3. Answer in English or Malay.
4. Attached rubric will act as marking guidance.

HIRARC is a compound word which is made up of three consecutive activities running one after the
other. The activities consist Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control. HIRARC is done
to determine the type of activity which then identifies the hazards source so that risk of accidents is
obtained, then the risk control is performed to reduce the hazard exposure on each work activity.

SECTION A

Based on Figure 1 and Figure 2, identify all potential hazard in order to ensure working environment
always in a conducive condition. Please circle with BLUE pen on picture of the hazard and use form in
Table 1 and Table 2 to conduct the analysis on HIRARC.

Assess the risks by utilizing appropriate technique and recommend control measure for mitigating the
identified hazards. Risk control should be in accordance to the sequence of hierarchy of control. You
may use additional form if necessary.

 SECTION B

Read and understand the situations below. Then answer the questions. You may attach a figure or
diagram if necessary.

SITUATION 1

Office of Ministry B has carried out renovation at the office. Renovation of this office includes all
sections. Contractors involved have been called to carry out installation works in 'partition' and to
have all electrical connection points of the officer workstation. The contractor is working normal office
hours, and it involves the officers on duty at the office. Due to no explanation given to contractor
workforce of Conduct Procedure renovation, thus, it is why the department is not organized with items
like 'partition', the wire is not structured and exposed, the socket is open, tools and trades scattered
everywhere. Unfortunately, an officer accidentally tripped and fell down to the floor. He had suffered
wounds to the head and was sent to the clinic by other officers.

Questions:
1. List hazards found in the above situation and explain the impact to an employee of the
Ministry B.

Exposed Electrical Wires

Hazard: The exposed electrical wires pose a risk of eleectric shock or short-circuits
Impact: An employee could be electrocuted, leading to injuries ranging from minor shocks to severe
burns or even fatalities.

Disorganized Work Environtment

Hazard: The disorganized work environment can lead to confusion, difficulty in locating necessasy
equipment, and potential hazards not being addressed.
Impact: Reduced efficiency, increased risk of accidents, and delays in the renovation process.

Unfinished Partitions:

Hazard: Incomplete partitions may not provide adequate privacy or state.

Impact: Lack of privacy may lead to distractions, reduced productivity, and the potential for visual and
auditory disturbances affecting employee

2. List the safety precautions that must be taken by the Ministry B

a) Provide Adequate Lighting:

Ensure that renovation area is well-lit to improve visibility and reduce and the chances of accidents
due to poor lighting conditions.

b) Enforce PPE Usage

Make it mandator for all workers and offices present in the renovation area to wear appropriatte personal
protective equipment, including helmets, safety shoes, and high-visibility vests

c) Provide Proper Communication and Training:

Ensure that contractors and their workforce are provided with clear instructions and a through
understanding of the Conduct Procedure for renovation before starting work
SITUATION 2

Ashraf works on an engine assembly line. In his job he has to use a handheld impact wrench to fit a
temporary adapter to an engine. The assembly line makes up to 2400 engines a day and it takes
approximately 3 seconds to tighten each adapter.

As well as the risk from using a vibrating tool, Ashraf often had to adopt poor postures to reach
some parts of the engine. He had to repeatedly stretch out his arm and constrain his posture while
tightening the adapter. After some time on the job, Ashraf found he was leaving work with shoulder
and neck pain.

One tea break, Ashraf’s line manager saw him rubbing his neck and shoulder and recognised the
pain could be due to the type of work Ashraf was doing. The line manager told the company health
and safety representative about what she had seen.

Questions:
1. List down the action that must be taken by the company?

a) Implement Ergonomic Changes:

Based on the risk assessment findings, the company should intoduce ergonomic improvements Ashraf's
work station. This may include the use of adjustable workstations, tools, or equipment that reduce strain
and discomfort during the assembly process.

b) Rotate Job Tasks:

Consider rotating workers between different tasks on the assembly line to prevent prologed exposure to
the same repetitive movements and postures.

c) Introduce Workstation Design Changes:

Modify the layout and design of the assembly line to minimize the need for employees to strech outor
adopt poor postures.

2. State what are the result after the modification has been done?

Reduced Worker Discomfort:

Ashraf's neck and shoulder pain may be alleviated or significantly reduced as a result of the
modification, making him more comfortable and less prone to injury.

Improved Ergonomics:

The modification may involve changes to the work process or tools such as providing ergonomic
equipment or adjusting the assembly line to allow for better posture and less strain on Ashraf' neckand
shoulder.

Increased Productivity:

When workers are more comfortable and experience less physical strain, they tend to work more
efficiently.This can lead to increased productivity and fewer disruptions in the assembly line
