Risk Assessment
Share: 
Risk Assessment is a legal requirement under 2005 Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act.
Risk assessment is based on hazard identification (e.g. chemical, noise, working at heights) and assessing risk level (the likelihood of hazard occurring and causing harm).
All employers are legally required to conduct risk assessment of all activities within their workplace and keep written records.
A risk assessment is a careful examination of work activity, work equipment or process and involves the following basic steps:
- Hazards identification (this step involves understanding of work activity and collection of all relevant information)
- Identification of risk level (always consult with workers doing the work)
- Identification of control measures (in consultation with employees)
- Implementation of controls (put a clear action plan in place with deadlines and responsible personnel)
- Monitoring and review. This is a crucial step to ensure that control measures are effective.
The main aim of any risk assessment is to ensure that employees are adequately protected from workplace hazards.
