HSE

During the speaking class I spoke about HSE and I would like to documented here. It means Health Safety Environment, it is very important in all industries, factories and contractors. The reputation of any of these industries are depending on how many fatalities or injuries they have per year.

Normally in HSE department they follow the followings to reduce the risk in any job.

1. Identify the hazard. Hazard which is the potential cause physical injury or damage to health of people or damage property or environment.
2. Assess Risk. the risk is the multiplication of  Probability by the Severity

           Risk = Prob. X Sev.

           Where Probability = likelihood of accident to happened

                      Severity = outcome of this accident

And they try to reduce the outcome of this equation as much as possible by applying the required measure control

3. Measure Control is by applying the safety hierarchy of trying first to eliminate the hazard if not then replace it (substitution), then using engineering, procedures and sign boards and then the required Person Protective Equipment PPE.
