4 STEPS TO MANAGE HAZARDS
AND RISK
Evaluate results
After you think you’ve fixed the problem, find out whether the changes have been
effective. Get feedback from those affected by the changes and include them in any
modifications to their workplace or work routines. Look at your incident records to see if
numbers are going down.
Make sure your solution does not introduce new hazards. Maybe you and your workers can
even see more ways to make further improvements. Set a date to re-assess the risk. Choose
a timeframe appropriate to the task and the risk involved. If the work process changes, or
new equipment is introduced to a task, then the risk assessment must be reviewed.
