WHY CARRY OUT RISK ASSESSMENTS?

Any assessment must be SUITABLE and SUFFICIENT

A hazard is something that has potential to cause injury to personnel, or damage to the environment or equipment

That something may be equipment, an activity, a condition, or a work method

A risk is the likelihood of a hazard actually causing injury or damage

Risk Assessment is simply the process in which we identify risks, and assign controls to eliminate or reduce these risks to an acceptable level

The residual risk should be As Low As Reasonably Practicable

WHAT IS A RISK ASSESSMENT?

Many jobs come complete with their own form of risk assessment in the shape of JHA and Job Safety Plan

Any job covered by a permit will include a JHA and Job

Safety Plan supplied by the PTW Originator

More complicated jobs will have a Formal Method Statement

However all the above assessments have a fundamental weakness….

OTHER RISK ASSESSMENTS

Unlike TRIC, none of the assessment processes mentioned above involve all the work party in identifying risks on site

No two jobs are exactly the same

No two work sites are identical; each work site will present different hazards

The same work site can present different local conditions on different days, or even at different times in the same shift

Typical examples of this are:

Changes in weather and wind direction

Presence of another work party

Differences in lighting between day and night

Changes in the process e.g. a pump running

WORKSITE HAZARD & RISKS

As a result, other assessments do not take into account the unique characteristics of a work site, and its environment

The Talk Leader should be the Permit Holder

A ‘TRIC’ talk will only take about 10 minutes

Be disciplined at the ‘TRIC’ don’t get side tracked

In an ideal world, every TRIC talk would be held on site.

However in certain circumstances, environmental conditions make this difficult

High noise levels remote locations, extreme weather conditions and the need to wear SCBA are common examples

In such cases it is acceptable to hold the TRIC talk off site at the station or PTW issue point

TRIC TALKS – BEST PRACTICE (1)

However, no TRIC should be conducted without a visit to the work site by the team at some point in the TRIC process

Regardless of location, it is essential that all personnel involved in the task attend the TRIC, and that it is held in a location where there are no distractions (so don’t use the tea shack)

Communication within the team must be easily carried out

The aim at the end of the talk, is to identify all the risks, and ensure that everyone in the work party is aware of the work plan, his responsibilities and the what to do in an emergency (Safety Plan)

The TRIC talk should be an interactive session, not a lecture from the talk leader

TRIC TALKS – BEST PRACTICE (2)

The Permit Holder will ‘refresh’ the TRIC with his work party at the start of each following day

The Permit Holder will ‘sign his initials and date’ the TRIC each following day to show the TRIC has been refreshed

No need for the Area Authority / Area Operator to attend the TRIC for continuing work on following days – PTW work party only required

to go wrong, so……to go wrong, so……

A good TRIC - Talk will identify all risks that exist prior to starting the job

Many incidents are caused by a failure to recognise change

The TRIC - Talk Leader should use ‘Pause & Check’ to re-assess the TRIC at regular intervals – update the TRIC in the Dynamic Risk review on the front of the card

Remember, everyone has the right to stop a job if they have a safety concern
