Abstract
In the industrial operations, there are different kinds of risks and threats which are posed to
the employees’ health and well-being on a constant basis. In the water treatment plants, the risks
posed by the environments are multiple in number and it includes the chemical, physical and
biological hazards. In this study, the risk assessment of chemical hazards (Bleach process) in
Alkimos Waste water treatment plant, Perth has been done and the hazardous posed in the operational
framework is analysed in details. The study observes, identifies and assesses the problems in more
detailed way and analytic manner. The key segments of hazards and mechanism of risk presentation is
described as well. The control process is assessed and the deficient areas are found out and the
implementation process are recommended. The study also encourages the safety rules and regulations
to be followed by the employees on a regular basis and the organisational culture to be fostered in a
likewise manner. Regular trainings and workshops regarding adherence to safety policies are
motivated through the course of the study.
