WORKSAFE

Task Risk Assessment (TRA), also commonly referred to as Hazard Identification and Task Risk Assessment (HITRA), is a collective term that encompasses all activities involved in identifying hazards and evaluating risk to make certain that risks to employees, the public, or the environment are consistently controlled within an organization’s risk tolerance. The WorkSafeⓇ control of work task risk assessment (TRA) module is a market-leading solution that offers you key and proven benefits over other solutions available on the market.

Features:

Intuitive and systematic risk assessment that enables the user to follow a systematic process of conducting a task risk assessment and also means less training and greater efficiency, allowing users to progress much faster through the control of work process than has previously been possible.

Effective risk management enabling the understanding of the strength of the control measures as the residual risk figure should show a decrease from the initial risk.

Hierarchy of controls allow for the selection of preventative control measures that will improve the quality and standard of the task risk assessment, which will, in turn, reduce risks on site.

Stage gate management provides an additional check and highlights the importance of task risk assessment in driving the control of work process.

Intelligent controls allow users to concentrate on the creation of a thorough, well-thought-out and executed task risk assessment that automatically includes the associated controlling documentation without worrying about how to use the software solution.

Safety first approach promotes thought and challenges the users to ensure that task risk assessments are always relevant for the task being risk assessed and not simply being copied from another similar task.

Routine duties improves efficiency by use of routine duty templates without sacrificing accountability and control.

The WorkSafe® Permit to Work (PTW) module is a formal recorded process used to control work which is identified as potentially hazardous. The permit to work module consists of several features designed to optimise the PTW processes.

Integrated permit management, which enables the preparatory information developed in the WorkSafe® task risk assessment module to be easily replicated in the permit and supplementary certificates, therefore increasing efficiency.

Clear task management, meaning, that the permits identify specific work control requirements for specific tasks; this enables the permit authorities (PAS) to include specific hazards and control measures that are specific to the task.

Area authority control of affected areas provide an additional level of protection thereby ensuring that a work task is controlled by the person(s) who can be affected by the associated work scope.

Industry best practice ensures that our clients can be assured that implementation of the WorkSafe® system will exceed regulatory and legislative compliance whilst also implementing industry best practice.

The WorkSafe® energy isolation module ensures that hazardous equipment is properly isolated and is not able to be started up again prior to the completion of maintenance or servicing work.

Management of isolations is both a procedure and a software module. The LOTO/energy isolation procedure describes how electrical energy and piping system pressure and contents are isolated. The software module reduces label writing bureaucracy and increases control of the isolation, partial and final de-isolation of plant.

The energy isolation module consists of several features designed to help you to optimize the underlying processes:

An isolation process based on the UKCS health and safety executive (HSE) guidance document “the safe isolation of plant and equipment” (HSG253) and meets all regulatory requirements worldwide.

A proven secure, functional and safe system, which has been deployed on many client sites worldwide and is used by a multinational and multicultural workforce.

A comprehensive solution that manages the complete isolation process for all disciplines, enabling the development of an electrical and mechanical isolation plan, utilizing line diagrams and p&ids to create an isolation certificate which can use a comprehensive lockout box process including cascading. The system manages the complete isolation process from isolation planning, isolation execution, de-isolation and return to service. It also incorporates a sanction to test process.

A fully interlinked system in ensuring that no isolations can be removed while a work permit is currently live on-site.

The WorkSafe® operational risk assessment (ORA) module ensures that robust arrangements are in place to identify and evaluate major accident hazards (MAH), and to specify measures taken to ensure that major accident risks are controlled to ensure compliance with the relevant statutory provisions and to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP).

The operational risk assessment module consists of several features designed to help you optimize the underlying processes:

Innovative management of abnormal operating conditions: The ORA module utilises innovative risk assessment techniques for evaluating and mitigating the risk of continuing to operate under abnormal operating conditions. It allows the operator to determine whether it is safe to operate when an abnormal operating condition occurs.

Mitigation control measures allows leadership to assess the risk and identify mitigation control measures that act as a bridge until the abnormal operating condition is removed (by isolating or shutting down the equipment, plant or if necessary the site), resolved or repaired, or approved as part of a permanent design change.

Regulatory compliance feature providing the operator with assurance that the system is robust and in line with the latest industry regulations.

Integrated approach to risk monitoring with other key WorkSafe® control of work modules and therefore allows for more informed decision-making, as site leadership has full visibility of the actual residual risk if continuing to operate under the abnormal operating conditions.

The WorkSafe® conflict manager module provides a user-friendly overview of planned and ongoing work activities to allow users to avoid conflicting work activities.

User-friendly: The WorkSafe® conflict manager module is designed to look and feel like a Microsoft Outlook calendar to enhance system familiarity for users. A familiar system view will help users understand the system and enable them to feel comfortable with applying the system functionality.

Simple conflict management: Conflict manager allows privileged system users to move work to avoid conflicting work activities at every stage of the planning process up to ‘Issued’. The flexibility of the system ensures work can be scheduled in the most effective way to minimise the risks of conflicting work.

Operational security: Users can only utilize the capabilities of the WorkSafe® conflict manager module if they have been granted the appropriate system permissions. Utilizing security management of user roles ensures that only those users who have the appropriate level of system knowledge and site responsibility can reschedule work to be completed.

The WorkSafe® graphical planner module provides a multi-level visual overview of permit and non-permit maintenance work to assist with planning work to be undertaken and to minimize conflicts.

User-friendly: The WorkSafe® graphical planner module provides a user-friendly tool that gives clients the ability to inspect visually planned and ongoing work across their facility. It provides a visual overview allows for work planning to be conducted more effectively as users can see at a glance where work is being performed or is scheduled to be performed.

Multi-level overview: Graphical planner includes both top view and side view plans, which allows users to ‘drill-down’ through a site. Multi-level plans allow users to locate work on a site visually and understand exactly where it is being performed.

Filter views: Graphical planner allows a user to filter which information is displayed on screen. It allows filtering the view on Graphical Planner to show only the information pertinent to the users ensures that visual clutter is reduced, and that users can focus on the key information they require.
