MAKING THE DECISION TO USE FIELD LEVEL RISK ASSESSMENT
WHAT IS FIELD LEVEL RISK ASSESSMENT?
It is a method that individuals and crews use to eliminate or minimize potential losses (toPeople, property, materials or environment) during the course of doing work.
Field Level Risk Assessment is a way for workers and crews to:
- Identify hazards associated with work tasks and assess their risks on the day of the job.
- Put controls in place so that risks are kept to an acceptable level.
Field Level Risk
Assessment is a way for companies to:
- Learn how to decrease risk and increase the reliability of work.
- Reduce the number and associated costs of incidents, accidents and injury.
Field Level Risk
Assessment has:
- Tools that help workers stop think and put controls in place.
- Training for supervisors and workers.
- Sample forms that can be used to document field level risk assessments and make improvements.
BENEFITS OF FIELD
LEVEL RISK ASSESSMENT
FOR COMPANIES
- Improved work methods and productivity
- Direct cost savings
- WCB premium reduction
- Decreased costs to pass on to customers. A competitive edge.
- Better data to improve company safety
- Reduction in the “emotional” costs of accidents and injuries
- Increased trust and confidence of workers
- Due diligence
FOR WORKERS
- Reduced probability of injuries
- More security for their families
- Improved morale
- Opportunity to make work place improvements

USING FIELD LEVEL
RISK ASSESSMENT
Making this system work in your company
will take effort. You will need to:
- Learn to do field level risk assessment.
- Develop a plan for using it in your company.
- Change existing company systems to support this new way of doing work e.g. record keeping, safety policies, reward systems, etc.
- Get people on board. This is not just the “fad of the month”.
- Make sure people are trained to use the system.
- Monitor whether people are using the field level risk assessment process.
- Deal with the “slow down to speed up” problems that may occur at first.
- Use the information that is generated in the written reports to improve the way work is done.
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF BEFORE YOU DECIDE
- Are you concerned about losses that your company has because of incidents?
- Do you think that workers can make a difference to your company’s profit and loss?
- Are you prepared to do the work to get started? E.g. Plan, train, motivates, etc.?
- Are you prepared to make changes to support using this process in your company? E.g. developing record keeping methods, giving recognition?
- Are you prepared to keep the focus on this process until people establish the habit?

to implement and manage
Element 2:
MANAGING FIELD LEVEL RISK ASSESSMENT THE MODEL AND
TOOLS
THE MODEL
What is Field Level
Risk Assessment?
- It is a mental process used by both individual supervisors and workers.
- It is a problem solving process that uses discussion on the job site.
- It includes writing down the outcomes of the discussion. This part is optional but strongly recommended.
How is Field Level
Risk Assessment done?
Supervisor and crew discuss the work to be done on the day of the job. Together
they:
- Identify the job steps.
- Identify the hazards associated with each step.
- Assess the level of risk for each hazard.
- Identify and put in place the controls to effectively control the risk The Supervisor:
- Prepares and leads Field Level Risk Assessment discussions
- Documents this information on a form prepared for this purpose.
- Submits the documentation for analysis and review.
- Makes completed form available to crew. Each worker:
- Stops and thinks about hazards, risks and controls while working. Specifically assigned personnel:
- Review the field level risk assessment data to identify ways to reduce hazards and risk on an ongoing basis.
Where is Field Level
Risk Assessment done?
- At the job site
When is Field Level
Risk Assessment done?
- At the beginning of a new job or new shift
- When new workers come on site
- When the information about the work changes (e.g. changed plans, unexpected
- characteristics of the task such as new configuration of equipment)
- Whenever job site conditions change (e.g. weather, availability of tools etc.)
Who does Field Level
Risk Assessment?
- The supervisor thinks through the process to prepare for meeting with the crew.
- The supervisor leads a discussion with the crew encouraging their analysis and feedback.
- The worker does it as a mental process as he/she works.
Why Do Field Level
Risk Assessment?
To fulfil the employer requirements of the
Occupational Health and Safety Act:
- Employers are required “to ensure as far as it is reasonably practicable” the health and safety of workers present at the work site.
- Workers are required to protect the health and safety of themselves and others.
- Employers are required to make sure workers are aware of their health and safety responsibilities.
To, reduce loss due to uncontrolled hazards. Field Level
Risk Assessment:
- Facilitates a safer working environment for people.
- Helps to minimizes or eliminates losses to property, materials and the environment.
FIELD LEVEL RISK
ASSESSMENT PROCESS
This document provides the process used to
conduct the Field Level Risk Assessment and put controls in place. It provides
Field Level Risk Assessment is integrated into other company safety
initiatives. Note that Field Level Risk Assessment does not replace other
planning and risk assessment processes. Methods such as Hazop and Job Safety
Analysis are used before construction begins. Field Level Risk Assessment
incorporates the information from these processes and adds day of the job information. Although writing down the
results of the team discussion may not appear to improve the risk assessment,
it is highly recommended. Writing things down encourages better thinking. The
information obtained from the team discussions can be used to improve work
procedures and will improve safety in the long run.
