HIRA & Risk Assessment Services Across India
Safety Zest supports organisations across India with Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) for workplace activities, projects and management systems. The objective is to identify credible hazards, evaluate risk and establish effective controls.
HIRA Scope
- Routine and non-routine activity assessment
- People, equipment, material and environmental hazards
- Existing-control review
- Likelihood and consequence assessment
- Risk prioritisation
- Hierarchy-of-controls recommendations
- Risk-register development and review framework
Our HIRA Methodology
- Define activities and tasks.
- Identify hazards and exposed persons.
- Review existing controls.
- Assess likelihood and consequence using the agreed matrix.
- Prioritise significant risks.
- Recommend additional controls.
- Assign review and action responsibilities.
HIRA for Multi-Site Organisations
A common risk-assessment methodology can be used nationally while individual sites maintain risk registers reflecting their actual operations and hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is HIRA the same as HAZOP?
No. HIRA is widely applied to workplace and task risks, while HAZOP is a structured process-safety study of deviations from design intent.
Can HIRA support ISO 45001?
Yes. Hazard identification and risk assessment are fundamental elements of an effective OH&S management system.
When should HIRA be reviewed?
Reviews are appropriate when activities, equipment, processes or conditions change and periodically according to the organisation’s risk-management framework.
How HIRA Supports Wider EHS Decisions
A well-maintained HIRA register helps organisations prioritise engineering controls, training, permits, contractor management and inspection focus. It can also provide a strong risk-management foundation for ISO 45001 implementation, EHS auditing and role-specific safety training.
Typical HIRA Deliverables
- Activity-wise hazard register and risk ratings
- Existing controls and recommended additional controls
- Priority actions for significant risks
- Defined ownership and review expectations
- Management summary for high-risk exposures
Where HIRA Adds the Most Value
HIRA is especially useful when organisations are introducing new activities, machinery, contractors or work methods; reviewing high-risk jobs; standardising risk registers across sites; or preparing an ISO 45001 implementation. Safety Zest can facilitate workshops with operations, maintenance, safety and workforce representatives so the assessment reflects actual work rather than generic assumptions. Where a task needs more detailed step-by-step control, HIRA can be complemented with JSA or task-specific risk assessment.
