SSF 003 Risk Assessment Template

Risk Assessment

  • Risk is assessed in accordance with the HSE Guidance Note INDG163 (Rev 4) & assessments must be suitable and sufficient.
    Significant findings are to be recorded with risk eliminated as far as is reasonably practicable - this means balancing the level of risk against the measures needed to control the real risk in terms of money, time or trouble. However, you do not need to take action if it would be grossly disproportionate to the level of risk.

  • Risk Assessments are to be reviewed if there are improvements that can be made, if there are problems, significant changes to processes, conditions or anything is learnt from accidents or near-misses.

  • Briefly describe the Activity/Task/Process being undertaken

  • A hazard is anything that may cause harm, such as chemicals, electricity, working from ladders, etc.

  • The risk is the likelihood, high or low, that someone could be harmed by these and other hazards, together with an indication of the severity of the harm.

  • (Likelihood x Severity) = Risk Level

  • Tolerable - 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.

  • Moderate - Efforts should be made to reduce the risk. Risk reduction measures should be implemented with a defined time period. Where the moderate risk is associated with extremely harmful consequences further assessment may be necessary.

  • 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.

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