SAFETY, HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT – EMSH5103

ASSIGNMENT (45%)

INSTRUCTIONS: ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS.

PART A

Question 1 Calculate the incident rate (IR) for a company with 200 employees, working 45 hours/week

and has a recorded injuries of 10. Use OSHA constant of 200,000 man-hours.

[20 marks] Incident rates (IR) are a metric used to benchmark and gauge the safety performance of a

company. It is also a trending number based on the injury if you had worked 200,000

hours as used by OSHA as benchmark. The calculation is based from OSHA 300. OSHA

requires that an OSHA 300 log be completed and posted every year. Why 200,000 hours?

Simply put, that is the hour worked by 100 employees, averaging 40 hours/week over a 50

weeks span (two weeks taken away for holidays).

For this calculation however, we will assume that the weeks are not taken away and the

company worked for 52 weeks/year.

In order to calculate the IR, we need to have the Total Number of Hours Work, :-

Total Man-Hours = Total No of Employees x Working hours per week x 52

= 200 x 45 x 52

= 468,000 Man-Hours

Incident Rate (IR) = Recordable Injuries x OSHA constant ------------------------------------------------ Total Man-Hours

Incident Rate (IR) = 10 x 200,000 ---------------- 468,000 = 4.2735

Question 2 Environmental Impact Assessment is vital for major projects list five (5) objectives and

briefly explains each of the objectives.

[20 marks] Following the wash away of Bota Bridge in 1967 and the flooding of Kuala Lumpur in

1970, various studies and suggestions have been moved forward to address

environmental issues in Malaysia until in 1986 the Environmental Impact Assessment

(EIA) has became mandatory in Malaysia with the insertion of section 34(A) in the

Malaysian “Environmental Quality Act”.

The objectives of the Environmental Impact Assessments are as follows:

1) To ensure environmental factors are considered in the decision making process – this

is essential where EIA will play as a planning mechanism to prevent environmental

problems from occurring by having a detailed assessment of the environmental effects

and impacts due to the project implementation. This is critical to avoid serious and

irreversible damage to environment. Simply put it is to examine and select the best

from the available project options.

2) To ensure possible adverse environmental impacts are identified, avoided or

minimised and also predict significant residual environment impacts – It will help

ensure that potential problem are foreseen and addressed during early stage in the

project planning and design which will avoid costly mistakes in project implementation;

during or after and includes remedial action to make the action environmentally

acceptable. This also assists in identifying key impacts and measure for mitigation for

environmental damages.

3) To provide proper outline for project implementation which relates to environment –

this involves identification, assessment and method statement, measures and

standard which shall be included in all phases of the project from design to

implementation, testing and commissioning. This will determine the significant residual

environment impacts predicted.

4) To protect the human health and safety – EIA will ensure all aspects of human health

and safety is taken into consideration on how the project will directly impact the quality



4

of life and the capacity of the site can accept the environmental changes to be taken

place. This will minimize or mitigate and enhance social aspects to the community

which will also identify the cost and benefits of the project to the community.

5) To include and specify environmental monitoring and audit requirements – where the

implementation and the effectiveness of the environmental protection control

measures is adopted. This will provide continuous quality check on the environmental

controls implementation.

6) As an information to the public about the project proposal – which helps describe the

proposed project and other relevant works which is a public concerns.

Question 3 The annual losses from accidents in a small construction firm are expected to be $25,000

per year. These estimates only include direct losses. An investment of $35,000 in safety

countermeasures will reduce these direct annual loss values to $10,000 per year. The

projected life for this investment is five years at an estimated annual interest rate of 15%.

The present worth of the annual savings from the safety countermeasures is;

[20 marks]

Net present value (NPV) can be used for this calculations, it is define as the total present

value (PV) of a time series of cash flows. It is a standard method using time value of

money to appraise future value of money. Each cash inflow/outflow is discounted back to

PV. Then they are totalled together, therefore NPV is the sum of all , where

t: the time of the cash flow

i: the discount rate (rate of return)

Rt: the net cash flow (amount of cash, inflow minus outflow) at time t

Using numbers from the question:

Number of Years = 5

Investment = $35,000

Annual Loss Value Reduction / Annual Savings = $15,000,

Interest Rate / Discount Factor = 15%

PART B

Question 1 Develop an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) for hazardous chemical transported by

tankers from manufacturing facility to a processing plant. This truck will be using public

roads during its journey before reaching the destination. This ERP should consist of the

followings;

a) Objective of Emergency Response Plan

b) Emergency Response Team

c) Emergency Response Procedure

d) Spill Prevention and Precaution Measure

e) Emergency Response Communication Plan

[40 marks] WARISAN ATX is a company that involves with highly hazardous chemical, i.e Acetone.

OSHA requires each employer to have a specific employee emergency response plan

(ERP). Thus, ERP is developed as below for the facility and the transportation of the said

material from the manufacturing facility to a processing plant via tanker using public roads.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN NOTE: Companies should not attempt any hazardous waste operations unless employees

have been trained in accordance with the provisions of OSHA Standard 1910.120. Without

this training, the only option open to a company is evacuation and notification of

appropriate agencies capable of handling this type of situation.

OBJECTIVE The goals of this emergency response plan are, in order of priority, to protect the lives and

health of Warisan ATX employees, and protect and minimize damage to company

property in the event of an emergency and guide the employees on the action plan for all

emergencies that might occur inside the manufacturing facility or during the transportation

of the hazardous acetone from the manufacturing facility to the processing plant.



