I have after consultation with my employees as far as reasonably practicable identified and recorded all the significant hazards
and risks associated with the task that I am to perform with regards to this Risk Assessment
I have determined all measures that needs to be in place for this task, including changing the organization of work and design of safe
systems of work, necessary to eliminate, control, minimise, or where the risk still remains provided the necessary personal protective
equipment, and implemented them.
I undertake to periodically review the hazards identified and the risk assessed, to determine whether further elimination, control and
minimization of risk is possible
I have provided every employee as part of this risk assessment with the necessary training, information, instruction or
supervision to enable them to perform their work without risk to his/her Safety and Health.
I / we the undersigned hereby declare that the Responsible person in charge has made us familiar with the work-related hazards and risk
and the measures that must be taken to eliminate, control and minimise those hazards and risks:
