DEFINITIONS :

Hazard: the ability of something to cause harm

Risk: the probability or likelihood of a hazard causing harm or loss

RISK ASSESSMENT – THE 5 STEP PROCESS :

1. Look for the hazards. Walk around the worksite and look at what could reasonable cause harm.
Highlight all hazards not just significant hazards. Consult with those who will do the job.
2. Decide who might be harmed. Think about others who may be affected, not just those involved but those carrying out adjacent
operations and even members of the public.
3. Assess the risks arising from the hazards. Decide for each significant hazard whether the risk is high, medium or low. Where
the risks are high or medium, then control measures must be considered to reduce them to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) or
negligible.
These controls should observe the following order:
 Elimination – Does the job need to be done?
 Substitution – Does the job need to be done in a particular way?
 Engineering Controls – Separate personal from hazards, e.g., machine guards.
 Procedural Controls – Minimise personal exposure, e.g., training, information , supervision, etc.
 PPE – Personal Protective Equipment, e.g., safety glasses, ear defenders, etc.
4. Record your findings. Record all findings for future reference and inform personnel of any significant findings.
5. Review Assessments. All assessments are to be reviewed as a matter of course and where there are changes to the worksite,
personnel, equipment, etc, steps 1 to 4 should be followed again.
