Risques-Dangers

IDENTIFIABLE RISKS/DANGERS IN SAFETY MOMENTS

An essential part to seriously prepare for the intervention

In theSafety Momentsof SOOKSOOK, the partRisk / Dangerserves to clearly identify potential dangers linked to the activity, location, support or work context.

It is not used to fill in a box “out of habit”.
It serves tomake you think before acting.

In other words, this part allows the user or team to ask the right question:

What risks are we really exposed to before we start

This is a fundamental step, because many accidents, incidents or dangerous situations do not come from a lack of action, but from a lack of anticipation.

Why this part is important

The list of risks/dangers allows you to:

• make dangers visible before intervention
• avoid forgetting
• better prepare for work
• choose the right PPE
• provide the right protection
• better frame the Safety Moment
• keep track of the real context of the intervention
• strengthen prevention and traceability

Without this step, the user can jump into action too quickly without really taking the time to identify what could be a problem.

With this step, the publication becomes much more useful, because it connects:

• the activity
• the risks
• the protections
• and the reality on the ground

A concrete approach, not theoretical

The point of this list is that it talks aboutreal situations.

We do not stick to vague formulations.
We can identify very concrete dangers such as:

• Difficult access
• Restricted access
• Working at height
• Machine in motion
• Bare part(s) under voltage
• Electrical risk
• ATEX area
• Presence of networks
• Projection
• Isolated work
• Work near machinery
• Audible noise
• Chaleur
• Dust
• Weather conditions
• Railway track nearby
• Chemical area
• Radioactivity zone
• Drowning/burial
• Confined space

This logic is very strong, because it forces us to look at the situation as it really is, and not as we imagine it.

Help with preparation before intervention

This partRisk / Dangerdirectly helps prepare for the intervention.

When the user correctly identifies the dangers, he can then better determine:

• if the intervention is feasible under the planned conditions
• if special authorizations are required
• if authorized personnel are required
• if marking is required
• if a supervisor, guidance or maneuver leader is needed
• whether to postpone or adapt the intervention
• what PPE will be needed
• what protections should be put in place

The list of risks is therefore not isolated.
It prepares all the rest of the security reasoning.

A logical basis for the choice of PPE

The partRisk / Dangeris directly linked to the fieldEPI.

For example :

• if we identify arisk of falling, you will need to think about harness, lanyard, fall protection
• if we identify achemical risk, you will need to think about gloves, mask, visor, suitable protection
• if we identify asound noise, it will be necessary to provide hearing protection
• if we identify agas zoneor aATEX zone, it will be necessary to provide suitable equipment
• if we identify aprojection, you will have to think about visor, glasses, face shield
• if we identify aisolated work, it will be necessary to think about the organization and the means of alert

The list of risks therefore also serves to make the choice of PPE fairer, more consistent and more defensible.

A more faithful reading of the reality on the ground

This part also makes it possible to keep a faithful record of actual working conditions.

When a Safety Moment mentions the dangers encountered, it then becomes easier to understand:

• in what context the intervention took place
• what constraints were present
• why certain PPE were imposed
• why certain preventive measures were taken
• why the intervention was simple, delicate or sensitive

This strongly reinforces the quality of reading publications over time.

A useful value for monitoring, analysis and traceability

Once the risks have been identified in Safety Moments, they can be exploited at several levels.

For user tracking

We can better see what types of dangers a user is most often exposed to.

For the HSE

We can better analyze:

• the most common situations
• the most common risks
• the most sensitive contexts
• activities that combine several dangers

For management

We can better understand the reality of an intervention and better reread the conditions in which it was prepared.

For traceability

We keep a more faithful memory of the work context.

In other words, this part is not only used when filling out the form.
It also serves to enrich future reading.

A broad list to cover very different situations

The richness of your list is precisely a strong point. It makes it possible to cover very varied realities:

Access/environment risks

• Difficult access
• Restricted access
• Roof access
• Bad light
• Weather conditions
• Isolated work

Risks linked to people / organization

• Authorized personnel
• Prohibited under 18 years old
• Coactivity
• Circulation
• Work near machinery

Mechanical/technical risks

• Auto-start machine
• Machine in motion
• Return point
• Turning point
• Shock/blow
• Fouettement
• Falling object
• Projection
• Vibration

Physical risks

• Audible noise
• Chaleur
• Cold / frost
• Burn

Electrical/fluid/energy risks

• Bare part(s) under voltage
• Electrical risk
• Hydraulic risk
• Pneumatic risk
• Cutoff/dangerous energy in a broader framework of reflection

Chemical/atmospheric/environmental risks

• Pollution
• Dust
• Chemical area
• Flammable area
• Gas risk zone
• ATEX area
• Fire risk
• Asbestos risk
• Radioactivity zone

Biological/health risks

• Hygiene
• Salmonelle
• Bacteriological
• Insects/animals

Specific risks of the terrain

• Confined space
• Drowning/burial
• Presence of networks
• Railway track nearby
• Cutting area
• Working at height

This diversity clearly shows that SOOKSOOK seeks to cover the reality on the ground in a very concrete way.

An essential part of security reasoning

In summary, the partRisk / Dangerin Safety Moments serves to:

• identify what can endanger
• make real constraints visible
• guide the protections to be provided
• improve the quality of preparation
• reinforce the coherence of the Safety Moment
• enrich traceability and future analysis

This is one of the most useful blocks of the form, because it transforms a simple document into a real support for reflection before action.

In theSafety Momentsof SOOKSOOK, the partRisk / Dangerallows potential dangers linked to the activity, location, support or context of intervention to be identified in a structured manner. It covers a wide range of real-life situations, such as access difficulties, coactivity, moving machines, live parts, fall risks, ATEX zones, chemicals, noise, heat, confined spaces, working near machines, the presence of networks or even isolated work. This part is essential, because it makes it possible to make the dangers visible before intervention, to guide the choice of PPE, to prepare the work more seriously, and to keep a reliable trace of the real context in which the activity was carried out.

The Risk/Danger part makes it possible to transform the Safety Moment into a real anticipation tool: we do not act first, we first identify what could endanger us.
