In the risk assessment report, hazards were listed as physical hazards, chemical hazards, biological hazards, and psychosocial hazards, with the hazards categorized as low, medium, and high risk to be addressed. The OHSMS Manager did not have an action plan for low and medium risks, saying that they ignored those. He stated that they brought in a health and safety consultant to advise on treatment for the high risks.
When interviewing the OHSMS Manager, the auditor presents a nonconformity relating to potential hazards in the factory if the dust extraction system broke down. The OHSMS Manager said that, if that happened, the agreed planned action is that workers would put masks on.
