B.2. Identify risks by area: risks identified in each area are as follows: Refining area

Continuous casting machine area

- Heat release - Falling of the load - Gas leakage - Sparks during temperature rise

- Oxygen leakage - Manual handling - Burns - Inhalation - Slip

- Gas leakage - Oxygen leakage - Fall of the load - Release of heat - Sparks during the temperature rise

- Mechanical handling - Falling on the floor - Burns - Manual handling

Fluid area

Refractory area

- Slip (welder lance) - Fire/ explosion

-Electrification - Flame back

- Falling to the ground - Release of heat

- Projection of sparks - Contact with a hot element - Handling with a crane - Exposure to noise - Exposure to vibration

- Projection of molten metal - The falling object (tundish preparer)

Common area

Maintenance area

Degraded mode

- Falling objects (dispatcher)

- Slip (cst agent) - Fire/ explosion (cst agent) - Electrification (cst agent) - Fall from height (cst agent)

- Fall of liquid steel and dirt at zero level - Overflow at the converter level, water leakage at the skirt level - Explosion

- Contact with metal (operations manager) - Loss of control (driver)
