    MOE RISK ASSESSMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

    Introduction

    1. The Risk Assessment Management System (RAMS) provides schools with a useful

    tool to systematically identify possible hazards of an activity and take measures toreduce and/or manage the potential risks involved to an acceptable level.

    2. RAMS is effective only when potential risks are consciously evaluated before,during and after the activity. In doing so, deliberate management decisions are taken

    to reduce and/or manage potential risks so as to ensure the safety of participants.

    3. RAMS entails a 5-step management process (see Diagram 1). It is neither a one-offevent nor an administrative exercise. It is a dynamic, evolving, and on-going process

    that requires changes and adaptations according to the nature of activity and/or the

    prevailing circumstances in-situ.

    Risk Assessment Team

    6. RAMS is never a one man show; it should be conducted by a team who collectively

    has adequate knowledge of the activity and the environment involved. The overall

    teacher-in-charge should be familiar with RAMS processes.

    7. The school should:

    a. appoint a competent person leading a team of personnel, including service

    providers (if applicable), involved in the activity to conduct the RAMS;

    b. ensure that the risk control measures are implemented without undue delay

    after the completion of RAMS;

    c. inform all persons, including the participants, involved in the activity, of therisks, and the means to eliminate or, where possible, minimise, the risks;

    d. endorse and approve the RAMS completed;

    e. integrate the findings of the RAMS in the documented plan for the activity.

    g. review and update the risk assessment whenever there is a significant changein the activity, or after an incident involving the activity process; and

    h. ensure that all personnel involved (i.e. the team) are aware of the riskassessment for the activity they carry out.

    8. The team leader should:

    a. have adequate knowledge of risk assessment;

    b recommend appropriate risk control measures to eliminate reduce and/or

    5-step Management Process of RAMS

    11. Prior to conducting a RAMS, reference should be made to the existing guidelines

    and previous records of work for the activity. These may include:

    a. School Safety Handbook;

    b. Standard Procedures for Schools in Reporting Plans for Overseas Excursionsinvolving Pupils and Staff;

    c. Standard Procedures for Schools in Reporting a Serious Incident Involving

    Pupils and Staff during an Overseas Excursion;

    d. Framework Agreement on Schools Overseas Educational Tours;

    e. After-Action Review, school policies.

    12. Step 1: Hazard IdentificationIdentify all possible hazards and potential incidents/accidents associated with the

    hazard(s) identified.

    13. Step 2: Risk Assessment

    a. Assessing the potential severity of the injury

    i. Severity is the degree or extent of injury or harm caused byaccidents/incidents arising from identified hazards. Severity isclassified into 5 categories: Insignificant,Minor, Moderate, Major

    and Catastrophic (Table 1).

    Table 1. Severity of injury, risk score and description

  • 8/6/2019 FCTC 2011 RAMS

    4/28

    Major 4

    Serious/extensive injury (e.g. amputations,

    major fractures, multiple injuries, acute

    poisoning and fatal diseases), incur major

    financial loss, severe environmental damage

    Catastrophic 5

    May result in death or large number of serious

    injuries, incur huge financial loss,environmental disaster

    ii. As the severity of the injuries (e.g. lacerations, fractures, or fatalinjury) refers to the intrinsic or inherent nature of the adverse effect

    that may result from the hazard, it does not depend on the controls in

    place. Therefore, in assigning the severity level, the existing controlsshould not be taken into account.

    b. Determining the likelihood of the occurrence of incidents/accidents arising

    from the identified hazards

    i. Likelihood of occurrence of an accident and/or incident is also

    classified into 5 categories: Unlikely, Seldom, Occasional, Likelyand Frequent (Table 2).

    Table 2. Likelihood of occurrence, risk score and description

    Likelihood Risk Score Description

    Unlikely 1 Unlikely to occur

    Seldom 2 Not likely to occur but possible

    Occasional 3 May occur in time

    14. Step 3: Risk Control Options and Decisions

    a. Based on the risk level determined in Step 2 (Risk Matrix), risk controlsshould be developed to eliminate/reduce the risk level to an acceptable level.

    This can be done by reducing the Severity and/or Likelihood.

    7 8 High Risk Not

    acceptable

    High Risk level must be reduced to at least Medium

    Risk before activity commences.

    Risk control measures should not be interim and

    should not be overly dependent on personal

    protective equipment or appliances. If need be, thehazard should be eliminated before activity

    commences.

