The Possible Exposure To Carbon Monoxide Risk Assessment includes the following job steps and related potential hazards:
- 1. Preparation
- Potential of carbon monoxide exposure
- Incorrect handling of materials and equipment
- 2. Equipment Familiarisation
- Not knowing proper use of equipment
- Potential for carbon monoxide leak during operation
- 3. Area Setup
- Poor ventilation leading to risk of carbon monoxide accumulation
- Inadequate workspace setup increasing chance of gas build-up
- 4. Safety Checks
- Machinery faults causing CO leaks
- Usage of unfit safety gear
- 5. Operation Start
- CO infection during ignition
- Incorrect usage of controls causing accidental spills or leaks
- 6. Regular Inspection
- Faults overlooked during inspection leading to CO leaks
- Stress or fatigue from extended work period
- 7. Continuous Operation
- Continuous exposure to low levels of CO
- Mechanical failure leading to CO escape
- 8. Break Periods
- Inactive machines still omitting CO
- Staff leaving CO sources unattended
- 9. Operation Resume
- Re-exposure after break periods
- Ignoring symptoms of potential CO poisoning
- 10. Final Inspection
- Workers' contact with CO filled locations
- Overlooked machinery defects leading to last-minute leaks
- 11. Equipment Shutdown
- Remaining CO in system during power down
- Improper shutdown leading to CO discharge
- 12. Packing Up
- Handling objects exposed to CO
- Inappropriate disposal of CO infused waste
- 13. Reporting
- Failure to report CO exposure incidents
- Miscommunication about CO related dangers
- 14. Review of Safety Procedures
- Noncompliance or complacency about safety measures
- Inadequate periodic review increasing long term CO risk
- 15. Post-Work Health Checks
- Overlooked health deteriorations caused by CO
- Delayed or missing regular health checks for CO exposure
