in enforcement action, civil claims and potential loss of
accreditation. The business risk assessment will impact on
how risk is managed further down the chain.
Individual task risk assessments is a collaborative approach
between the operatives and HSEQ Manager to identify all
significant hazards involved with a specific task, such as HV
cable jointing. The individual task risk assessments will
provide generic content for the operatives to control risk
associated with that task. Review and training will be
undertaken on an annual basis.
Site based risk assessments undertaken by the Project
Manager or Site Manager and controlling the risks which
affect the individual tasks risk assessments for work on the
site. Site based risk assessments look predominantly at the
environmental factors affecting the work. In addition, site
based risk assessments will be completed for novel or unique
works for which there is no individual task risk assessment.
Dynamic risk assessment will assess the hazards associated at
the point of work. The assessments are completed by the site
operatives and look at risks not identified by the risk
assessment. The dynamic risk assessment cannot substitute
for a site based risk assessment nor will it cover for
significant failings in the site based risk assessment. Dynamic
assessments look at, for example, weather conditions, open
excavations etc.
Secondary risk assessments will influence the hazards and
control measures of other risk assessments in the chain. All
should be aware of the impact these will have
