AFFECTED PERSONS

  • The presence of any of the following groups may affect the level of Risk (due to vulnerability, lack of knowledge etc) associated with the hazards identified above. Additional safety controls maybe necessary. Include all the groups relevant to this Risk assessment.

  • Affected Group 1:

  • Please specify how they are affected

  • Describe the Existing Control System (to prevent accidents/incidents)

  • Affected Group 2:

  • Please specify how they are affected

  • Describe the Existing Control System (to prevent accidents/incidents)

  • Affected Group 3:

  • Please specify how they are affected

  • Describe the Existing Control System (to prevent accidents/incidents)

  • Please specify how they are affected

  • Describe the Existing Control System (to prevent accidents/incidents)

  • Affected Group 5:

RISK LEVEL = LIKELIHOOD x SEVERITY

  • SEVERITY

  • LIKELIHOOD Slightly Harmful Harmful Extremely Harmful

  • Highly Unlikely Trivial Risk 1 Tolerable Risk 2 Moderate Risk 3

  • Unlikely Tolerable Risk 2 Moderate Risk 3 Substantial Risk 4

  • Likely Moderate Risk 3 Substantial Risk 4 Intolerable Risk 5

ACTION DEFINITIONS

  • 1. Trivial No Action is required and no documentary records need to be kept

  • 2. Tolerable No additional controls are required. Consideration may be given to a more cost effective solution or improvement that imposes no additional cost burden. Monitoring is required to ensure that the controls are maintained.

  • 3. Moderate Efforts should be made to reduce the risk, but the costs of prevention should be carefully measured and limited. Risk reduction measures should be implemented within a defined time period. Where the moderate risk is associated with extremely harmful consequences, further assessment may be necessary. This is to establish more precisely the likelihood of harm as a basis for determining the need for improved control measures.

  • 4. Substantial Work should not be started or access permitted until the risk has been reduced. Considerable resources may have to be allocated to reduce the risk. Where the risk involves work in progress, urgent action should be taken

  • 5. Intolerable Work should not be started, continued or access permitted until the risk has been reduced to an acceptable level. If it is not possible to reduce the risk even with unlimited resources, work has to remain prohibited
