 Instructions for using the Risk Assessment form
The following section provides brief guidance for completing the risk assessment. Risk assessments must be conducted for all activities that represent a significant risk. Such activities could include, Hot work, working at
height, Confined Space, excavation etc. Risk assessments can be completed by any competent person, a competent person could be identified through training, previous experience etc. It is recommended that workplace risk
assessments are completed by Engineer/HSE officer along with the worker participationn. To support this, each company should establish a risk assessment committee, the committee will be used to review and develop risk
assessments.

Top sections Fill up all sections in the heading area of the Risk Assesssment form like Description of Risk Assessment, Method Statement reference, Risk Assessor Name etc.
Note 1: Discuss with your HSE committee/work area / activity owner on the next review date for the Risk Assessment. In general the next review date shall not exceed one year.

The RA is also reviewed:

(1) When there are changes in work processes/activities
(2) After any accidents/incidents
(3) Change in Management
(4) Change in legislation etc

Column 1b Describe the work activity to be carried out.

Note: Please do not fill in names of machines/equipment to be used.
Therefore, a excavator is not an activity, but working with excavator is.

Column 1c Identify hazard(s) associated with the activity to be carried out.

Examples of hazards include chemical, biological, electrical, mechanical, physical, ergonomics, psychosocial, slip & fall, accidents/ill health include fires, explosions, cuts, burns, frost bites, fractures etc.

Column 1d Identify personal who can be associated or harmed while this activity is carried out.
EMPLOYEES,MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, CONTRACTORS, VISITORS, OTHERS.
Column 2b Evaluate the initial Risk without having any control measures. to do so we need to analyses the S=Severity
Severity is the degree or extent of injury or harm caused by the hazards, or as a result of an accident.
Choose the most likely severity from a value between 1 and 5, rather than the most extreme.
Refer to the Risk Matrix Below for the severity table

Column 2c L=Likelihood
Likelihood of occurrence of an accident, incident or ill health is defined as the probability that the said accident, incident or ill health will happen. Choose the likelihood from a value between 1 and 5.
Consider the records of such events happening in the past when deciding on the likelihood.
Refer to the Risk Matrix below for the likelihood table

Column 2d R=Risk Rating Number

R=Severity X Likelihood
Column 2f Using Risk Rating section below, mention the type of the risk, whether High, Medium OR Low. Color the column accordingly.

Column 3a Indicate risk control measures that are already in place to eliminate or minimize risks.
Methods to control risks may be analyzed according to the Hierarchy of Controls:
Elimination, Substitution, Engineering Controls, Administrative Controls and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Elimination of the hazard should take first priority while PPE should be the last line of defense.
Elimination - By adjusting/ changing / modifying operations, activities, tasks, equipment, tools or materials aiming to totally eliminate risk and prevent pollution

Example: Use water based solvents instead of organic based solvents

Substitution - By reducing or substituting operations, activities, tasks, equipment, tools or materials with less hazardous ones aiming to mitigate and reduce risks and impacts.

Example: Use a less toxic solvent

Engineering Controls - By preventing contacts using fixed, adjustable or automatic engineering guard and controls

Example: Use of fume cupboard or gloves boxes

Administrative Controls - By setting and implementing standards, policies, procedures, information, instructions, training & supervision.

Example: Work instructions. Good laboratory practices. Training on proper use of chemicals
PPE - By using suitable and effective personal protective equipment and gears as a last option.

Example: Use of safety eyewear plus respiratory protection, use of gloves

Column 3b S=Severity
S will reduce upon introduction of control measures

Column 3c L=Likelihood
L will reduce upon introduction of control measures

Column 3d R=Risk Rating Number

Risk rating will reduce upon introduction of control measures

Column 3e Using Risk Rating section below, mention the type of the residual risk, whether High, Medium OR Low. Color the column accordingly.
 Column 4a Specify the hazard result could result in threat or opportunity

Column 4b Enter the details of Opportunities/ Threats that could impact HSE with the assessed hazard & risk. For example (Behavioural issues, Non-conformance, Enhancement of skills via training,
Promotes development of OHSEMS, Prevention of incident/ reduction in severity, Regulatory compliance etc.)

GUIDANCE FOR DETERMINING THE SEVERITY OF AN INCIDENT

LEVEL SEVERITY DESCRIPTION

There is an incurable Environmental pollution or a death risk that completely halt work, work licenses and necessitate external assistance.
5 Catastrophic Eg- Fatality, fatal diseases or multiple major injuries

There is a potential critical environmental pollution, long / chronic / permanent health or serious injuries risks that completely stop work and
4 Major necessitate external assistance and provision of specialized medical services as well resulting in more than (7) workdays lost to recover.
Eg- Serious injuries or life-threatening occupational disease (includes amputations, major fractures, multiple injuries, occupational cancer, acute poisoning)

There is a limited potential for environmental pollution, temporal / acute health impact or medium – level injuries that may partially / temporarily halt work
and the need for external assistance and provision of specialized medical services as well resulting in no more than (7) workdays lost to recover.
3 Moderate Eg - Injury requiring medical treatment or ill-health leading to disability (includes lacerations, burns, sprains, minor fractures, dermatitis, deafness, and work-
related upper limb disorders).

There is a minor environmental pollution, health or injuries risks that can be handled in workplace without further external assistance.
2 Minor Eg- Injury or ill-health requiring first-aid only (includes minor cuts and bruises, irritation, ill-health with temporary discomfort).

1 Insignificant There Is no potential Environmental pollution, health or injuries risks.

GUIDANCE FOR DETERMING THE LIKELIHOOD OF AN INCIDENT

LEVEL LIKELIHOOD DESCRIPTION

5 Certain There are frequent accidents recurrence recorded in the said operations, activities or tasks in the Institution over the last year.
 4 Frequent There is at least once precedent recorded in the same operations, activities or over the last 3 years tasks in the Institution

3 Probabale/Possible There is at least one precedent recorded in similar operations, activities or tasks in UAE over the last 3 years.

2 Unlikely There is no precedent recorded in UAE, but it was recorded at least once in previous similar operations, activities or tasks abroad.

1 Rare There is no precedent in previous similar operations, activities or tasks.

RISK MATRIX
A simple 5 x 5 matrix has been adopted for all BEAM schools risk assessments, guidance on the risk ratings are
provided below:

RISK RATING
SCORE RATING
Operations, activities or tasks can be carried out by the current procedures.
1 to 5 Low (L)

6 to 12 Medium (M) Operations, activities or tasks can be maintained along with recommending the provision and implementation of other
additional measures or procedures.

14 to 25 High (H)
Operations, activities or tasks can be maintained; however, they necessitate providing obligatory additional measures
and procedures to control and handle within a specific period of time, while they are continuously monitored until
additional measures and procedures are met, complete and re–evaluated. Operations, activities or tasks shall immediately
cease function, if obligatory additional measures and procedures are not provided or achieved within the specified time
agreed to.
Operations, activities and tasks shall not be initiated in the current situation. It must cease immediately until they are reconsidered as well as taking necessary control measures and procedures and carrying
on re–evaluation for impacts and risks.
