18. Risk Assessment
- Hazard = anything that can cause harm, e.g. chemicals, electricity, machinery or working from ladders.
- Risk = the chance, high or low, that someone will be harmed by a hazard.
- Risk assessment identifies hazards, considers likelihood and consequences, and introduces controls to minimise risk.
18.1 Five Key Steps of Risk Assessment
- Identify potential hazards.
- Decide who might be harmed and how.
- Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions.
- Record the findings and implement them.
- Review the assessment regularly and update it when necessary.
