Prepare For Risk?
1) Malaysia: Environmental quality (prescribed activities)(environmental impact assessment) order 1987
Recommended risk 10-6 fatality/year
2) Ecological risk assessment 1991
evaluate the likely-hood that adverse ecological effect may occur oroccurring as a result of exposure to one or more stressor
Stressor
Any physical, chemical or biological entity that can
induce adverse response.
Receptor
A plant, animal, community of organisms, or
ecosystem that is exposed to stressors in environment.
Risk = Exposure x Effect
Exposure is the interaction of stressors with receptors.Measures of exposure can include concentrations of contaminants orphysical habitat.Effects is measured from the changes in the nature and magnitudeof effects as exposure changes.
ExposureExposure1) Duration1) Duration2) Frequency2) Frequency3) Dose (Concentration) or Magnitude(force, pressure or damage)3) Dose (Concentration) or Magnitude(force, pressure or damage)
Effect( or consequence)Effect( or consequence)1)1) Health Health 2)2) EcosystemEcosystem3)3) Property ( or quality of life)Property ( or quality of life)
RiskRisk1)1) Casualty (ill or fatality)Casualty (ill or fatality)2)2) Damage ( cost or lost e.g.RM/hectare) Damage ( cost or lost e.g.RM/hectare) 3)3) Price or standard of living (decrease or increase)Price or standard of living (decrease or increase)
Risk is expressed in three ways:
1) Qualitatively for example high, medium, intolerable and acceptable ;
2) Semi-quantitatively based on likelihood and consequence but then it ranked one against other e.g. major, intermediate and low risks;
3) Quantitatively by calculating the likelihood (frequency) and the potential consequence of event. The result is presented in form of figure e.g. fatality/year.
RISK EXPRESSION
An example of Qualitative Risk Assessment
Intolerable region Risk cannot be justifiedon any ground (except in extraordinary circumstances)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tolerable region Tolerable region ifrisk reduction is notreasonable or its cost is not proportional tothe improvement gained.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Acceptable region Broadly acceptable region
Summarised from Higson (1998). Diagram adapted from HSE. Reference VRJ Individual Risk Criteria for Critical exposed group
Intolerable Risk cannot justified on any ground: 10-4 fatlity/year
Tolerable Only reduction is impracticle or if cost is grossly disproportionate tothe improvement gained : 10-5 fatlity/year
TolerableIf the cost of reduction would exceed the improvement gained: 10-6 fatlity/year
Negligible risk10-7fatlity/year
Trivial risk
An example of Qualitative Risk Assessment
NOTE: Acceptable industrial risk by DOE and DOSH in Malaysia 10-6 fatlity/year
An example of Semi-Qualitative Risk Assessment
Risk is grading into A, B and C
HAZARD EFFECT X PROBABILITY=RISK
Risk is grading into:High, Medium and Low
GUIDELINES
High x High = High
High x Medium or Medium x High = High
High x Low or Low x High = Medium
Medium x Medium = Medium
Medium x Low or Low x Medium = Medium
Low x Low = Low
Example
GRASS CUTTING
Minimise risk Residual risk1) Wearing stout boots or
better still safety shoes2) Do not mow in the wet3) Clear lawn of stones etc.
Keep children awayWear eye protection
4) Mow away from cableInstall ELCB( earth leakage circuit breaker)

CONCEPT OF DEVELOPMENT
• Basis for the risk estimate is usually qualitative;• However, it can be quantitative ( for either consequences
or the frequencies, or both);• For this estimation, categories for consequences and frequencies
are divided into 5 categories;• For consequences terms are: catastropic (category 5),
major(category 4), severe (category 3), significant (category 2) and minor(category 1);
• For frequencies terms are: Probable( 5), improbable(4), unlikely (3),very unlikely(2), extremely unlikely(1).
Veryunlikely

Values <10–1 can be indicated as medium and low levels of risk
Values >10-25 can be indicated as high level of risk boundary

•Risk is the potential for realisation of unwanted,adverse consequences to human life, health, property, or the
environment
• RISK is probability of loss and injury to people, property, orthe environment
• RISK is probability of the occurrence times the severity of harmful effect
• For accident ;
Risk = frequency (event per year) and consequence(effects/event) of a single or groupof accidents
or Risk = Probability x Severity of Consequence
Exposure of toxic chemicals cause casualty; fatality, injury and health effectExposure; Time-weight average (TWA), Lethal concentration (LC50)
RISK MEASURES is based on methodology and data
Example of RISK MEASURES
Major Accident Fatality/year or injury( ist or 2nd degree of burnair drum rupture, building burn, collapse etc)
Human Health Cases (reported) incident (rate cases)Life loss expectancy
Financial Money loss (lost)Ruin

Risk Perception and Acceptable Risk
Voluntary risk and Involuntary RiskSmoker may accept risk of a higher risk such as smoke 100 cigarettes a day) but may not accept comparable risks imposed to them an incinerator at their backyard work in chemical plants)

smoking 20 cigarettes/day 500 x 10 10-5
car driving 17 x 1010-5

Risk Assessment is a structured sequence activities.
It can be divided into 2 : Risk analysis Risk evaluation
It involves answering the following questions:
What can go wrong? (Hazard Identification) What might be the impact? (consequence analysis) What might be the causes? (causal analysis) How likely is it? (Probability analysis) What is the level of risk? (risk determination)
The process of risk assessment involves:
1)Identification of potential harmful hazards2) Measurements to estimate the consequences of the hazards3) Estimation of the probability of the occurrence of each hazard
consequence4) Quantitative calculation of risks and comparison with potentially
acceptable hazard levels5) Characterisation of the hazard risks to be managed, along with
the assumptions and uncertainties6) Ranking of the risk hazards for management decision making

HAZOP• The method uses guide words such as “too much’, “too little”, which can
be applied to process parameters to generate “ what if” questions such as“ What if there is too much flow”.
• Full HAZOP study is carried out by a team comprises of a cross sectionof experiences plant and lab people.A typical team might involve the following personnel:Team leaderTeam secretaryProcess engineerProject/design engineerPlant/operation managerOperatorOne or ,ore, as and when required, from: SHE expertResearch chemistControl/instrumentation engineerMaintenance/mechanical engineerOther specialist

Risk Management
Is an output of risk assessmentInvolves:
application of management policies (regulatory) and practices(R&D, operation and management, public health, politic, social,economy, impact of enforcement) and formal risk assessment or controlling risk in order to protect life, the environment, physical assets and company in cost effective manner to avoid business interruption or for agency decision or actions.
Effective risk management- planning, organizing, implementing, and controlling to achieve
objective- involves all level of personnel (commitment & reward/appreciate) - effective risk communication (information or training)- audit & review
