Clause 6.1.2 Hazard identification and OH&S risk assessment Area : _________________ (Use Table 4)
The first uses as 3 x 3 matrix whereby the probability of the risk occurring is given a score (x axis) and the consequences are rated (y axis).
The second matrix essentially uses the same approach, but has more fields (5 x 5 matrix)
The organisation can use the same risk assessment matrix to evaluate its OH&S risks as well as its other risks.
Risk assessments carried out need to be completed with the involvement of those who carry out the activities/tasks. Indeed the Standard
requires workers participation and consultation in risk assessment (clause 5.4).
Once complete, the OH&S risks need to be communicated to all the relevant people amongst the various levels and functions of the
organisation and also to those workers who may be outside of the organisation and also to identified interested parties.
Whilst not implicitly required by the Standard, the output of the methodologies and criteria (i.e. the risk assessments themselves) need to
be maintained and used to build the system controls to comply with most countries legal requirements.
