Risk Assessment: Electromechanical Erection

Workers Affected by Works Hazards

The levels of risk shown above help us to decide whether we should adopt measures of control, with what degree of urgency and the extent of economic effort:

RISK ACTION AND TIMING
Trivial
(T)
Although specific actions may not be necessary, not very costly preventive measures are to be considered to avoid aggravating the hazard.
Tolerable
(To)
The preventive action does not need to be improved; however, more cost-effective solutions should be considered or improvements that do not suppose a substantial economic burden.
Periodic checks are needed to ensure that the efficacy of control measures is maintained.
Moderate
(Mo)
Efforts should be made to reduce the hazard, determining the investments needed. Measurements to reduce the hazard should be implanted within a certain period of time.
When the moderate risk is associated with extremely harmful consequences, measures are to be established to control said risk (to be defined in the action plan ).
Important
(I)
Work should not commence until the hazard has been reduced.
Considerable resources may be needed to control the risk.
When the risk corresponds to a job that is being carried out, the problem must be remedied in less time than that of moderate risks.
Intolerable
(In)
Work should not commence or continue until the risk has been reduced. If it is not possible to reduce the risk, even with unlimited resources, the work must be prohibited.
This situation is equivalent to exposure to a serious or imminent risk.

Finally, the factors that can cause each of the assessed risks are discussed in detail, as well as the planned preventive and protective measures to control these risks. However, it should be noted that this Risk Assessment is general in nature and that the description and exhaustive assessment of the different risk which workers may find themselves exposed to are included in the corresponding Health and Safety Plan of the job in question.
