MODULE 4: Application of Hazard
Identification, Risk Assessment
and Control (HIRAC)
Hazards -a source, situation, or act with a
potential for harm in terms of human injury
or ill health, or a combination of these
factors
Risks -the chance, probability or likelihood
that a person will be harmed or ill if
exposed to the hazard
Stages of HIRAC
1. Hazards/Risk Identification
2. Risk Assessment
3. Risk Control
HIRAC Matrix
Step 1: Likelihood Evaluation
Step 2: Severity of Harm Evaluation
Step 3: Measurement of Exposure
Risk Score = Likelihood x Severity x Exposure
