How to assess the risks in your workplace
· Identify the hazards
· Decide who might be harmed and how
· Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions
· Record your significant findings
· Review your assessment and update if necessary
HAZARD
|
WHO MIGHT BE HARMED?
|
IS THE RISK ADEQUATELY CONTROLLED?
|
WHAT FURTHER ACTION IS NECESSARY TO CONTROL THE RISK?
|
Look only for hazards which you could reasonably expect to result in significant harm under the conditions in your workplace. Use the following as a guide:
· Slipping/tripping
· Electricity (wiring)
· Fire (flammable materials)
· Dust (from grinding)
· Chemicals
· Fume
· Moving parts of machinery
· Manual handling
· Work at height
· Noise
· Vehicles
· Poor lighting
· Low temperature
|
There is no need to list individuals by name - just think about groups doing similar work or who may be affected.
E.g:
· Office staff
· Operators
· Maintenance personnel
· Cleaners
· Contractors
· Members of public
· People sharing your workplace
Pay particular attention to:
· Staff with disabilities
· Inexper. Staff
· Visitors
· Lone workers
|
, Have you already taken precautions against the risks from the hazards you listed?
For example,
· have you provided adequate info/training or systems/procedures?
Do the precautions:-
· Meet the standards set by a legal requirement?
· Comply with a recognised industry standard?
· Represent good practice?
· Reduce risk as far as reasonably practicable?
If so, then the risks are adequately controlled, but you need to indicate the precautions you have in place.
|
What more could you reasonably do for those risks which you found were not adequately controlled?
You will need to give priority to those risks which affect large numbers of people and/or could result in serious harm.
Apply these principles when taking further action, if possible in the following order:
· Remove the risk completely
· Try a less risky option
· Prevent access to the hazard (guarding)
· Organize work to reduce exposure to the hazard
· Issue personal protective equipment
· Provide welfare facilities

List groups of people who are especially at risk from the significant hazards which you have identified:

List existing controls here or note where the information may be found:

List the risks which are not adequately controlled and the action you will take where it is reasonably practicable to do more. You are entitled to take cost into account, unless the risk is high:

Myths of Understanding Risk
1. “Risk” must have a single, well-defined meaning.
2. The severity of risks should be judged according to probability-weighted averages of the severity of their outcomes.
3. Decisions on risk should be made by weighing total risks against total benefits.
4. Decisions on risk should be taken by experts rather than by operators/stake holders.
5. Risk-reducing measures in all different sectors of society should be decided according to the same standards.
6. Risk assessments should be based only on well-established scientific facts.
7. If there is a serious risk, then scientists will find it if they look for it.