When do we initiate a Risk Assessment?

HOW TO START USING FIELD LEVEL RISK ASSESSMENT
CHALLENGES WORKERS
MAY HAVE
- Field Level Risk Assessment requires workers to stop and think before doing even routine tasks. It is easier just to work as usual. Changing any habit is hard. Thinking before doing will get easier with practice and reinforcement.
- Field Level Risk Assessment requires critical thinking skills that may be underdeveloped in some workers. As workers develop these thinking skills, they will improve their performance in many other situations.
- Field Level Risk Assessment requires individuals to accept responsibility for thinking and taking action. Many people expect to be told what to do but they like to give ideas. With input comes a greater commitment to good work.
- Doing Field Level Risk Assessment may mean challenging authority for some people. Supervisors may expect to do the thinking and the telling. They may be uncomfortable having workers tell them that something at the work site needs to be done differently. Workers may be uncomfortable playing that role. Using this process builds teams.
- Using the forms requires more paperwork that most foremen do not enjoy. The process of writing assessments requires crews to think through conditions more carefully. It also means that their ideas and suggestions are recorded and used by the company to improve safety.
NOTE:
Using the ideas “How to Get People on Board” will help to overcome many of these problems.
HOW TO GET PEOPLE ON
BOARD
Implementing Field Level Risk Assessment
represents a change for your company. Understanding what people need to motivate them to change is helpful. You can then address
their needs in your plan.
What People NEED To Start Using FIELD
LEVEL RISK ASSESSMENT
What YOU CAN DO To Get People on
Board
People need to understand that there is a serious
problem and
that doing Field Level Risk Assessment is the best solution for:
- The Company
- Themselves
Give information that describes the problem.
Gather information that answers these
questions:
- How much do accidents cost?
- How do these costs affect our competitive position in the market place?
- How will reduced costs affect company contracts and keep workers employed?
- How will Field Level Risk Assessment reduce their personal risk?
Give information about the results you
are shooting for:
- What are your objectives regarding incidents, accidents and injury?
- What will you do to make Field Level Risk Assessment an ongoing way of doing work?
People need to be involved in getting Field Level Risk Assessment
going.
Ask the “leaders” in your company to help plan and
install Field
Level Risk Assessment.
- Choose both supervisors and workers
- Choose some “hard nuts” that have influence
What People NEED To Start Using FIELD
LEVEL RISK ASSESSMENT
What YOU CAN DO To Get People on
Board
People need to know that progress toward the objectives of reduced
incidents, accidents and injury will be measured.
Choose the measures and tell people.
- Use numbers. E.g. How many forms?
- What is the reduction in accidents?
- Track quality e.g. how well are forms filled out? What is the reduction in accidents of the same type?
- Use ad hoc measures e.g. conversations on the work site asking, “How it is going?”
- Set up regular ways to report results e.g. newsletters, bulletin boards, meetings. People will use Field Level Risk Assessment, if consequences are clear and used. Put rewards/ recognition in place.
- Focus on the positive.
- Choose rewards that fit with your company’s best way of doing things.
- Use persistent feedback as consequence for not using Field Level Risk Assessment i.e. I will check to make sure that you are doing it etc.
- Deal with fears positively (e.g. Fears of speaking out).People need to be well trained and have the skills to use Field Level Risk Assessment. Train both workers and supervisors
- Use the training packages provided by COAA. (customize as you like)
- Use every opportunity to coach and reinforce the skills and behaviours.
- Make sure that supervisors constantly train their crews.
What People NEED To Start Using
FIELD LEVEL RISK ASSESSMENT What YOU CAN DO To Get People on Board
People need to get feedback on
their use of Field Level Risk Assessment. Use many opportunities to give
feedback to individuals and crews
- Use safety meetings.
- Attend tailgate sessions.
- Use performance discussions if you have regular ones.
- Use management meetings.
- Use written and verbal methods.
People need to have personal success or
see others have success using Field Level Risk Assessment.
- Produce “quick wins” and positive changes.
- Find early successes and announce them.
- Ask for examples of successes at safety and other meetings and gatherings. People need to see that management is serious about Field Level Risk Assessment
- Use the employees’ suggestions to improve tools and procedures.
- Invest in “controls” that make an ongoing difference.
- Use the process yourself.
What People NEED To Start to Use
FIELD LEVEL RISK ASSESSMENT? What YOU CAN DO To Get People on Board
People need to see that company systems,
goals and measures reinforce not compete with doing Field Level
Risk Assessments.
Coordinate other systems and measures
- Make risk assessment a primary goal, higher than getting the work done fast.
- Reward and recognize individuals and crews who do risk assessment (promotions, added responsibility, visibility, prizes, cash, etc.).
- Write policies and procedures about Field Level Risk Assessment.
- Stream-line related paper-work to make sure it doesn’t interfere with Field Level Risk Assessment.
