BASELINE RISK ASSESSMENT GUIDE

Procedure for conducting the BASELINE RISK ASSESSMENT:
1. Identify and list all hazards in the area being assessed using FORM B. (Use prompt list on FORM A to help with identification)
2. Quantify each hazard i.e. 30kg Packages handled, 200liter diesel or 7 people exposed etc.
3. Identify the Risks associated with each hazard i.e. Back injuries, fire, and electrical shock.
4. Consider the existing control measures and then rank the risk from each hazard, using the scoring chart below.
5. Complete and distribute an action list to minimize/remove all risks identified according to risk priority list.
6. If the risk is Medium or High then further control is required if technically possible. For Low risk further control is only required if economically viable.
7. Any Very High risk activity or situation must be rectified immediately.
