The document summarizes a risk assessment conducted at a school location. It identifies potential hazards such as tripping over bags, liquids near computers, tripping over cables, and overheating computers. It lists those who may be harmed, including students, teachers, and staff. Existing controls are noted such as having students place bags under tables and avoiding drinks near computers. Additional actions are proposed to further reduce risks, such as putting cables near walls and adding windows to doors. The assessment rates risks on severity and likelihood to prioritize actions needed.

1. List hazards something with the potential to cause harm here:


Seek to quantify the level of risk the likelihood of harm arising based on the number of persons affected, how often they are exposed to the hazard and the
severity of any consequence.
2. List groups of people who are especially at risk from the significant hazards which you have identified
3. List existing controls here or note where the information may be found
4. List the risks which are not adequately controlled and the action you will take. Have regard for the level of risk, the cost of any action and the benefit you expect to
gain.

RISK RATING

a SEVERITY b LIKELIHOOD c FINAL SCORE RATING: what needs to be done

5 Dying or being permanently disabled 5 Will almost certainly happen 16-25 Stop! Do not start activity again until risk is
controlled
4 Serious injury/long term illness 4 Highly likely to happen 10-15 High risk level, High priority. Take action
straight away to control the risk
3 Temporary disability/3 days off sick 3 Not so likely 6-9 Medium risk level. Tighten up controls and
make a plan to do something about risk
2 Will need medical attention 2 Even less likely 3-5 Fairly low risk level. Low priority but keep
possible action in mind
1 Minor injury eg. Bruise, graze 1 Unlikely to happen at all 1-2 Low or trivial risk. No further action
required.

SO: a x b = c
