The document outlines three key actions for responding to a risk assessment: 1) Take action to manage risks and minimize health and safety problems for workers by outlining preventative measures such as separating workers from vehicles and ensuring tools and equipment are safe. 2) Take time to communicate protocols and processes to employees and managers. This includes emergency protocols. 3) Take time to train all employees, including temporary and subcontracted workers, on safe equipment use and working procedures before undertaking tasks and using provided PPE.

TAKE ACTION: A RISK ASSESSMENT HAS TO BE RESPONDED TO WITH STEPS TO ACTUALLY MANAGE THE RISKS AND MINIMIZE THE
POTENTIAL HEALTH AND
SAFETY PROBLEMS THEY PRESENT TO WORKERS, BY OUTLINING PREVENTATIVE ACTION. FOR EXAMPLE, INCLUDING ACTION BEING TAKEN TO SEPARATE WORKERS FROM MOVING VEHICLES, FOR ENSURING TOOLS, EQUIPMENT (INCLUDING PPE SAFETY EQUIPMENT SUCH AS MASKS, VISORS AND EAR DEFENDERS) ARE CHECKED AND FIT FOR PURPOSE. TAKE TIME TO COMMUNICATE: PUTTING STEPS INTO PLACE TO PROTECT WORKERS ONLY GOES SO FAR, IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO COMMUNICATE TO EMPLOYEES, SHIFT AND SITE MANAGERS WHAT PROTOCOLS AND PROCESSES ARE AND HOW THEY SHOULD BE FOLLOWED. THIS SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS IN THE EVENT THAT AN ACCIDENT DOES OCCUR ON-SITE. TAKE TIME TO TRAIN: AND SOMETIMES, THE BEST WAY TO COMMUNICATE PROCEDURES IS TO TRAIN EMPLOYEES IN HOW TO FOLLOW THEM. FROM THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT, TO WORKING AT HEIGHT PROTOCOLS, NO WORKER (INCLUDING TEMPORARY AND SUBCONTRACTORS) SHOULD BE UNDERTAKING A TASK WITHOUT BEING TRAINED TO DO SO OR WITHOUT USING THE PPE EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE BEEN PROVIDED WITH.
