Risk management is the process of finding out what may cause an injury, deciding what may happen as
a result, and doing something about it.
The steps of risk management are:
• Identify the hazards to workplace health and safety arising from work activities
• Assess the risks
• Determine and implement control measures to reduce risk
• Monitor and review the effectiveness of the control measures
IDENTIFYING HAZARDS
Prior to commencing work, all hazards related to the work tasks should be identified. The selection of
the appropriate work procedure(s) will depend on the type of work procedure(s) and hazards involved.
Regular safety inspections will also identify hazards and ensure that control measures are in place.
RISK ASSESSMENT
Risk assessment allows appropriate control measures to be developed. Once hazards have been
identified, they should be assessed in terms of their potential to do harm. To assess risk, consideration
should be given to probability and consequences. (SEE RISK ASSESSMENT SCORE CHART - Pg 9).
RISK CONTROL
Risk control is the process of eliminating or reducing risk factors. Control measures should be chosen
and implemented to eliminate or reduce risk as far as practicable. When deciding on the most appro-
priate measures to use, practicality and acceptance of the control measures should be considered. Safe
Working Procedures will be developed for all high – medium risk hazards.
MONITOR AND REVIEW CONTROL MEASURES
The risk identification, assessment and control process requires regular monitoring to ensure the
implemented control measures perform as originally intended and continue to prevent or adequately
control the risk of injury or incident. Control measures should also be checked carefully to ensure that
new hazards are not created, directly or indirectly, by the original control measures.
