BRIEF INTRODUCTION

The Risk Assessment document should include details of the

project or task, the personnel involved in the work and those who
may be affected by the work, and a list of hazards that may be
encountered. Under each of the main hazard headings, include sub-
categories - for example, environmental hazards can include the
weather and the location - and then list the associated control
measures.

LEARNING CONTENT

RISK ASSESSMENT

Risk assessment is a term used to describe the overall process or method where
you:

 Identify hazards and risk factors that have the potential to cause harm
(hazard identification).
 Analyze and evaluate the risk associated with that hazard (risk analysis, and
risk evaluation).
 Determine appropriate ways to eliminate the hazard or control the risk when
the hazard cannot be eliminated (risk control).

4
 A risk assessment is a thorough look at your workplace to identify those
things, situations, processes, etc. that may cause harm, particularly to people.
After identification is made, you analyze and evaluate how likely and severe the risk
is. When this determination is made, you can next, decide what measures should
be in place to effectively eliminate or control the harm from happening.

Occupational health and safety - Hazard identification and elimination and

risk assessment and control use the following terms:

Risk assessment – the overall process of hazard identification, risk analysis, and
risk evaluation.

Hazard identification – the process of finding, listing, and characterizing hazards.

Risk analysis – a process for comprehending the nature of hazards and

determining the level of risk.
Notes:
(1) Risk analysis provides a basis for risk evaluation and decisions about risk
control.
(2) Information can include current and historical data, theoretical analysis,
informed opinions, and the concerns of stakeholders.
(3) Risk analysis includes risk estimation.

Risk evaluation – the process of comparing an estimated risk against given risk
criteria to determine the significance of the risk.

Risk control – actions implementing risk evaluation decisions.

Note: Risk control can involve monitoring, re-evaluation, and compliance with
decisions.

Risk assessments are very important as they form an integral part of an

occupational health and safety management plan. They help to:

 Create awareness of hazards and risk.

 Identify who may be at risk (e.g., employees, cleaners, visitors, contractors,
the public, etc.).
 Determine whether a control program is required for a hazard.
 Determine if existing control measures are adequate or if more should be
done.
 Prevent injuries or illnesses, especially when done at the design or planning
stage.
 Prioritize hazards and control measures.
 Meet legal requirements where applicable.

The aim of the risk assessment process is to evaluate hazards, then remove that
hazard or minimize the level of its risk by adding control measures, as necessary.
By doing so, you have created a safer and healthier workplace.

The goal is to try to answer the following questions:

a. What can happen and under what circumstances?

b. What are the possible consequences?

5
 c. How likely are the possible consequences to occur?
d. Is the risk controlled effectively, or is further action required?

There may be many reasons a risk assessment is needed, including:

 Before new processes or activities are introduced.

 Before changes are introduced to existing processes or activities, including
when products, machinery, tools, equipment change or new information
concerning harm becomes available.
 When hazards are identified.

Overall, the goal is to find and record possible hazards that may be present in your
workplace. It may help to work as a team and include both people familiar with the
work area, as well as people who are not - this way you have both the experienced
and fresh eye to conduct the inspection. In either case, the person or team should
be competent to carry out the assessment and have good knowledge about the
hazard being assessed, any situations that might likely occur, and protective
measures appropriate to that hazard or risk.

To be sure that all hazards are found:

 Look at all aspects of the work.

 Include non-routine activities such as maintenance, repair, or cleaning.
 Look at accident / incident / near-miss records.
 Include people who work off site either at home, on other job sites, drivers,
teleworkers, with clients, etc.
 Look at the way the work is organized or done (include experience of people
doing the work, systems being used, etc.).
 Look at foreseeable unusual conditions (for example: possible impact on
hazard control procedures that may be unavailable in an emergency, power
outage, etc.).
 Determine whether a product, machine or equipment can be intentionally or
unintentionally changed (e.g., a safety guard that could be removed).
 Review all the phases of the lifecycle.
 Examine risks to visitors or the public.
 Consider the groups of people that may have a different level of risk such as
young or inexperienced workers, persons with disabilities, or new or
expectant mothers

TLVs may appear as:

TLV-TWA or time-weighted average, which is an average eight-hour exposure

limit;

TLV-STEL or short-term exposure limit, which is a fifteen-minute exposure

limit, or
TLV-C or ceiling, which is a limit which should never be exceeded without
protection.

 Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) is a cross-disciplinary area concerned
with protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or
employment.

The goal of all occupational safety and health programs is to foster a safe
work environment. As a secondary effect, it may also protect co-workers, family
members, employers, customers, suppliers, nearby communities, and other
members of the public who are impacted by the workplace environment. It may
involve interactions among many subject areas, including occupational
medicine, occupational (or industrial) hygiene, public health, safety engineering
/ industrial engineering, chemistry, health physics.

REMEMBER

It is important to know if your risk assessment was complete and

accurate. It is also essential to be sure that any changes in the
workplace have not introduced new hazards or changed hazards that
were once ranked as lower priority to a higher priority.
It is good practice to review your assessment on a regular basis to make
sure your control methods are effective.
