With a clear understanding of the health threats the HSE department can identify the particular type of
occupational health threat that may affect a particular part of the Project. The Company medical
consultant is in a position to produce a risk analysis based on the consequences of the threat and the
probability of occurring. Existing medical records (as evidence of previous incidents) are therefore very
important to this assessment. A simple ranking is designed for each threat as follows.

 H = High Risk

 M = Medium Risk

 L = Low Risk

17 of 30
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT PLAN
The threats and associated risks initially identified for “ the Project” exposure are presented in a format
as shown in table C below. The table should be updated periodically to advise the project Manager but
he is to be informed immediately of a sudden grave increase in risk. This has been completed following
a site visit.
