The document outlines the key steps and concepts of risk assessment including identifying hazards, evaluating risks, recording findings, and reviewing assessments. It discusses the hierarchy of control measures, when risk assessments should be conducted, reasons for carrying them out, and comparing accidents to near misses. Main causes of accidents are listed as unsafe acts and conditions. Potential activities requiring risk assessment include working at heights, manual handling, excavation, confined spaces, and use of chemicals, electricity, cranes, and forklifts. Sources for hazard identification include worker observations, reports, experienced employees, MSDS sheets, laws, and company policies. Methods for hazard identification include HAZOP, fault tree analysis, safety audits, failure analysis, and task analysis.

1- Identify the hazard 2- Decide who might be harmed and how. 3- Evaluate the risk and decide who the existing control are enough or need more than persecution and controls 4- Record the finding 5- Review your assessment and revise it if necessary
1. Mention and arrange in descending order the
hierarchy of control measures: PPE/ Administrative control /engineering control /substitution/ elimination
3. When should a risk assessment be done?
-Before a new process or activity are introduce
-Before change are introduced to the existing process or activity including when products, material, equipment, tools change - New information concerning harm become a valuable
. When hazard are identified
. 4 when you required to review the risk assessment?
Annually / changes in legislation /significant change
in the task or process / new people 5. Mention at least three reasons for carrying risk assessment? .moral reason/ legal reason/ financial reason / administrative reason /evident
6. State the different between accident and near miss
Accident: is unplanned event that result in kind of loss, injuries to people or damage to equipment Incident: unplanned event but it doesn’t result of any kind of loss
7. What are the main causes of accidents?
Unsafe acts / unsafe condition
8. In relation to your work subject please state activities and task, which require risk assessment Working at heights / manual handling /excavation activities / confined space activates/ dealing with chemical / electrical activity /crane activity / forklift activity / 9. State different sources you might refer to in relation to hazard identification - Worker & worksite observation and inspection - Accident, incident ,unsafe acts and unsafe conditions reports - Information from all experiences employee’s - MSDS -local low and legislation -company policy and procedures 10. State different methods you might used in hazard identification HAZOP/ Fault tree analysis / safety audits / failure mood and effects/ task analysis
