– HAZOPs.
– Involvement of others.
Also, Job Safety Analysis.
Step 2 - Who Might be Harmed
What is risk?
It is a measure of the
likelihood of harm
occurring and the
severity of that harm.
Step 3 - Evaluate the Risk

1 = trivial risk 9 = high risk

Step 5 - Review of Assessment
• Assessments must be reviewed if:
– There is reason to suspect it is
no longer valid.
– There has been a significant
change.
• It is best practice to review
assessments periodically.
The 5 Steps of Risk Assessment
1. Identify the hazards.
2. Identify the people
who might be harmed.
3. Evaluate the risk.
4. Record your findings.

Permits-to-Work
Permits-to-Work
“These are formal documents specifying
work to be done and precautions to be
taken. Work can only start when safe
procedures have been defined and put into
place. The permit provides a clear written
record, signed by a responsible officer, that
all forseeable hazards have been
considered and all necessary actions have
been taken. It must be in the possession of
the person in charge of the operation
before work can commence.”
Permits-to-Work
“Operations mostly relate
to maintenance work
which can only be carried
out if normal safeguards
are dropped. It can also
include certain types of
routine work which
demands that special
precautions are taken.”
