TASAS EMC HS MS provides a mechanism for HS management throughout all areas and departments. The HS management system is designated to cover health and safety hazards and risks, which a facility can control and directly manage, and those it does not control or directly manage but can be expected to have an influence.

The TASAS EMC HS Cross Functional Team identifies the hazards and associated risks, which the company controls and over which it may be expected to have an influence, and determines which of those hazards and associated risks are considered significant by using a semi-quantitative risk assessment method and pre-defined evaluation matrix. Risk assessment results and significance are documented and maintained. These hazards and associated risks are reviewed at least semi-annually by the CFT or when there is a new or changed process or activity at the company facilities or sites. The QHS Engineer/ MR maintains the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment records.
