A Person Enters into the Cage and is Feeding a Lion
A Person Wearing Protective Devices Enters
into the Cage and is Feeding A Lion
A Person is Feeding A Lion Through A
Specially Designed Feed Opening

Record your findings

• the location, activity and

equipment being assessed
• hazards and risk levels
• risk controls
• assessor’s details
• date and time
• review date
Review your findings

When changes occur (personnel, equipment

or activities), you should review your risk
assessments.

It’s a legal requirement

to review assessments
regularly
Tips to improve your risk assessment:

• Make sure it’s suitable and sufficient

• Better data helps make better judgements
• Involve the people it’s likely to affect
• Conditions may vary from site to site
• Consider “on the spot” assessments
 Step 3 – IDENTIFY Hazard Control
Individual Exercise

Exercise Instructions
❑ Using the Hierarchy of Controls listed on the
previous slide, identify possible controls for the
hazards you identified in the previous exercise.
❑ Record your response.
