Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment Forms

For each project you will need to complete risk assessment forms. At the start of the risk assessment forms, you have a table of all the possible risks. The risk is then followed by a few other things that need to be noted. These include -

- Whether the risk is present (If the answer is yes, carry on, if the answer is no, no further action is needed)
- The severity of the risk
- The likelihood of the risk happening
- The risk factor (This can be calculated using a table on the risk assessment forms)

Once you have filled in the first table, you will need to decide what action to take. If the risk is Very Severe, you will need to take immediate action. If the risk is Severe, you will need to make it high priority to be sorted out. If there is a moderate risk, you will need to programme for action. If there is Low Risk, action may be required. If the decision is Negligible, it is probable acceptable.

You will then proceed on to listing each hazard that is identified. This will include a description of the hazard, the people exposed to the hazard, the action to take and the person responsible for the action.

You will then need to sign the document, your position and the date.
