ASSIGNMENT: Occupational Health and Safety

Title: Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan

Objective: The objective of this assignment is for students to demonstrate their

understanding of occupational health and safety principles by conducting a risk
assessment in a workplace setting and developing a comprehensive mitigation plan.

This assignment encourages students to apply theoretical knowledge of occupational

health and safety principles to real-world scenarios, fostering critical thinking,
problem-solving, and communication skills.

Instructions:

• In a group of five, choose a workplace environment (e.g., office, manufacturing

facility, construction site, healthcare facility, or any kind of environment) to
focus on for the assignment. The workplace can be a real or hypothetical
setting.
• Pictures of the workplace must be attached to the assignment and you may
attach pictures to explain their evaluations and explanations
• You need to conduct a thorough assessment to identify potential hazards
present in the chosen workplace environment. Hazards may include physical,
chemical, biological, ergonomic, and psychosocial factors.
 • For each identified hazard, you must assess the level of risk based on likelihood
and severity, using a risk assessment or similar tool.
• You must document the findings in a clear and organized manner, including
descriptions of each hazard and its associated risks.
• Based on the identified hazards and associated risks, you must propose
appropriate control measures to mitigate or eliminate the risks. Control
measures may include engineering controls, administrative controls, and
personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Outline a plan for implementing the proposed control measures, considering
factors such as feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and regulatory compliance.
• You will also need to include provisions for emergency preparedness and
response, such as evacuation procedures, first aid protocols, and
communication strategies in case of emergencies related to the identified
hazards.

Instruction for Submission:

The assignment should be submitted as a written report. The report should include an
introduction, methodology (including workplace selection and assessment methods),
results of the risk assessment, detailed mitigation plan, and conclusion. Students
should provide references to support analysis and recommendations, citing relevant
occupational health and safety literature, regulations, and guidelines.
