QN,STEPS IN RISK ASSESSMENT AT
THE WORK PLACE.
• What is a risk assessment? Risk assessment is a term used to
describe the overall process or method where you: Identify hazards
and risk factors that have the potential to cause harm (hazard
identification). Analyze and evaluate the risk associated with that
hazard (risk analysis, and risk evaluation).
• Here are common risk assessment examples: Health and Safety Risk
Assessment – a type of risk assessment used by safety managers to
determine health and safety risks associated with the job, work
environment, and current processes. Hazards can be identified as
biological, chemical, energy, environmental, and the like.
EXAMPLES
  
• Workplace Risk Assessment – performed by office managers and school
administrators, this tool helps ensure that a workplace is free from health and safety
threats. This assessment also helps boost employee morale and productivity.
• Fall Risk Assessment – performed by nursing staff of aged care units or centers to
evaluate the possibility of falling. This checklist will ensure that the facilities,
equipment, and other factors are safe for elderly patients.
• Construction Risk Assessment – a vital assessment used in the construction site to
help safety teams implement corrective measures and stakeholders comply with
safety regulations.
 THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAZARDS AND RISKS
• A hazard is anything that can cause harm, including work accidents,
emergency situations, toxic chemicals, employee conflicts, stress, and
more.
•  A risk, on the other hand, is the chance that a hazard will cause
harm. As part of your risk assessment plan, you will first identify
potential hazards and then calculate the risk or likelihood of those
hazards occurring.
 
GOALS OF RISK ASSESMENT
• Providing an analysis of possible threats
• Preventing injuries or illnesses
• Meeting legal requirements
• Creating awareness about hazards and risk
• Creating an accurate inventory of available assets
• Justifying the costs of managing risks
• Determining the budget to remediate risks
• Understanding the return on investment
Steps needed to manage risk
• identify hazards.
• asses the risk.
• control the risks.
• record your findings.
• review the control.
IDENTIFY HAZARDS
• Look around your workplace and think about what may cause harm (these
are called hazards). Think about:

• how people work and how plant and equipment are used
• what chemicals and substances are used
• what safe or unsafe work practices exist
• the general state of your premises
• Look back at your accident and ill health records as these can help you
identify less obvious hazards. Take account of non-routine operations, such
as maintenance, cleaning or changes in production cycles.
CONTINUATION
• Think about hazards to health, such as manual handling, use of chemicals and causes of work-related
stress.

• For each hazard, think about how employees, contractors, visitors or members of the public might be
harmed

• Vulnerable workers
• Some workers have particular requirements, for example young workers, migrant workers, new or
expectant mothers and people with disabilities.

• Talk to workers
• Involve your employees as they will usually have good ideas.
Assess the risks
• Once you have identified the hazards, decide how likely it is that
someone could be harmed and how serious it could be. This is
assessing the level of risk.
• Decide:
• who might be harmed and how
• what you're already doing to control the risks
• what further action you need to take to control the risks
• who needs to carry out the action
• when the action is needed by
Control the risks
• Look at what you're already doing, and the controls you already have in place. Ask
yourself:
• can I get rid of the hazard altogether?
• if not, how can I control the risks so that harm is unlikely?
• If you need further controls, consider:
• redesigning the job
• replacing the materials, machinery or process
• organising your work to reduce exposure to the materials, machinery or process
• identifying and implementing practical measures needed to work safely
• providing personal protective equipment and making sure workers wear it
continuation
• Put the controls you have identified in place. You're not expected to
eliminate all risks but you need to do everything 'reasonably
practicable' to protect people from harm. This means balancing the
level of risk against the measures needed to control the real risk in
terms of money, time or trouble
Record your findings
• If you employ 5 or more people, you must record your significant
findings, including.
• the hazards (things that may cause harm)
• who might be harmed and how
• what you are doing to control the risks
• To help you, we have a risk assessment template and examples. Do
not rely purely on paperwork as your main priority should be to
control the risks in practice.
Review the controls
• You must review the controls you have put in place to make sure they are working.
You should also review them if:
• they may no longer be effective
• there are changes in the workplace that could lead to new risks such as changes to:
• staff
• a process
• the substances or equipment used
• Also consider a review if your workers have spotted any problems or there have
been any accidents or near misses.
• Update your risk assessment record with any changes you make.

Goal of the Workplace Risk Assessment

Why is this workplace risk assessment needed? (Other than being legally required)
This workplace risk assessment is needed because the hotel is facing major risks and challenges at the moment
and we need to reevaluate our health and safety procedures.

How could this workplace risk assessment help your business and your employees?
This workplace risk assessment can help me run my business more safely, as there have been multiple incidents
involving different hazards that weren't prepared for.

The intended result of this workplace risk assessment is less incident and less employee turnover. Several staff
members have resigned due to the unsafe working environment.
