Where the need for risk assessment comes
from; and
The principles behind carrying out a risk
assessment.

Risk Assessment - What Is It?
1. Identification of hazards within the
workplace.
2. Determining the likelihood that these
hazards will cause harm.
3. Prioritising prevention and control
measures.

What is a Hazard?
Something with the potential to cause
harm
Examples: Electricity, Hazardous substances,
Working at Heights, Vehicles, broken
equipment, blocked passageways.

What is Risk?
The likelihood of harm resulting from a
hazard
Risk = Severity x Probability
Harm is death, injury, illness (includingpsychological) or disease that may be
suffered by a person from a hazard or a risk

Control Measures
Avoid risk
Combat risk at source Adapt work to the individual
Substitution
PPE/Training

The Legal Position
Health & Safety At Work Etc Act 1974
General duty to ensure health, safety and
welfare at work of all employees so far as isreasonably practicable.

Management of Health & Safety
at Work Regulations 1999 Legal duty on employers to carry out risk
assessments as first step in ensuring safe
and healthy workplace
Written record (5 or more employees)
Identify preventive and protective measures
Review assessments if no longer valid
Risk assessments must be Suitable andSufficient

Brainstorm
What hazards are staff and students exposed
to in the college.
Think of classrooms (not just businessclassroomsscience labs, motor vehicle,
woodwork, electrical, communal areas,
canteen, car parks, library, equipment used ,
other people, etc.
Activity 2: group workcomplete hazard

So we have looked at :
- Find the hazard- Assess the hazard - (we will refer to Risk
Matrixes later in the class)
Now how do we fix the hazard?Let us first look at the hierarchy of risk
control. Using the cards given by your tutor
put them in order of what you think would bethe most effective risk control method to the
least effective.

Hierarchy of Risk Control
This is a strategy used to identify the most
suitable control option.
Eliminate the hazards or risks
- eliminate the hazard or eliminate the risk
Change the risks to reduce them
- Substitute the risks with lesser risks- reduce the risks through engineering changes or
changes to systems of work
- isolate people from the risks
8/10/2019 Powerpoint on Risk Assessment
15/27
Contd:
Change people to reduce the risks
Reduce the level of harm using administrative
actionsUse personal protective equipment to protect
people from harm.
8/10/2019 Powerpoint on Risk Assessment

Remember: - although elimination is the
best solution, as it gets rid of the hazard all
together, it is not always possible.
Elimination of a hazard may mean that a
vital function can no longer be carried outor the cost may far outweigh the benefits.
When this occurs you move down the list
until you have a fix that is practical andreasonable, relative to the level of risk.

Risk assessment and control
Now we know how to identify hazards and
assess them we have to be able to determine
the level of risk. Not all hazards lead tosevere risk. We can identify major,
moderate and minor consequences that arise
from the likelihood of an event occuring. A risk assessment matrix is used to assist in
determining the level of risk.
8/10/2019 Powerpoint on Risk Assessment

The level of risk is determined by looking atthe likelihood that the event (risk) will
occur and how serious the consequences or
impacts are of that risk occurring.

Interactive Activity
Before we identify risks and hazards in the
college let us see what you can recognise in
the office situation. HSE Office Risk assessment
Remember look at the questions asked as
these can be helpful when it comes toassessing risks and hazards in your
assignment.

Classroom Assessment
Complete the HSE Classroom checklist.
Discuss what further action is needed
Complete a RA matrix to assess the level of
risk.
