BOROUGE HSE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS – BOROUGE-4
PROJECT – UAE 2026 LATEST VERSION
Self-Introduction: Personal & Professional Information with basic qualification details
1.What is TRIR? (Total Recordable Injury Rate)
RI - RECORDABLE INCIDENT - An incident which causes death, permanent total
disability, permanent partial disability, lost work case or restricted work case and
medical treatment case or injury by reason of which the injured person is
prevented from working for a period of one shift or more or if not reporting
within 24 hours.
Recordable Injuries (RI) = (MTC+RWC+LTI)
TRIR = RI x 2,00,000/Total Manhours Worked (Target Below 0.0918)
2.What is LTI? Lost Time Injury or Illness and or Incident
LTI - LOST TIME INCIDENT - An injury or illness, which results in an
employee/worker being unable to work or absence from his/her work beyond
the day or shift or if not reporting within 24 hours.
3.What is Risk Assessment? and Steps?
Risk Assessment: Process of evaluating the risk(s) arising from the Hazard(s),
taking into account the adequacy of any existing controls, & deciding whether or
not the risk(s) is acceptable.
The depth of analysis undertaken in an organization needs to be proportionate to the
hazards and risks.
Risk Matrix - A risk matrix is a matrix that is used during risk assessment to define the level
of
risk by considering the category of probability or likelihood against the category of
consequence severity.
Risk Assessment Steps - Identify the hazards, Decide who might be harmed and
how, Evaluate the risk, Record your findings, & Review your assessment.

4.What is the purpose of ELCB and MCB?
Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers (ELCBs) detect when a current flows to earth by
comparing the currents flowing in the live and neutral conductors. It is important
to note that ELCBs only operate when a fault to earth occurs. They do not provide
overload protection.
Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) is an electromagnetic appliance that is used for
protection against short circuits and electrical overload. In case of short circuit,
MCB turns off automatically.

5.Engineering Controls for the Noise?
Engineering controls involve modifying or replacing equipment, or making
related physical changes at the noise source or along the transmission path to
reduce the noise level at the worker’s ear. Some of the examples are:
/ Choose low-noise tools and machinery
/ Maintain and lubricate machinery and equipment
/ Place a barrier between the noise source and employee (Sound walls or Curtains)
/ Enclose and isolate the noise source