- Set up a way to use the information from the Field Level Risk Assessment forms.
- Change the job descriptions of everyone who is involved in doing field level risk assessment. This includes administrative people and those analyze the information from the forms.
HOW TO MANAGE THE ONGOING USE OF
FIELD OF LEVEL RISK ASSESSMENT
MONITORING THE USE OF FIELD LEVEL RISK
ASSESSMENT
- Use standards and indicators
The questions “What do you want people to
do?” and “How do you want them to do it?” are important management questions.
Documented standards make these expectations clear for workers. There should be
standards about Field Level Risk Assessment for both crews and individuals.
Indicators describe how and when you will measure the performance in relation
to the standards. Here are some examples:
- At the beginning of every job, every shift, and every time there is a change in job plans or conditions, the crew will meet together and do a Field Level Risk Assessment.
Possible Indicators: You see crew meetings taking place.
- Every time a worker changes a task they do a mental Field Level Risk Assessment.
Possible Indicators: You see workers putting controls in place, reporting concerns to foremen,
stopping to think before starting a new job step.
- Every time there is a crew discussion a Field Level Risk Assessment form is filled in.
Possible Indicators: A minimum of one form is submitted for each day of crew activity.
- At the end of each month, the Field Level Risk Assessment forms will be reviewed at a joint work site committee.
Possible Indicator: Person assigned to this task submits a summary of hazards identified and
suggestions for changes to improve how work is done.
- Make monitoring a standard process
Decide how you will monitor, who will
monitor, and when you will monitor. Here are some examples:
- What you will do: Verbal reports at management and safety meetings, reports during performance discussions, spot checks at the work site, spot checks of documentation, audits, etc.
- Who: Senior management, foremen, supervisors, health and safety staff.
- When: Consistent and persistent time frames set for each activity.
- Keep records
Decide what you will record to check your
progress toward your objectives, which will do the recording and how it will be
recorded. Here are some examples:
- What: Field Level Risk Assessment Forms, monthly reports of suggestions, spot check results of crews and individuals
- Who: Management, foremen
- How: In personnel files, in data bases, hard files
- Develop a way to give feedback
Communicate individual and company
progress and performance in relation to targets and expectations.
- Methods: newsletters, memos, announcements, one on one conversations, meetings
USING FIELD LEVEL RISK
ASSESSMENT TO IMPROVE BUSINESS RESULTS
There are three ways that using Field
Level Risk Assessment can improve your business results. They are:
1. COST REDUCTION: Reduction in the number
and severity of incidents, accidents and injury
Consistent and effective use of Field
Level Risk Assessment will reduce the number of incidents, accidents and
injuries in your company. This change will reduce your costs. Consistent
expectations, training, monitoring, feedback and rewards will establish Field Level
Risk Assessment as a habitual practice for individuals and crews.
2. IMPROVEMENT IN PROFITS: Improvement in
the way work is done
Incidents happen when effective measures
are not put in place to control hazards. They are a symptom of a way of working
that is not reliable. Using written procedures, better tools or equipment, or
standards to govern working conditions can eliminate or reduce the severity of
the risks. These changes also improve reliability. Improving reliability
increases the quality and often the quantity of work that is done. Individual
and crew productivity improve.
By reviewing Field Level Risk Assessment
forms, you can identify trends and patterns of hazards.
An analysis of these trends and patterns may uncover ways to improve work methods.
To achieve this result, it is crucial that you assign specific people to gather
and analyse Field Level Risk Assessment data, solve the identified problems,
and take action
on making changes. Improvements will not happen
without effort and good management.
3. IMPROVEMENT IN COMPANY MORALE: Improved
worker commitment
Opportunity for growth and achievement,
clear expectations and personal responsibility, the ability to influence, and
working as a team are factors which influence employee motivation and
commitment. Field Level Risk Assessment provides workers with these opportunities.
Workers develop critical thinking skills, make meaningful contribution to the
company’s success, and participate in important team problem solving.
Increasing health and safety for themselves and others is perhaps the most
important and motivating
outcome of doing Field Level Risk Assessment. Although
the impact of morale is not as easily measured as cost and profit, most
managers agree there is correlation between high morale, productivity and
quality of work. Field Level Risk Assessment has the potential to improve the
attitudes people develop about work and the company.

SOME QUESTIONS FOR
YOU
- Do you know that the construction industry has the highest rate of injury accidents of all the industries?
- Have you ever computed the real cost of accidents/incidents e.g. equipment /environmental damage, lost work time, WCB premiums, poor reliability resulting in bad public relations, low morale
- Does the cost that you experience from incidents significantly affect your profits and your rating with your customers?
- Do you think that these incidents could be avoided if your workers would stop and think before they did work? After using a process that included field level risk assessment, this So Many Company experienced a 300% increase in reported incidents and a 40% decrease in serious injuries.
- Do you wish you had a new way to work with crews in your company to improve your accident figures?
