Occupational Health & Safety Risk Assessment

The document presents a risk analysis for ÖNAYSAN Endüstriyel Ürünler A.Ş., focusing on occupational health and safety issues identified during an inspection of their factory. Key risks include non-compliance with personal protective equipment (PPE) usage, blocked emergency exits, slippery floors, unsafe forklift and pedestrian traffic, and open electrical panels. A corrective action plan outlines immediate and long-term measures to address these hazards and improve safety protocols.

RISK

ANALYSIS
FINAL PROJECT OCCUPATIONAL
HEALTH & SAFETY
FACILITY PROFILE: ÖNAYSAN
ENDÜSTR iYE l ÜRÜNLER A.Ş.
Site: Dudullu Organized Industrial Zone
(Türkiye)

The factory has a total of 350 employees in Istanbul


and Eskişehir. The company produces industrial
products in the metal industry. The inspection was
carried out on the factory's production line.
AUDIT
METHODOLOGY
This risk assessment was carried out across the facility using a direct observational
approach and was supported by on site inspections. The nonconformities and risks
identified have been categorized under the three main areas below

Employee behavior and, in particular, lack of compliance with Personal Protective


HUMAN FACTORS:
Equipment (PPE) requirements (Item 1).

Condition of facility infrastructure, floor safety (wet/slippery surfaces) and physical


ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS:
working conditions (Item 3).

Emergency preparedness (blocked doors), internal traffic management (forklift–


OPERATIONAL FACTORS:
pedestrian interaction) and electrical/machinery safety (open panels) (Items 2, 4, 5).
RISK
ASSESSMENT
Matrix (L x S)
Risk Score (R) = Likelihood (L) × Severity (S)

A 5×5 matrix is generally used to score risks. This allows


us to quantify how serious a risk is.
1 USE OF PERSONAL
2
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
(PPE)
Observation: It was observed that personnel actively working
in the area were not using personal protective equipment
appropriate to the nature of the work, such as hard hats,
gloves, or safety shoes.

Assessment: The lack of protective equipment can cause even


a minor incident to result in serious injury. A lack of discipline
and supervision is evident. Immediate intervention is required
and a monitoring/control mechanism must be established.

Risk Score = L(4) X S(3)


1 CONDITION OF THE
5
EMERGENCY EXIT DOOR

Observation: The corridor leading to the emergency exit door


was found to be blocked with boxes and materials, and there
was a build-up of items in front of the door. At present, the
door is not accessible.

Assessment: In the event of a fire or panic, evacuation of


personnel would be impossible. This situation falls into the “life-
threatening” category and is not tolerable; it must be corrected
immediately.

Risk Score = L(3) X S(5)


8 FLOOR INSPECTION

Observation: Puddles of water were observed on the


production/warehouse floor, making the surface slippery. There
were no “Caution: Slippery Floor” warning signs in the area.

Assessment: A careless worker slipping and falling and


suffering head trauma or a fracture is only a matter of time.
The risk should be reduced using non-slip tape and/or warning
signs.

Risk Score = L(4) X S(2)


20 FORKLIFT AND
PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC
Observation: The yellow lines separating the pedestrian
walkway from the vehicle route had completely worn away,
and pedestrians and forklifts were using the same route in a
disorganized manner.

Assessment: The risk of collisions at blind spots is very high.


The absence of markings has eliminated the perception of a
safe distance between the operator and pedestrians. This is
one of the highest risks in the matrix. Traffic in the area should
be halted until the layout is corrected.

Risk Score = L(5) X S(4)


1 ELECTRICAL PANEL
5
SAFETY
Observation: The main electrical panel door had been left wide
open, making it possible for any unauthorized person to access
the fuses and cables inside.

Assessment: If a passing person or a piece of material makes


contact, electric shock is almost inevitable. In addition, the
ingress of dust and moisture increases the risk of fire. This is a
“red line” violation and the panel must be closed immediately.

Risk Score = L(3) X S(5)


Risk Score = Likelihood × Severity

Likelihood (score 1–5): How likely is it that the hazard will occur?
(1: Very Low, 5: Very High)
Severity (score 1–5): If the hazard occurs, how serious would the outcome be?
(1: Minor Injury / Near Miss, 5: Fatality / Permanent Disability)

Scoring Outcome:
1–6 (Low Risk): Acceptable, but requires monitoring.

8–12 (Medium Risk): Controls should be implemented


in the short term.

15–25 (High Risk): Work must be stopped immediately


and urgent measures must be taken.
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN
Immediate Actions
(Objective: Eliminate the danger immediately and make the area safe.)

Evacuation Safety:
Remove all obstacles in front of the emergency exit door and make the door fully accessible.
Electrical & Access Control:
Lock the main electrical panel immediately. Post a warning sign on the panel to prevent unauthorized access.
Area Isolation:
Barricade the wet floor area with tape and suspend the work of personnel who lack PPE, as well as forklift
operations, until the area is made safe.

Long-Term Actions
(Objective: Address systemic root causes and prevent recurrence.)

Structural Repair (Maintenance):


Develop a maintenance plan to repair the leaks causing floor slipperiness and to permanently separate forklift
routes with physical barriers.
Training (HR / OHS):
Organize mandatory refresher training for all personnel on “PPE Use” and “Pedestrian Route Safety.”
Procurement & Systems:
Procure blue spot warning lights for forklifts and implement an EKED lockout/tagout system for electrical panels.