7

The objectives of this plan are:

· To evacuate and account for all employees, visitors and the public if occur outside;

· To contact local emergency service organizations;

· To assemble the company’s Emergency Response Team (ERT) for implementation of

the response plan;

· Preparation for, and identification and handling of chemical related accidents.

· Management of leaking or otherwise compromised tankers and chemicals.

· Emergency disposal of hazardous chemicals, and spill prevention measures.

· Contact pertinent regulatory agencies;

· Conduct search-and-rescue operations, turnoff utilities, control any hazardous chemical

spills or releases;

· Prevent further property damage through protective measures or by removing property;

· Perform cleanup and salvage as needed;

· Conduct post-incident critique and evaluation;

· File any applicable reports with regulatory agencies.

· To ensure company operations return to normal.

The procedure might not have cover every emergency situation that could occur, but

however it will provide guidelines to enable employees of Warisan ATX to react and

respond to the majority of the emergencies. The employees could only handle minimal

emergency situation and everything above the appropriate level will be escalated to the

ERP team and then to the local authority.

SCOPE · Define the emergency response team

· Elaborate on emergency response procedures

· Establish the emergency response communication plan

· Characterize spill prevention and precaution measure

· Fire fighting in the event of an outbreak

· Handling and storage of Acetone

· Contain leakage and spills

· Protect human lives and property

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Spill Prevention and Precaution Measure

Incidental vs. Large Scale Spills In terms of size, Warisan ATX has identified two levels of spills;

1. Incidental Spills

2. Large Scale Spills

Any leak, odor or spill that has been identified as an incidental spill can and will be

handled in house by our ERT using spill containment and personal protective equipment

that is currently available. If personal protective equipment above level "C" is required,



11

(refers to the PPE procedure: Warisan Atx/PPE/2009/32a) then the incident will no longer

be considered "incidental." Under the direction of the Warisan Atx ERP coordinator, a spill

no longer or not considered incidental will be referred to one or all of the following;

1. Fire Department Sentul Raya

2. Police Department Sentul Raya

3. DOSH Office in Jalan Tun Razak

Incidental Leaks, Releases and Spills Incidental release or spill shall mean a small scale discharge, leak, release or spill that can

be absorbed, neutralized or otherwise controlled at the time of the incident by employees

of Warisan ATX. In order for the Hazardous Material discharge, leak, release or spill to be

considered incidental, there can be no potential health risks, potential for explosion or fire

and no risk of personal injury. In the event of an accident, explosion, fire, leak, release or

spill the first priority must be personal health and safety. The following is the

In general, these are the actions that can be taken while waiting for the ERP team

Accidental Release/Chemical Spills of Acetone Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal

protective equipment. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel

from entering. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Use non-sparking tools and

equipment. Collect liquid in an appropriate container or absorb with an inert material (e. g.,

vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste container. Do not use

combustible materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer! If a leak or spill has not

ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors, to protect personnel attempting to stop

leak, and to flush spills away from exposures.

Fire Fighting No employee shall fight a fire that is beyond the incipient stage (able to be put out with a

fire extinguisher), enter if the building is on fire to conduct search and rescue, or provide

advanced medical care and treatment. These situations must be left to emergency

services professionals, who have the necessary training, equipment and experience.

First Aid Measures If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is

difficult provide oxygen. Call HSE Department.

If ingestion, vomiting may occur spontaneously. Do not Induce. Keep head below hips to

prevent aspiration into lungs. Call HSE Department.

If skin contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Remove

contaminated clothing and shoe. Call HSE Department.

If eye contact, flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes lifting upper and lower

eyelids occasionally. Call HSE Department. Tanker/Transportation Accident Transporter will immediately switch off engine and all electrical devices. Wait until vapor

hazard is removed. Do not let people to surround the area. Ensure that people are

informed of the danger and ask them to move away. Check for spills/leak that might occur

after the accident. Phone the Fire Department at 911 and also Warisan ATX HSE

Department. Do not start back the engine and all other electrical devices.

Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.

6. Accidental Release Measures Ventilate area of leak or spill. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Contain and recover liquid when possible. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Collect liquid in an appropriate container or absorb with an inert material (e. g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw dust. Do not flush to sewer! If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors, to protect personnel attempting to stop leak, and to flush spills away from exposures. US Regulations (CERCLA) require



19

reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess of reportable quantities. The toll free number for the US Coast Guard National Response Center is (800) 424-8802. J. T. Baker SOLUSORB® solvent adsorbent is recommended for spills of this product.

7. Handling and Storage Protect against physical damage. Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated location, away from any area where the fire hazard may be acute. Outside or detached storage is preferred. Separate from incompatibles. Containers should be bonded and grounded for transfers to avoid static sparks. Storage and use areas should be No Smoking areas. Use non-sparking type tools and equipment, including explosion proof ventilation. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Airborne Exposure Limits: Acetone: -OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): 1000 ppm (TWA) -ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV): 500 ppm (TWA), 750 ppm (STEL) A4 - not classifiable as a human carcinogen Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details. Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half-face organic vapor respirator may be worn for up to ten times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. A full-face piece organic vapor respirator may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face piece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. Skin Protection: Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact. Eye Protection:



20

Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
