RISK ASSESSMENT & CONTROL FORM
Task or hazard description: Kitchen Night 12th February, 2016
Assessment conducted by: Matt Smith Consulted with: Emma Holmes Assessment date: 9th February
1. Identification: 1 2 3 4 5
LIKELIHOOD
Consider the individual steps in a task & identify the hazards (Insignificant) (Minor) (Moderate) (Major) (Catastrophic)
that exist. Use specific hazard report forms and checklists for
manual handling, plant, hazardous substances, machinery, A (Almost Certain) H H E E E
confined space, ergonomics. Also use workplace inspection
checklist, incident reports, MSDS & register of injuries. B (Likely) M H H E E
2. Assessment:
Consider the following factors – frequency & duration of C (Possible) L M H E E
exposure, severity of injury/illness, capability & skills, age &
experience of people undertaking the work, layout & condition D (Unlikely) L L M H E
of work environment, systems of work being used.
Is the risk increased by additional factors?
E (Rare) L L M H H
Use the matrix to determine the risks of each potential hazard
to get a risk rating.
Likelihood: Consequences:
3. Control: A = is expected to occur inmost instances 1 = No injuries, low financial loss
Determine control measure based on practicability, hierarchy B = will probably occur in most instances 2 = First aid treatment on-site release immediately
of control & level of risk. Start from Elimination & work contained, medium financial loss
C = might occur at some
down to ensure all possible control measures are
D = could occur at some time 3 = Medical treatment required, on-site release
considered & documented.
E = may occur only in exceptional circumstances contained with outside assistance, high financial
Hierarchy of Control loss
1. Elimination 4 = Extensive injuries, loss of production capability,
2. Substitution off-site release with no detrimental effects,
3. Isolation
major financial loss
4. Reduction - Engineering
- Administration 5 = Death, toxin, release off-site with detrimental
5. Personal Protective Equipment effect, huge financial loss