    Immediate management intervention is required

    before activity commences.

    5 6Medium

    RiskModeratelyacceptable

    A careful evaluation of the hazards should be carried

    out to ensure that the risk level is reduced to as lowas is practicable within a defined time period.

    Interim risk control measures, such as administrative

    controls, may be implemented.

    Management attention is required.

    2 4 Low Risk Acceptable

    No additional risk control measures may be needed.However, frequent review may be needed to ensure

    that the risk level assigned is accurate and does not

    increase over time.

  • 8/6/2019 FCTC 2011 RAMS

    7/28

    b. After implementing the control measures, there is a need to analyse, evaluate anddecide whether the risk level has been lowered to an acceptable level.

    Communication

    17. Throughout the risk management process, communication amongst stakeholders at everystep is essential. Communication:

    a. engages and involves people to contribute to the risk management process;

    b. provides clarity on the risks, processes, control measures, perceptions etc;

    c. helps stakeholders to make informed decisions; and

    d. enables stakeholders to know the risks they face and the appropriate control

    measures to implement to reduce and/or manage the risks.

    Working with the W Checklist

    18. The W Checklist offers the various considerations for reference in the conduct of

    RAMS. The checklist is not meant to be exhaustive. Schools should use the checklistrelevant to a specific activity and add on additional considerations based on the

    nature of the activity. The checklist is subdivided into the following categories:

    a. WHYThis refers to the specific objectives that the activity aims to achieve. It

    prompts the Risk Assessment Team to:-

    i. Evaluate the purpose and appropriateness of the activity; and

    ii. Consider alternatives if the activity is assessed to be inappropriate toachieve the main objectives

  • 8/6/2019 FCTC 2011 RAMS

    8/28

    vii. Is drinking water from a clean and reliable source?

    c. WHEN (TIMING)

    This prompts the Risk Assessment Team to consider the following where

    timing is considered:-

    i. Is the duration of activity appropriate?

    ii. Has the start/stop timing for each phase of the activity been carefully

    planned for?

    iii. Is there sufficient break between activities?

    iv. Is the timing of the activity appropriate (conducted at the appropriatetime of the day)?

    v. Have precautions been planned for in case of delay in timing (e.g.reaching a campsite after dusk)?

    d. WHO (PEOPLE)This prompts the Risk Assessment Team to assess the readiness of the groupwith regard to teachers/adult supervisors and participants as follows:-

    i. Are the teacher/adult supervisor(s) competent to supervise the activityand manage the participants?

    ii. Is the teacher/adult supervisor: participant ratio adequate for the

    specific activity and meet the requirement of the respective governingbodies/National Sports Associations (NSAs)?

    iii Is the leader trained/competent/experienced?

  • 8/6/2019 FCTC 2011 RAMS

    9/28

    x. Is the leader competent enough to execute the emergency evacuation

    plan when the need arises?

    With regard to the participants, the following will have to be considered:

    i. Have the participants been briefed on the objectives of the activityand the various phases of the activity?

    ii. Is there a need to conduct pre-activity training?

    iii. Are the participants aware of the expectations of their participation,

    behaviour and performance?

    iv. Are there participants in the group with special needs?

    v. Have the parental consents and health declarations of participants

    been obtained?

    vi. Does teacher-in-charge report daily to school regarding groups well-

    being and progress (where possible)?

    e. WHERE

    Careful consideration should be given to the different venues involved (e.g.

    accommodation, activities):-

    i. Is there adequate accommodation available?

    ii. Are participants briefed on fire safety, emergency evacuation routesand assembly area?

    iii Are updated maps available for planning and use during activity?

  • 8/6/2019 FCTC 2011 RAMS

    10/28

    xi. Have buoyancy aids been provided?

    f. WEATHER

    Careful consideration should be given to impending weather that may affect

    the conduct of activity:-

    i. Has the weather forecast been checked?

    ii. Are procedures in place to manage the group in inclement weather?

    iii. Has a Wet Weather Programme been planned for?

    iv. Have precautions been planned for the following possibilities?

    (a) Lightning;

    (b) Storm;

    (c) Hyperthermia (heat related exigencies, e.g. heat exhaustion,

    heatstroke);

    (d) Hypothermia (abnormal low body temperature); and

    (e) Altitude sickness.
