Note:
For normal circumstances the risk management shall be reviewedon annual basis, and depending on the magnitude of risks and the potential severity of hazards, these should be immediately reviewed by competent staff. As a
typical issue for these reviews one should verify if the base assumptions have changed since the original design was implemented or since the risks were reviewed previously i.e.:
If the Plant/equipment performance lived up to the expectations of the original design in terms of accidents, incidents and equipment uptime.
If there are changes in the work environment or the work practices concerning the hazard which the risk assessment addressed.
There is evidence that the risk assessment is no longer valid.
If someone is harmed from exposure to the hazard that the assessment dealt with.
Are the Legislation and/or public perceptions changed regarding what is now considered acceptable/unacceptable?
