  • This checklist provides a review to assist in identifying significant hazards for completing the Analytical Risk Assessment.
    Having carried out the dynamic risk assessment and established a tactical mode, an incident commander should be aware of the immediate hazards, who is at risk and the control measures necessary to protect them. This initial assessment now forms the basis of a more detailed incident risk assessment known as an analytical risk assessment (ARA). This should be completed and recorded on all occasions when the recorded dynamic risk assessment is not sufficient. Recommend early completion of ARA where Defensive mode is declared.
    Once completed this information should be communicated effectively with all relevant agencies attending the scene and the risk information shared to improve the situational awareness of all on scene. The person who completes the analytical risk assessment should be competent. They need to bring their findings to the attention of the incident or sector commander. These should include details of any hazards, risks and control measures. ref: Foundation for incident command NOG page 46.
