  • Are there any hazards specific to this job, or that are unable to be controlled in the normal way? Add as many as you need. HINT: Especially think about anything not routinely encountered.

  • Use the below risk rating matrix and hierarchy of controls tools to select the most effective controls and ensure the risk is reduced to an acceptable level (moderate or less)

    Risk Rating and Control Selection.JPG
  • Add each hazard

  • HAZARD
  • Describe the hazard / risk (What harm could occur and how?)

  • Describe the control measures (How will you reduce the likelihood and/or consequence of harm?)

  • What is the risk rating for this hazard, with controls implemented? (Use the matrix)

  • STOP! That risk to too high. Re-think your controls as they are not effective enough. Once you have determined controls, re-assess the risk. You cannot proceed with work with a risk rating of High or Extreme. Call the office if you need help.
