In the "Practical Risk Assessment by using HIRARC Tool" YouTube video, the speaker discusses the HIRARC tool as a method for analyzing risks of hazards in occupational safety and health management. The tool consists of hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk control. The speaker emphasizes the importance of defining the scope of work and identifying critical tasks before starting the assessment. Hazards are identified through various techniques, and their associated risks are evaluated based on likelihood and severity. The HIRARC tool is widely used to protect workers, businesses, and comply with the law. The speaker provides examples of risk assessments in a sawmill factory and a woodworking environment, using a risk matrix to categorize risks. Control measures, such as elimination, substitution, engineering control, administrative control, and PPE, are suggested to manage exposure to high-risk tasks. The findings of the risk assessment are recorded in writing and retained as proof of the assessment and for reviewing working practices. The process is repeated for all work activities within an organization.
