Are You An HSE/Project/Constrution Engineer? Have You Heard / Know What "CHAIR" Means?

CHAIR, is acronym for "Construction Hazard Assessment and Implication Review", a tool that has been developed to bring together all the key stakeholders involved in design to help identify and eliminate (or minimise) inherent risks in a structured and systematic way. The name CHAIR was also selected because a function of both a chair and a design review is to provide an opportunity to sit down, pause and reflect on possible problems. CHAIR provides a rigorous framework for a facilitated discussion that is stimulated by guidewords or prompts. These prompts assist the key stakeholders to collectively identify and reduce construction, maintenance repair and demolition safety risks associat ed with a design. Those risks are then formally listed for action by the appropriate stakeholders. CHAIR recognises that a design involves key considerations such as operability, aesthetics and economics with the elements of safety. It also acknowledges that a design process may be determined by many different stakeholders and/or influences. The CHAIR methodology aims to involve these elements and influences. It is intended to be applied to projects where the design or construction is unique, unusual, or of sufficient inherent hazard that a formal detailed assessment is warranted. The primary aim of a CHAIR is to identify and eliminate or minimise risks in a design as soon as possible in the life of a project. There are three phases of CHAIR:
