- Likelihood: Assess the probability of the hazard occurring (e.g., rare, unlikely, possible, likely, almost certain).
- Severity: Assess the potential impact of the hazard (e.g., minor injury, major injury, fatality).
- Risk Evaluation: Determine the level of risk by combining the likelihood and severity ratings. Use a risk matrix to categorize risks as low, medium, high, or critical.
4.3 Risk Control Measures
- Hierarchy of Controls: Apply the hierarchy of controls to mitigate identified risks:
- Elimination: Remove the hazard entirely.
- Substitution: Replace the hazard with a less dangerous one.
- Engineering Controls: Implement physical changes to reduce exposure to the hazard.
- Administrative Controls: Change work procedures or policies to reduce risk.
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Provide PPE to protect employees from hazards.
- Implementation: Develop and implement action plans for controlling identified risks.
4.4 Monitoring and Review
- Regular Monitoring: Continuously monitor the effectiveness of risk control measures.
- Periodic Review: Review and update the risk assessment at least annually or whenever there are significant changes in the workplace.
- Incident Investigation: Investigate incidents to determine if additional controls are needed.
5. Records
- Risk Assessment Reports: Document all identified hazards, risk assessments, and control measures.
- Inspection Reports: Keep records of regular workplace inspections.
- Incident Reports: Maintain records of all incidents and investigations.
- Training Records: Document training sessions related to risk assessment and control measures.
