Safety Risk Management in the Rollers Hard Chrome Plating Process

Abstract

This research aims to assess, create a plan and implementation of a safety risk management plan in the rollers hard chrome plating process work. Results from the research showed that in the rollers hard chrome plating process, there are 4 items at high risk level (level 3) and 7 items at acceptable risk level. 14 plans on risk reduction and 10 plans on risk control had been planned and implemented in to the process. It was found that the number of high risk level items can be reduced from 4 to 2 (50 percent reduction), acceptable risk level items can be reduced from 7 to 2 (71.43 percent reduction), and 11 out of 14 risk reduction plan can be completely implemented (78.57 percent completed) and 8 out of 10 risk control plan can be completely implemented (80 percent completed). Implemented measures consist of making a hand book on gliding work, operator training on hard chrome plating process work, established panels on safety information, fabricate a cover device for chemical containers, rearrange parts/spare parts stocks, leak tests and cleaning conduits, and testing of work pieces breaching water. However, there are needed for some special watch on remaining items; risks on working process with high corrosive on materials and human respiration of sulfuric acid and cancer alert of chromic acid.
