Generate New Ideas
        i.    Mind Mapping/Brainstorming
    A method of
ainstorming called mind mapping entails recording any ideas that come to mind, without excluding anything, in order to store them for a later stage of refinement. Therefore, it entails coming up with as many ideas as you can and writing them down so that you can subsequently perform a careful selection procedure.
    ii.Six creative questions
    Six original questions are incorporated into this method to encourage the development of fresh, original concepts as well as new approaches and procedures. The following are some of the six original questions that should be posed:
● Why?

● When?
● Who?
● What?
● How?

    Strategy for Assessing Risks
    Explanation of How the Strategy Can Be Used in the Workplace
    Create a hierarchy of controls
    It could be feasible to analyse hazards by doing a risk assessment based on their likelihood, in order to determine the likelihood of occu
ence, the severity of the impact, and the capacity to develop the best potential co
ective action.
    Strategy for Managing Risks
    Explanation of How the Strategy Can Be Used in the Workplace
    Create a hierarchy of controls
    By developing a hierarchy of risk controls, which includes a system to manage risks related to the project being executed, it would be able to manage hazards. Accordingly, depending on their nature and potential results, it may be able to prioritise and identify the risks that may need to be controlled first.
