The Risk Assessment Form is vital for businesses seeking to assess risk and implement control measures in order to avoid injury or harm.
The form is ideally used prior to commencing new projects or jobs as it assists businesses to:
- identify hazards
- assess risks (major, moderate and minor), and
- control the risks (put steps or procedures in place to ensure the risk does not cause harm).
Recording findings in the Risk Assessment Form enables businesses to review and evaluate the controls they have in place to ensure safety for people, property and the environment.
This form enables businesses to:
- record task descriptions
- nominate a health and safety representative
- complete a Qualitative Measures of Consequence of Impact table
- complete a Qualitative Measures of Likelihood table
- complete a Qualitative Risk Analysis Matrix (Level of Risk), and
- complete a risk assessment to review findings and describe what controls are in place.
