OHS Risk Assessment of Work

1. OHS Risk Assessment of Work

2. Overall procedure • Identify hazards • Assess Inherent Risk (without controls) • Using Consequence & Likelihood tables • Determine Management Controls • Assess Residual Risk (with controls) • Monitor controls

3. Procedure Step 1 • Identify hazards, using checklist (enter on form)

4. List of hazards

5. Procedure Step 2 • Determine Inherent Risk ie the risk that exists without any controls • Determine consequence • Determine likelihood • Enter into IR table using the numerical values

6. Consequence

7. Likelihood

8. Risk Matrix

9. Legend

10. Procedure Step 3 • Enter Inherent Risk onto form

11. Procedure Step 4 • Determine the Residual Risk ie the risk that remains after implementing measures to reduce it:

12. Procedure Step 5 • Enter the existing (management) controls for each hazard onto form • Determine if existing controls are very good, reasonable or poor

13. ManagementControls

14. Procedure • Plot Inherent Risk against the assessed quality of the existing management control of the risk to determine the Residual Risk

15. Risk Matrix for Residual Risk

16. Legend Residual risk is high - attend to immediately Residual risk is moderate - attend to in short term Residual risk is low - attend to in longer term

17. Procedure Step 6 • Take action where necessary! • Use hierarchy of controls when determining any controls that need to be implemented:

18. Hierarchy of Controls • Elimination • Substitution • Isolation • Engineering control • Administrative control • PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)

19. Procedure Step 7 • Monitor controls
