HAZARD IDENTIFICATION, RISK ASSESSMENT & RISK CONTROL ‐ DRILLING OPERATIONS

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION, RISK ASSESSMENT & RISK CONTROL ‐ DRILLING OPERATIONS

Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment & Risk Control (HIRARC) in drilling operations involves systematically identifying potential hazards, evaluating associated risks, and implementing control measures to ensure safety. RaMsProZone emphasizes proactive risk management to prevent accidents, protect personnel, and safeguard equipment. This process includes analyzing drilling activities, assessing environmental and operational risks, and applying engineering controls, administrative measures, and PPE to mitigate risks, ensuring compliance with safety standards and enhancing operational efficiency.
