Hazard and Risk Analysis of Driven Pile Foundation Works Using HIRARC Method

Abstract

One of the construction processes with high potential for danger is driven pile foundation work. Driven pile foundation work has a series of processes that are quite dangerous if not executed properly due complicated work process. This study aims to identify hazards and provide efforts to control hazards using the HIRARC method. Based on the results of the study, 42 potential hazards were identified, with 21 possible hazards at a low level, and 21 possible hazards at a moderate level. Risk controls are carried out by checking the equipment before use, checking the feasibility of SIA and SIO to ensure operator competence, clearing the work area from unauthorized workers other than the operator of heavy equipment and helper(s), providing barricades and warning signs in the work area, using essential PPE and additional PPE, and good coordination and communication with all workers involved in driven pile foundation work. Several suggestions are everyone that is in charge of work must be firm in penalties, all work tools must be checked carefully and periodically, and PPE providers must provide essential and additional PPE for specialized jobs. For future research we can suggest continue discussion regarding the operational control, cost budget plan, and evaluation and review of SHE performance.
