Health, Safety & Environmental Bulletin No 265
M Mott – 15 September 2011
Eye Injury
Please see enclosed self explanatory HSE alert received from ExxonMobil.
This incident shows the importance of the Last Minute Risk Assessment (LMRA), even
if the method statement / JSA is fully complied with there may be site specific
conditions that need attention.
Site conditions can change during the works, and regular LMRA's should be carried out
to ensure that the new conditions have not introduced new hazards.
Our JSA's document the best practices for carrying out the works, and must be complied
with (unless site conditions require more stringent controls which should be documented
on Clearance Certificates). If you feel that a different method would be better, or have
any feedback on the JSA's, contact your supervisor.
Risk management is a big step towards accident prevention; however, it is dependent on the risk firstly
being identified, then controlled. We need safety awareness to be instinctive and form an integral part
of both our working and home lives; it is this, in turn, that may save the lives of others. Remember: if
shared, risks can be mitigated before they pose a threat.
If you have any queries regarding the Safety Bulletin content or require further information please
contact any staff member of Xmo Strata Ltd.
