Additional controls required to control the Risk 

1. Job description to be made for every single worker briefed and be taken signatures, work instruction should be made for all those machines which can entangle person, briefing TBT should be given to workers and signs be taken, randomly surveys from Chief Miller to the site machines to observe working and find out faults. The register should be made for every single worker working alone on high floors with time and after every 45 Minutes communication should be made to the chief or shift miller from mobile via message or call and response should be recorded in the register, make sure that mobiles are in good condition to be used. Employees new to a job, undergoing training, doing a job that presents special risks, or dealing with new situations may need to be accompanied at first and first aid should be given 
2. Better communication should be made between chief millers, shift millers’ technicians and helpers to make sure that mobiles are in good condition to be used or arrange of wireless walkie talkie which can send calls in case the position of walkie talkie changed, plant weekly meetings should be conducted to address people concern and record findings concern and working should be done as per logic able reasons. Quarterly Medical checkups to assess the medical situation, Regular change of Night shift people 
3. Every Panel should be marked with voltage red & green colour for safe and not or not safe or low voltage or high voltage panel, Sops should be made for working on electrical panel work instructions should be made briefing should be made from an engineer to all team members signs should be taken make the record and paste work instruction on panels electrical rooms with required PPE as well Employees new to a job, undergoing training, doing a job that presents special risks, or dealing with new situations may need to be accompanied at first

5. Only trained HAZOP persons should be allowed to work in chemical rooms, work instructions should be made and tbs should be delivered regarding this task, Entry & exit time to be recorded and maintained on daily basis. New Chemical Room should be arranged with proper ventilation & Air-conditioned Proper portion for every chemical as per SDS, especially for oxidizing one, Specific job-related PPE should be provided by the plant, and age factor should be considered during selecting people for HAZOP training. arrangements of wireless walkie-talkie which can send calls in case the position of walkie talkie changed
6. The number of firefighting persons or fire wardens should be increased for every plant and special concentration should be given to the maintenance schedule for such hazard-related machines
7. The plant should make a study if the camera is covering the maximum area, randomly plant visits from chief miller with date & time record in the register, Quarterly Medical checkups to assess the medical situation, Regular change of Night shift people age factor be considered for night shift roster, sign boards should be installed for such scenarios
8. Risk assessment should be reviewed within a short time and maximum machinery support be given to reduce manual handling; first aid training should be given to alone working persons
9. Randomly surveys from Chief Miller to the site machines to observe working and find out faults. The register should be made for every single worker working alone on high floors with time and after every 45 Minutes communication should be made to the chief or shift miller from mobile via message or call and response should be recorded in register or arrangement of wireless walkie talkie which can send call in case the position of walkie talkie changed Quarterly Medical checkups be done regular change of shift timings, especially night shift, age factor should be considered, address the concern of technicians especially health-related communication should be buildup work should be assessed if need more than one worker for some special works like working on height or with ladders etc.
10. Weekly Monthly maintenance of dust filter system be done, assessment should be done for installation of exhaust fan, Floor map should be in every floor and emergency preparedness training should be delivered.
11. Properly trained persons should work at height, machines risk assessment be done work instructions to be introduced and special equipment should be arranged like podium ladders where it is not easy to access arrangements of wireless walkie talkie which can send call in case the position of walkie talkie changed
