Health and Safety Risk Assessment

Step 1

• Step 1 identify the hazards
• Consideration should be given to what could
  reasonably be expected to cause harm
• Consider all tasks that may influence the risks
  associated with the task
• Both routine and non-routine activities should be
  considered.

• Step 2 identify who might be harmed and how
• This includes learners, employees, service users
  and clients, members of the public, contractors,
  visitors, trainees, casual employees, volunteer
  workers and the employees of others employers who
  share your workspace.

Step 3

• Step 3 identify the precautionary measures
  already in place to control the risk and any
  other remedial action that may be required
• Each hazard identified must be considered in
  terms of it likelihood to cause harm
• The risk from each hazard identified must be
  removed or reduced
• Even after all precautions have been taken, some
  risk usually remains
• It may be appropriate to gain advice and
  assistance on control measures from qualified and
  experienced person e.g. manufactures etc.

6
Step 3

• To assist in risk reduction the hierarchy of
  control should be used
• Eliminate the hazard
• Substitute with a less risky option
• Restrict access to the hazard e.g. guarding
• Organise the tasks and operations to reduce
  exposure to the hazard
• Use Personal Protective Equipment.

Record the evidence of implementation

• Always indicate on register the main control
  measures implemented to minimise risk of
  hazardous situations
• Note on your lesson plan specific controls
  implemented for that session activities
• Follow procedures
• Think safety reinforce and check understanding
