3. Hazard identification. Risk assessment and determining controls
The organization shall establish, implement and maintain a procedure(s) for the on-going hazard identification, risk assessment, and determination of necessary
controls.
The procedure(s) for hazard identification and risk assessment shall take into account:
a) routine and non-routine activities.
b) activities of all persons having access to the workplace (including contractors and visitors).
c) human behaviour, capabilities and other human factors.
d) identified hazards originating outside the workplace capable of adversely affecting the health and safety of persons under the control of the organization within the
workplace.
e) hazards created in the vicinity of the workplace by work-related activities under the control of the organization.
NOTE 1 It may be more appropriate for such hazards to be assessed as an environmental aspect.
f) infrastructure, equipment and materials at the workplace, whether provided by the organization or others;
g) changes or proposed changes in the organization, its activities, or materials;
h) modifications to the OH&S management system, including temporary changes, and their impacts on operations, processes, and activities
I) any applicable legal obligations relating to risk assessment and implementation of necessary controls;
j) the design of work areas, processes, installations, machinery/equipment, operating procedures and work organization, including their adaptation to human capabilities.
The organization’s methodology for hazard identification and risk assessment shall:
a) be defined with respect to its scope, nature and timing to ensure it is proactive rather than reactive; and
b) provide for the identification, prioritization and documentation of risks, and the application of controls, as appropriate.
For the management of change, the organization shall identify the OH&S hazards and OH&S risks associated with changes in the organization, the OH&S management
system, or its activities, prior to the introduction of such changes.
When determining controls, or considering changes to existing controls, consideration shall be given to reducing the risks according to the following hierarchy:
Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Controls
Before construction start, the Baseline Risk Assessment is a theoretical assessment before the construction start in order to highlight the foreseen hazards, but this is not
intended to be seen as an absolute 100% of hazards that may occur.
The Principal Contractor or their appointed Contractor should take this and whatever hazards that may be presented, due to the unique process which get used to execute the
specific construction activity.

Revision: Rev 0
SHE007.1

This Baseline Risk Assessment provides recommendations regarding the control measures, it is however the Principal Contractor duties to ensure that detailed
control measured are addressed in the applicable unique Risk Assessment by the Principal Contractor or their appointed Contractor. The risk rating is
deliberately rated high because there are no controls in this and without the required controls the possibility of the potential risk is very high, as indicated.
