hazard
Identify the hazards. Know _____ might be harmed
“Who”
Evaluate the Risks / How bad and how likely are the risks - consider______, ______, _______, ______ individuals are exposed to hazards.
What’s the worst that can happen? What are the chances of it happening?
how
where
how much
how long
(Above is yung risk, so “who” is for hazard)
Assign a Risk Rating to your hazard using a Risk Assessment Matrix based on the _______ of occurrence and ________ of potential injuries
likelihood
severity
For reading only
Decide on the Control measure to implement – are the risks well controlled or should we put better controls in-place? Then there is a need to identify actions and assign responsibility ad determine program for completion.

How to Perform Risk Assessment (incase of ESSAY)
– Identify the hazards
– Evaluate the Risks / How bad and how likely are the risks (Thru risk assessment)
– Decide on the Control measure to implement (thru 5 control measures)
– Document your Findings
In performing risk assessment, the last step is to “Document your Findings” – but only record the ________ and keep it concise and easy to read
significant risks
For reading only
examples of hazards and risk:
HAZARD: Frequent bending to load a pallet with boxes.
RISK: A manual handling injury to the back
HAZARD: A hot-tempered supervisor screaming at staff.
RISK: A mental health issue for a staff member.
HAZARD: An extension cord running across a frequently used hallway.
RISK: A trip and possible injury resulting.
Summary
Hazard = Cause
Risk = Effect
________ describes the:
- How likely the risk to occur?
- Likelihood
Probability
_______ describes the:
- How harmful or serious or critical the effect would be due to the risk
Severity
For reading only
– Hazard (stairs)
– Hazardous situation (may kasalubong sa hagdan, di pa nangyayare yung risk)
– Hazardous event (Nagbanggaan kayo ng kasalubong sa hagdaan)
– Harm (injuries aused by the risk
noted
Three levels of Severity
(for risk matrix incase di provided)
– Slightly Harmful (low)
– Harmful (med)
– Very harmful (high)
Three levels of probability
(for risk matrix incase di provided)
– Possible or Unlikely to occur (n=0) (low)
– Likely to occur frequently (n=1) (Med)
– Almost certain to occur or very likely (n>1) (High)
if high ang risk rating, due date for proposed control is AT MOST when?
TODAY
If medium and risk rating, due date for proposed control is AT MOST when?
