Risk Assessment
Risk assessment is the process of determining the level of risk associated with a work practice, activity, substance and/or piece of equipment. This will assist in the identification and management of hazards that may impact on everyone’s health and safety.
These are a guide only. They must be reviewed and modified in line with your worksite requirements and in consultation with relevant parties.
Conduct a risk assessment when:
- A work practice changes
- Prior to purchase and/or use of a new piece of equipment or substance
- Prior to an activity and/or event eg Gala Day, Sports Day, Fete
- Prior to hazardous work eg working at heights, construction
- Change in work environment eg refurbishment or renovation
