Governance Structure for Safety and Occupational Health Management
Work Risk Assessment
The company conducts risk assessments for both ongoing operations or projects and newly initiated operations or projects, such as installing new machinery replacements. The risk level assessment is performed to identify potential hazards and evaluate the risks associated with various activities, work areas, and overall workplace conditions. This process involves analyzing inherent hazards at each stage of work and implementing preventive measures or solutions to mitigate workplace dangers (Job Safety Analysis). It also includes evaluating the severity and likelihood of hazards occurring. The results from assessing severity and probability are then used to determine the risk level and establish risk control measures. The goal is to reduce both the likelihood and impact of hazards from high to acceptable or minimal levels, ensuring that all workers can perform their tasks safely with the lowest possible work-related risks. All high-risk tasks, such as working at heights, confined spaces, hot work with sparks, and handling hazardous chemicals, must undergo a thorough risk assessment. Additionally, appropriate risk control measures must be defined before starting work, with continuous monitoring throughout the operation.
