Risk Control Measures Required to bring further down the Risk Rating

Ref #

{Description of Associated Hazard(s) please refer to generic Hazard Checklist (Below)}:

Likelihood 1 to 5

Existing Controls Strategy (What existing processes / controls are in place to manage the risk)?

Risk Rating (Likelihood x Severity) (1 to 25)

Severity 1 to 5

If any risk is identified as being 4 to 6 apply judgement. If 8 to 25 imperative to reduce the risk.

Tripping/ Slipping

Crushing

37

Improper access/ egress

Area housekeeping, highlight all obstructions with safety ribbon Maintain proper distance from lifting activities, Use tag line (ensure hand free lifting), No one is allowed to stand or work under suspended load Ensure proper access/ egress before workers entry, emergency exits & rescue routes must be available & clear

Confirm that the existing control measures are in place and working and then allocate Likelihood and Severity factors for the hazard. It may be necessary to get specialist advice when determining the factors for some hazards. However, for most situations the following table should be used as a guide. Likelihood is the possibility of an accident. Severity describes the most credible consequences, should the hazard cause an accident.
