Risk Assessment

What is a hazard?
A Could people be injured or made sick by things such as: Noise Light Radiation Toxicity Infection High or low temperatures Electricity Moving or falling things (or people) Flammable or explosive materials Things under tension or pressure (compressed gas or liquid; springs) Any other energy sources or stresses Biohazardous material Laser C Can workplace practices cause injury or sickness? Are there heavy or awkward lifting jobs? Can people work in a comfortable posture? If the work is repetitive, can people take breaks? Are people properly trained? Do people follow correct work practices? Are there adequate facilities for the work being performed? Are universal safety precautions for biohazards followed? Is there poor housekeeping? Look out for clutter Torn or slippery flooring Sharp objects sticking out Obstacles E Imagine that a child was to enter your work area What would you warn them to be extra careful of? What would do to reduce the harm to them? B What could go wrong? What if equipment is misused? What might people do that they shouldnt How could someone be killed? How could people be injured? What may make people ill? Are there any special emergency procedures required?

D F

How might these injuries happen to people? Broken bones Eye damage Hearing problems Strains or sprains Cuts or abrasions Bruises Burns Lung problems including inhalation injury/ infection Skin contact Poisoning Needle-stick injury What are the special hazards? What occurs only occasionally-for example during maintenance and other irregular work?

A. Take Step 1 rating and and select the correct line. B. Take Step 2 Rating select the correct column. C. The calculated risk score is where the two ratings cross on the matrix below. H = High, M = Medium, L = Low

How to Assess Risk Step 1 Consider the Consequences

What are the consequences of this incident occurring? Consider what could reasonably have happened as well as what actually happened. Look at the descriptions and choose the most suitable Consequence.

Step 2 Consider the Likelihood

What is the likelihood of the consequence identified in step 1 happening? Consider this without new or interim controls in place. Look at the descriptions and choose the most suitable Likelihood.

Step 3 Calculate the Risk

Risk Control

Risk Assessment

Risk control is a method of managing the risk with the primary emphasis on controlling the hazards at source. For a risk that is assessed as high, steps should be taken immediately to minimize risk of injury. The method of ensuring that risks are controlled effectively is by using the hierarchy of controls. The Hierarchy of Controls are:

Order No.
Firstly Secondly Thirdly Fourthly Fifthly Sixthly

Control
Eliminate Substitute Isolation Engineering Administrative Personal Protective Equipment

Example
Removing the hazard, eg taking a hazardous piece of equipment out of service. Replacing a hazardous substance or process with a less hazardous one, eg substituting a hazardous substance with a non-hazardous substance. Isolating the hazard from the person at risk, eg using a guard or barrier. Redesign a process or piece of equipment to make it less hazardous. Adopting safe work practices or providing appropriate training, instruction or information. The use of personal protective equipment could include using gloves, glasses, earmuffs, aprons, safety footwear, dust masks.
