Apa itu risk register dan bagaimana operator berkontribusi padanya?

Risk Register adalah dokumen living database yang mencatat semua identified hazards, risk assessment, dan control measures untuk suatu project atau operation.

Komponen Risk Register:

• Hazard ID: Unique identifier untuk tracking
• Hazard description: What is the hazard?
• Location: Where can it occur?
• Activity: When/during what task?
• Consequence: Potential outcome (injury type, severity)
• Existing controls: Current measures in place
• Risk rating: Before dan after control (residual risk)
• Additional controls needed: Gap analysis
• Action owner: Who responsible?
• Status: Open, in-progress, closed
• Review date: When to reassess

Contoh Entry untuk Excavator Operation:

Hazard #E-047: Contact dengan underground electrical cable

• Location: Excavation area Zone 3
• Activity: Trenching untuk foundation
• Consequence: Electrocution (fatality), equipment damage
• Initial Risk: High (L=3, S=5, Risk=15)
• Existing Controls: Utility map review, SIO requirement
• Additional Controls: GPR scan, hand dig within 0.5m, spotter assigned
• Residual Risk: Medium (L=2, S=5, Risk=10)
• Owner: Site supervisor
• Status: Controls implemented
• Review: Weekly atau when condition change

How Operator Contribute:

1. Hazard Identification Input

• Operator adalah frontline expert - paling tahu actual condition
• Share observation: "I noticed ground di area B sangat soft, bisa stuck atau sink"
• Participate dalam hazard ID workshop

2. Control Effectiveness Feedback

• Report jika existing control tidak practical atau tidak working
• Example: "Exclusion zone marking tidak visible dari cabin - need better signage"

3. Suggest Additional Controls

• Operator punya practical insight
• Example: "Bisa install reversing camera untuk better visibility"

4. Near-Miss Reporting

• Every near-miss update risk register
• Show hazard masih ada atau control inadequate

Risk Register Review Cycle:

• Daily: Pre-shift review oleh supervisor dengan crew
• Weekly: Safety meeting - discuss new/changed risks
• Monthly: Formal review oleh safety committee
• As-needed: When incident, near-miss, atau scope change

Operator Access:

• Risk register harus accessible ke operator - tidak locked di office
• Posting di notice board, digital app, atau hard copy di crew room
• Operator encouraged untuk read dan understand risks relevant ke their work

Risk register bukan dokumen statis untuk audit - it's working tool for daily decision making!
