Posted By J.M.Armstrong Hello All, I am involved in a team at work looking to improve safety. We work under a permit to work system for all jobs. At the moment we also issue personal Hazard Identication cards, which comprise of a number of check boxex against for example, chemical contact, slips,trips,falls, Collapse, noise etc,etc. The problem that I have with these cards is that there is no where to say what the extent of the risk is or once a hazard has been identified by a tick (we work in a chemical manufacturing plant so chemical contact will be ticked for almost every job)there is no place on the card to identify the controls implemented or that the risk has been reduced as far as practicable. I have been tasked to look at improving the card, this may involve just adding further space to allow control measures to be added and also to state whether a full documented risk assessment is required etc or it may involve a complete revamp of the card. Do any of you have such a card at your place of work? or have any advice as to the way to go?. We all carry out a mental risk assessment as standard before starting each job and from that we decide whether a full documented RA is required so I am conscious of not complicating or clouding that process. Any advice or examples of cards that you use would be much appreciated. Thanks Michael
