Fall Hazard Risk Assessment matrix for Access Point, Unprotected Skylight & Unprotected edges

Fall Hazard Risk Assessment

A Risk Assessment Matrix is a tool used to assess the likelihood and severity of potential hazards in a workplace and can be used to determine appropriate risk control measures. When applied to the three areas of fall hazards as per OSHA (access points, unprotected skylights, and unprotected edges of buildings), a risk assessment matrix can help employers identify and prioritize the risks associated with these hazards and determine appropriate control measures.

Here’s an example of how a risk assessment matrix could be applied to the three areas of fall hazards:

Risk Assessment  Matrix  

OSHA  Clause  – 1910.28(b)(13)  Work on low-slope roofs

 Risk Assessment is based on 2 factors.

  • Severity of consequences – How life-threatening is it?
  • Likelihood – frequencyof exposure.

Risk = Severity of consequences X Likelihood

One should prioritize Risk Assessment based on the critical danger and how frequently workers are exposed to that area.

Access Points

 

Likelihood of occurrence: High

Severity of consequences: High

Control measures: Employers should implement guardrails, safety nets, or personal fall arrest systems to prevent falls from access points.

Unprotected Skylights:

 

Likelihood of occurrence: Low to Moderate

Severity of consequences: High

Control measures: Employers should cover or guard skylights with a screen or railing that can withstand a force of at least 90 kgs applied at any point.

Unprotected Edges of Buildings:

 

Likelihood of occurrence: High

Severity of consequences: High

Control measures: Employers should provide guardrails, safety nets, or personal fall arrest systems for workers who are exposed to falls from unprotected edges of buildings. Guardrails should be capable of withstanding a force of at least 90 Kgs applied at any point.

 

In conclusion, a risk assessment matrix can help employers identify and prioritize the risks associated with fall hazards in the workplace and determine appropriate control measures for each hazard. By implementing engineering controls like proper Access Platforms, Walkways, Guardrails, and Skylight Covers employers can help prevent falls and protect the safety and health of their workers.

Workers should be trained on the use of equipment and emergency response in the event of a fall. Employers should regularly inspect and maintain equipment to ensure it is in good working condition.
