips, slips, falls, injury to appendages, and/or possible cuts from

items

• 2.0-2.9 - Possible neck, back, arm and shoulder muscular strain
• 2.1- Possible exposure to cleaning
• 2.4 & 2.8 - Possible cuts from use of knife
• Unlikely & Negligible (IV)=L- Low risk
• Seldom & Negligible (IV)=L-Low Risk
• Unlikely marginal loss and occasional negligible loss
