Risk methodology

• This Risk Focus is for your site to apply and confirm that risk controls are in place for defined hazards for our operations. Work through the checklist and confirm risk controls are in place.
  
  If risk is not applicable to your operations, just select Not Applicable (N/A)
  
  If NOT in place, use the Actions icon to:
  Generate an iAuditor action to control the hazard
  Close out the action under the Actions tab in iAuditor
  
  Use the Note icon to:
  Describe any further relevant details about the hazard
  
  Use the Photos icon to: Capture an relevant photos about the hazard

• For each Hazard the following process has been applied to identify hazard, outline risk value and outline existing controls for verification.
  
  Step 1. Identify Hazard and outline detail.
  e.g. Risk of collapse of structure, crushing customer on sales floor.
  
  Step 2. Assign Risk Level based upon Risk Value with controls in place.
  Severity – What is the most likely consequence/outcome that would result from the hazard?
  
  Step 3. Outline existing controls in place or already instigated
  e.g. Redesign: Structure has been engineering and tested to hold minimum 250kg.
