HAZARD IDENTIFICATION & RISK ASSESSMENT

RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESS

1. Identify Risks – These may include brainstorming, Intracting with workforces, Site visit, systematic process reviews, Process Hazard Analysis
and Job Observations

2.Analyse Risks – Determine consequences and likelihood of each risk. Write these items onto the table next to each risk.
Severity Likelihood
Level Descriptor Level Descriptor
1 Minor 1 Improbable
2 Appreciable 2 Remote
3 Serious 3 Occasional
4 Major 4 Probable
5 Catastrophic 5 Frequent
3. Evaluate Risks –Use the grid below to identify the level of risk.
How severely could it How likely is it to be that bad?
-- + + + ++
Hurt someone or how will could it make someone? Extremely Common or
1-7=Low Risk, 8-14= Medium Risk, 15-19= High Risk, 20-25= very high risk unlikely to repeating
occur occurrences

! (1) Minor (Not signifiacnt/No lost time) 1 2 3 4 5

!! (2) Appreciable (First aid required) 2 4 6 8 10

!!!(3) Serious (medical attention and several days off work) 3 6 9 12 15

!!!!(4) Major (Fatality) 4 8 12 16 20

N Catastrophic (Multiple fatality) 5 10 15 20 25

4. Identify and evaluate existing risk controls – Identify what happens already to manage the risks and consider how well these strategies are
working (good, adequate, variable). How does this effect the level of risk? Fill these items in on the table. If you are not happy with the level of risk
at this stage proceed to step 5.

5. Further risk treatments and opportunities for improvement – What actions are needed to bring risks to an acceptable level (these actions
are incorporated into other planning processes and include responsibilities, resources and timelines)? What opportunities are there for
improvement? Write these onto the table.
