Hazard Identification & Risk Assesment in New Chassis Assembly Line

Article Preview

Abstract:

Chassis assemblies in any automobile industries are vulnerable to several hazards. In order to reduce the hazards we need to study and carry out Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment in New Chassis assembly to provide engineering solutions for preventing Accidents / dangerous occurrences and to evaluate the Risk. We have conducted many inspections and observation in the chassis assembly of an automobile industry. From our observations and findings we identified nearly 20 intolerable risks in the chassis line, for which the intolerable risks are converted into tolerable through small projects and those which cannot be converted are reduced through Safe Job Procedures (SJP). All the significant risks are controlled by Occupational Health & Safety Management Program, Standard operating procedures & Operation Control Procedure. From the project, the hazard is minimized or eliminated which ensures safety in the assembly line as well as the safety of workers.
