HAZCON and HAZDEM studies are intended to identify the hazards and assess
the risks likely from significant installation/construction and demolition work, and
ensure that practical safeguards are in place that minimizes the likelihood of
accidents.
They may be applied to both new plant work, and maintenance or modification
work and would normally be considered following Hazard Study 3 stage.
The HAZCON and HAZDEM studies are intended to be flexible so that it can be
used efficiently for both small internal work and large construction projects. It is
critical therefore that the Project Manager (or his nominated deputy), are
competent to make a judgment on the extent of the information, documentation,
and additional consultation required to minimize construction/installation risks.
Where external contractors are being used in the installation and construction
work this may result in additional costs to implement safeguards identified in the
HAZCON.
The Project Manager (or his nominated deputy) is responsible for ensuring that
HAZCON and HAZDEM are carried out and implemented.
1.0.1 Team
For small on-site work the Project Manager (or his nominated deputy) may carry
out the study alone, or with the construction or demolition crew.

A risk assessment can then be made, and where necessary safeguard actions
proposed and implemented.

The following sections 1.1 to 1.6 describe how to conduct a HAZCON / HAZDEM
study
(a) HAZCON
(5) A description of the site, location, activities present, and site procedures
(e.g. ’Permit To Work’) that have to be followed.
(6) Details of other construction and demolition work by other groups in the
vicinity.
(8) Timetable, including start and completion dates, normal hours of work and
no-go limitations.
(9) Conditions and regulations that the work shall be completed under,
(including training, safety inductions, site entry/exit restraints, and
commercial aspects).
(11) Other information as deemed relevant by the Project Manager (or his
nominated deputy).
(b) HAZDEM
The Project Manager (or his nominated deputy) should prepare a specification of
the work required.
(2) Details of the contacts and individuals that will be responsible for
management and supervision of the work.
(4) A description of the site, location, activities present, and site procedures
(e.g. ’Permit To Work’) that have to be followed.

The method statement informs the Project Manager how the work
will be completed in accordance with all the requirements, and the
level of consideration given to safety.

The sequence of events or operations for the work should be considered one by
one, and those considered requiring actions are recorded and noted on a
HAZCON Action List (worksheet x1).
Note: On large projects the Project Manager (or his nominated deputy) should
judge the scale of the HAZCON study and where worksheet x1 is unlikely
to be suitable, and then the HAZCON Review worksheet (worksheet w1)
is available as an alternative.

The method statement should be analyzed to identify any hazards and these
assessed to determine what safeguards are required.
The sequence of events or operations for the work should be considered one by
one, and those considered requiring actions are recorded and noted on a
HAZDEM Action List (worksheet x2).
Note: On large projects the Project Manager (or his nominated deputy) should
judge the scale of the HAZDEM study and where worksheet x2 is unlikely
to be suitable, and then the HAZDEM Review worksheet (worksheet w2)
is available as an alternative.

Monitoring should be carried out on a regular basis, appropriate to the scale and
type of the work.
Checklists should be drawn up that cover all SHE requirements, and a system in
place for prompt attention to non-conformances. These should be recorded on
the Hazard Study Action Review (worksheet h).
Complete monitoring exercises should be filed by the Project Manager (or his
nominated deputy), and retained in the SSHE dossier.
At the completion of the study the following key activities should have been
completed:
