• To determine risk, we shall first look at the likelihood of an event and the consequences of that event. Once the level of risk is decided our set controls will aim to reduce the risk

• The initial risk rating is gained by using the risk rating table

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• We rated the probability or likelihood as Very Likely as we would use the main entrance possibly twice a day

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• We rated the consequence as Catastrophic as a motor vehicle crash at the main entrance could cause a fatality

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• This means we have an initial risk rating of Extreme

• Then if we apply the controls as seen below, we will get the residual risk rating

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• For the risk of exiting a Road entrance

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• If you were to Check for traffic - only proceed when clear, ensure you are safe to proceed

• Your risk would drop from Extreme to High (which is the residual risk rating)

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• In this case, we have reduced the likelihood or probability of the risk down to highly unlikely, therefore the residual risk rating is now High

• Extreme

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• Review current controls to ensure they are still effective. Assess hierarchy to eliminate, minimise, continuous monitoring, specific work plan, specialist assistance may be required

CONTROL - Hierarchy of controls

• If you’ve identified and assessed a hazard as significant, it must be controlled using the hierarchy of controls

  Yes

  No

  N/A

• A significant hazard should be eliminated, if it can’t then isolate, and if that isn’t practicable, controls should be put in place to minimise the hazard

• If it is not a significant hazard the employer must still take all practicable steps to ensure the equipment or task is safe for employees

  Yes

  No
