DEFINITION (Consequence Category: Harm to People)
Slight health effects: Not affecting work performance or causing
disability, e.g. non toxic dusts (as an acute hazard)
Minor health effects: Agents capable of minor health effects which are
reversible, e.g. irritant agents, defatting agents, many food poisoning
bacteria
Major health effects: Agents capable of irreversible health damage
without loss of life, e.g. noise, poor manual handling tasks, hand/arm
vibration, chemicals causing systemic effects, sensitisers
‘One to three fatalities or Permanent Total Disability: Agents capable of
irreversible damage with serious disability or death, e.g. corrosives,
known human carcinogens (small exposed population), sensitisers,
where the onset of sensitisation threatens continuing employment,
heat, cold, psychological stress
Multiple fatalities: Agents with the potential to cause multiple
fatalities, e.g. chemicals with acute toxic effects (hydrogen sulphide,
carbon monoxide), known human carcinogens (large exposed
population)

Health hazards of primary concern
Cause fatalities in the short or long term
e.g. infectious diseases (short term), carcinogenic substances (long
term)
Expose the company to substantial future social and monetary
liabilities
e.g. noise induced hearing loss, repetitive strain injury, psychological
stress
Cause minor health effects which could cause severe business
disruption
e.g. major food poisoning outbreak
HRA-2 Slide 16

ALARP Definition
Definitions of ALARP
“ balancing the reduction in risk against the time, difficulty
and cost of achieving it”
This level represents the point, objectively assessed, at
which the time, difficulty and cost of further reduction
measures become unreasonably disproportional to the
additional risk reduction obtained.
HRA-2 Slide 73
HRA Workshop
ALARP
ALARP is influenced by the following factors:
risk to be avoided
sacrifice involved in taking measures to avoid the risk
(money, time and trouble)
comparison of the two
HRA-2 Slide 74
HRA Workshop
ALARP- rule of thumb
List the measures that have been taken to reduce the risk
Go on to identify an additional option which might be
introduced to reduce the risk further
Give reasons why this additional control is not adopted

HRA-2 Slide 77
HRA Workshop
What remedial action?
Is risk to health ALARP?
Yes, when only a small reduction in risk would require an
unreasonable amount of time, trouble, difficulty or cost.
Otherwise
Select appropriate additional controls/barriers considering
Hierarchy of controls including recovery preparedness measures
Other measures like: measurements, monitoring, health surveillance,
maintenance of controls, instruction & training
Priorities for implementation
HRA-2 Slide 78
HRA Workshop
Exposure measurements
Identify who may be exposed to health risks
Identify the relevant exposures to individuals in the
workplace
Assess your work environment to determine when
you need to do exposure monitoring/measurements

HRA-2 Slide 80
HRA Workshop
Purpose of exposure measurements
Verification of the efficiency of control measures
Justification for additional control measures
Choice of control measures (eg for noise control)
To establish and document historical records of exposure
levels for all workers
To ensure and demonstrate compliance with regulatory
and other exposure guidelines
Epidemiological studies or investigating reported health
effects
To alleviate employee concerns
HRA-2 Slide 81
HRA Workshop
Objectives of exposure measurement
Baseline - to define range and distribution of exposure for
defined jobs
Worst case – to identify potentially high exposure
Detailed – when baseline study provides insufficient data
Routine – periodic exposure monitoring to check that control
measures remain effective
Compliance - to ensure that exposure is below regulatory and
other guidelines
HRA-2 Slide 82
HRA Workshop
Monitoring methods
Personal Monitoring
worker exposure with normal work procedure
breathing zone for inhalation exposure
near ear for noise exposure
full shifts / task samples
Area (Environmental) Monitoring
contaminant concentration in work area
plant conditions
effectiveness of controls
HRA-2 Slide 83
HRA Workshop
Monitoring methods
Biological Monitoring
Determine body absorption of potentially hazardous
substance from all sources
Measure changes in the composition of body fluid,
tissue or expired air
May be used to indicated inadequate control, improper
work procedure
Provides accurate information about the absorbed
dose of a substance in the body
Not all substances have a method or a BLV (biological
Limit Value)

Equipment for measuring chemical exposure
Factors to consider
sampling objective
physical and chemical characteristics of chemical
presence of other chemical(s)
required accuracy
type of samples (personal vs area)
duration of samples
HRA-2 Slide 86
HRA Workshop
Sampling and analytical methods
Appropriate validated methods should be used
Acceptable methods are published by US NIOSH,
OSHA, UK - HSE.
Exposure records must be complete, traceable and
stand up to legal scrutiny

Health Surveillance
Monitoring and health surveillance aims to (periodically)
assess exposures and health in order to
Confirm the effectiveness of existing control measures
Collect data for the detection and evaluation of hazards to health
Confirm compliance with predetermined criteria
Required by law
HRA-2 Slide 92
HRA Workshop
Monitoring and Surveillance
In order to perform monitoring and surveillance, the
following tasks are necessary:
Define objectives
Identify suitable methods (sensitivity, specificity, ethical, non-invasive)
Identify norms/ means to interpret the data
Plan and evaluate the program
Collect data
Analyse and interpret data
Report actions
Communicate with various audiences of surveillance data users
HRA-2 Slide 93
