 GUIDELINES FOR RISK EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT

1.1. Risk Assessment

Risk refers to the likelihood of an event happening under specific conditions. This event involves exposure to a
hazard, which is something that has the potential to cause harm. Risk assessment is the process of not only
estimating the probability of the event but also evaluating the potential consequences in terms of injury, loss,
damage, or harm.
1.2. Risk Assessment Process
The steps for conducting a risk assessment are as follows:
▪ Identify the hazards: Determine potential sources of harm.
▪ Identify who might be harmed and how: Assess who could be affected and in what way.
▪ Evaluate the risks and implement control measures: Analyze the likelihood and severity of risks and put in
place measures to mitigate them.
▪ Record significant findings: Document the key results of the assessment.
▪ Review and update the assessment as needed: Regularly revisit the assessment and revise it if necessary.

1.3. Examination of the Hazards and Risk Associated

• Qualified personnel must be employed to assess the risks related to the identified hazard.
• These personnel should evaluate the following factors to determine the associated risks:
▪ Review the current control measures in place.
▪ Identify the employees who may be at risk.
▪ Assess the likelihood of the risk occurring.
▪ Evaluate potential severity.
▪ Determine the level of risk and its tolerability.
1.4. Evaluating the risk:
After gathering the required information about the hazards associated with work activities, the next step is to assess
the risks.
1.4.1. Risk Rating Score
Risk rating scores are a combination of two factors.
▪ The severity of the risk that could injure people or cause property damage.
▪ The likelihood of the risk that it could happen (Probability).

RISK RATING = LIKELIHOOD X SEVERITY

NOTE: Each activity must be assessed for the risk value for determining the level of Severity and likelihood are mentioned in
the table below.
