RISK ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES

Activity

Consider each of the occupations/disciplines and write down the individual activities
they are involved in to complete the job. Also consider others who may be working
nearby and who may be affected by the activity.

Hazard

Identify the hazards attached to each activity.

Hazard Effect

Determine the effect (consequence) of the hazard i.e. Injury, Damage or Loss which
could result.

Severity

Make a judgment on whether the hazard effect is low, medium or high (See Risk
Estimator Chart).

Probability

Make a judgment on the probability of an accident occurring e.g. low probability,

medium probability, high probability (see Risk Estimator Chart). Consider the
number of times the activity is carried out and how many people are involved in doing
it.

Risk

Multiply the two factors Severity x Probability. The product determines the level of
risk (See Risk Estimator Chart).

Existing

Review existing safeguards and determine whether they are adequate

Safeguard

to effectively control the risk.

Control Actions

Identify the actions required to eliminate or reduce the risk. Priority must be given to
potentially high and very high risks. Eliminate the risk through engineering controls
where possible.

Residual Risk

The recommended control actions and decide upon residual risk - is it trivial,
tolerable, moderate, high, very high. Are the control actions adequate? Is further
action required?

(Happens all the time)

Significant Risk = High Risk (6-9)

or Medium Risk (3-4)
in terms of probability and severity
Tolerable Risk = Risk reduced to an acceptable level = Low Risk (1-2)
Residual Risk
= Risk remaining after implementing recommended control actions (usually very minor).
