NEBOSH GC3 guide With knowledge of IGC1 & GC2, inspect a workplace and submit the report. Experienced candidate can select his or her own site anywhere in the world. Fresher can select industries such as Kitchen, Warehouse, Shopping Malls, food industry, manufacturing, Hospitals, Construction sites –commercial/residential/ metro projects/ highway project, Business Park etc., but make sure activity are happening, people, equipment, tools used and high risks are found. OBSERVATION section (30 marks) Hazard & consequences 20 uncontrollable hazard + good practices, but total observations not more than 30 different range of hazards Time scale: Short term & long term Range of issues Sample: Hazard & consequence Short & long term action Timescale Hazard: Full acetylene cylinders were left unattended under direct sunlight in the fabrication yard in M1 area, and no storage area found, with grinding nearby Consequence: Storage of compressed gas cylinders under direct sun increase the pressure due to temperature and can result in explosion and fire hazard. Spark from grinding operation can be source of ignition, that injures and kill the workers in the vicinity when it results in fire Short term: 1.Inform the concerned supervisor to move to shady area 2.TBT about the consequence of fire risk 3.Alert the workers nearby & insisted to report if they see likewise Long term: 1.Construct a designated cylinder storage area 2.Training/ Re –training for workers, safety & supervisors regarding compressed gas cylinders & hot work 3.Daily site inspection system to be implemented 4.Purchase of fire retardant blankets to isolate grinding operation 5.Displinary action system to be implemented to punish the violators 5 min 1 day 1 hour 1 month 2 weeks 1 week 3 days 1 week Electricity Ergonomics Falling objects Fire / Explosion First Aid Good Practice Hazardous substances Housekeeping Information Machinery Manual Handling Noise Obstructions/Trailing Cables PPE No Signage Vehicle/Routes Vibration Welfare / Hygiene Work at Height Work Environment Pressure / Stress Aggression/violence Radiation Slip/trip Categories of hazard: physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic & psychological and any other appropriate observation without repetition of the above Introduction (5 mark) You are expected explain where, when and why the inspection was carried out Location Type of Inspection Date and Time Size of location Total Workforce Access and Egress Emergency Routes Outdoor/Indoor Activity Equipment Involved Substance Involved Mobile Equipment Environment Services Shift patterns Weather Inspection Method shall involve § Observation / Verification of Documents § Questionnaires § Interview Executive summary (5 mark) • Should be written after you have completed the rest of report but should be inserted after Introduction. • Provide concise overview of the important points and summarize the main conclusions and recommendations. • Highlight the major issue, its Consequence and Recommendations • Mention about the other issues in observation also • Provide sufficient information to convince busy manager of the need to read your full report and, crucially act on / implement your recommendations. Main findings (30 mark) Highlight 5 high risk hazard from observation in terms of highly potential to cause harm / property damage.Do not include/duplicate everything you identified in the observation sheet. Prioritise the issues / range of hazards your manager needs to be aware of. Main findings must be concise, persuasive, readable and highly selective in terms of action by management • Explain each of the 5 high risk hazard with sufficient details and its consequence • The report should Identify what corrective actions/recommendations must be taken with an indication of cost implications • Explain why corrective action is necessary with references to ü Legal argument: Emphasis on the breaches (international & national legislation) occurred. Write the breach of law correctly mentioning the specific section & interpretation & the reason for the breach. ü Economic arguments : In economic, write the financial implications including the possible costs to organization on not taking action ü Moral argument: Emphasis on the poor staff morale, staff turnover, poor reputation etc • The benefits that happens if the recommendations are done Examples of major hazards: Work at height – Fall from height. Electricity – Electrocution Fire – Explosion Excavation – soil collapse, cave-in etc., Machinery – Crush, Ejection etc., Sample main finding: Risk of poor storage of compressed cylinder: As per the observation 1, during the site inspection in the M1 area, it was found that full acetylene cylinders were left unattended in the direct sunlight in the fabrication yard in M1 area, on further query it was understood that the workplace doesn’t have a designated storage area ,Moreover its observed that grinding, which is a spark ejecting hot work activity was carried in its vicinity. This condition could result in fire as the compressed gas cylinders under direct sun increase the pressure due to temperature and can result in explosion and also Spark from grinding operation can be source of ignition, that injures and kill the workers in the vicinity if it results in fire. So, with immediate effect a designated storage area should be constructed, apparently the cylinders to be kept under shade, Moreover awareness to be given to people & adequate supervision to be done. All this would account to a cost of INR 38,000. If the above recommendations are not complied, then it could likely to result in an accident, which could drain the financial resource of the organization by the direct and indirect cost that could account up to approximately INR 85,000 along with the severe legal implications like prohibition of activity along with fines to the court & even imprisonments to the management members as it breaches the international standard like ILO C155 Occupational Safety and Health, convention, 1981 (Article 24) - says that “ employer shall require to provide proper storage for compressed gas cylinders and fire protection procedures for safe place without risk to health along with the national legislation, Indian Factories Act 1948 (Section 21) – represents the proper storage for compressed gas cylinders. Unavailability of storage are and ignorance of the consequences were the reasons for the breach Apart from the above argument, the inherent issue is that it affects the morale of the employee which could lead to increase in staff turnover, thereby reducing the safety culture and it affects the reputation of the organization that could ultimately result in poor production and loss of new projects and client, as safety background will be assessed by the clients. If these recommendations are done, then it reflects in a better safety standard & culture among employees, reducing the financial losses that are mention above. Conclusion (15 mark) Conclusion is a concise Summary of your Main Findings. Do not introduce new issues or additional factors. Conclusions should emphasize more on suggestions to convince the manager of the need to take action. • Mention the good practices seen during inspection • Clear and concise summary of your main findings, including prioritized recommendation. • Discuss why the organization should consider your recommendations and why Health and safety needs to be managed properly. • Explain how the organisation will benefit Morally, legally and Economically on considering your recommendation Recommendations (15 mark ) • Priority of recommendations should be in order • Cost must be realistic • Cost parameters must be detailed • Appropriate prioritization to be made • Target date should match with observation timescale • All observation identified in main findings should be bought here • Review date to be some date after the last target date based on sufficient time to assess the effectiveness of controls uploads/Finance/ nebosh-gc3-guide-observation-section-30-marks.pdf
