RISK ASSESSMENT
TASK STEPS in sequence they are ca

(include contextual influences)
HAZARDS
(Source of danger)
(e.g. exposure to electricity, chemicals, moving objects; repetitive work, working at height, bullying, violence, virus, toxic substance…)
RISKS
(Potential negative consequences)
(e.g. sprain, fracture, crush, puncture, poison, infection, chronic lung disease, electrocution, toxic effects, burns, drowning, dehydration…)
EXISTING CONTROLS
Describe how defined exposure to harmful energy is prevented?
(E.g. Isolation: establish a wall; Engineering: trolley, forklift; Administrative: training, rules, procedure; PPE: safety glasses, dust mask, gloves, hard hat…)
TYPE
OF
CONTROL
LEVEL OF RISK
ADDITIONAL CONTROLS
Describe how risk of exposure to hazards can be minimised.
Consider the type of control measure: elimination (EL), substitution (S), isolation (I), engineering controls (E), administrative controls (A), personal protective equipment (PPE)

Key: L = Likelihood. C = Consequence. Hazard =a source of harmful energy and if eliminated there is no risk of harm. Risk = the effect of uncertainty on objectives. The effect is a potential outcome that is determined by context. Acceptance of the effect (negative or positive) is influenced by human values (Cross 2012).
Evaluation of Risk Control Treatment
EVALUATION OF RISK CONTROL TREATMENT
Discuss how effective are cu
ent (existing) risk control measures in relation to the hierarchy of control measures, Discuss whether the risk is acceptable, tolerable or not acceptable. If further risk control is wa
anted, consider risk control options in relation to the level of control they offer and what might be reasonably practicable to do for this situation. Support you assertions with references.
