Health and Safety: Risk Assessments - Thinking Survival of the Safest
Risk assessment (RA) processes should ideally start at the planning stage of the work activity, continuing throughout the work activity itself and should be concluded in periodic reviews, to ensure that the risk assessment is always current task specific and complete. Technical Data used in the field explained in iosh course in Islamabad.
An initial assessment must be made to ascertain whether or not each hazard presents a significant risk of injury or damage in the activity. The level of risk arising from each hazard must then be quantified using the risk matrix considering current company procedures and existing permits / work controls.
When all the initial significant hazards have been identified, a supervisor should look to minimize the risk to as low as reasonably practicable by listing specific precautions and ensuring there is full compliance by the workforce and the other effected people towards the controls. The precautions should address each of the hazards in turn and before moving to the next identified hazard, the supervisor must ensure the risk of injury is as low as reasonably practicable. Some more details of iosh course in Islamabad are as under.
Following the introduction of the preventative measures the hazards need to be re-addressed to ensure that the residual risk of each hazard has achieved a low risk rating. Any hazards that present a risk rating higher than "low" following the introduction of the preventative measures should not continue. The work activity should be revisited in an attempt to find an alternative method for completion or additional preventative measures in order for the work to be carried out without risk of injury or damage. Residual risk identification should be carried out in the same way as the initial assessment in that each hazard is considered in turn and the risk of the injury / damage being quantified.
The description of all the steps involved within the work activity should contain sufficient detail so that the people carrying out the RA can identify all relevant hazards and identify cost efficient reasonably practicable means in which to control them. Persons at risk from the work activity not only means the people carrying out the activity, but also everyone else who may be effected in any way by the work activity, for example anyone passing the activity, anyone working above or below the activity or the general public.
