    Lab1: Risk Assessment


    Risk Assessments
    Examples of Risk Assessments
    Risk assessments are essential to identify hazards and risks that may potentially cause harm to workers.
    There are a variety of risk assessments used across different industries tailoring specific needs and
    control measures. Here are common risk assessment examples:
    •Health and safety Risk Assessment: a type of risk assessment used by safety managers to determine
    health and safety risks associated with the job, work environment, and current processes. Hazards can be
    identified as biological, chemical, energy, environmental, and the like.

    •Workplace Risk Assessment: performed by office managers and school administrators, this tool helps
    ensure that a workplace is free from health and safety threats. This assessment also helps boost
    employee morale and productivity.

    •Fall Risk Assessment: performed by the nursing staff of aged care units or centers to evaluate the
    possibility of falling. This checklist will ensure that the facilities, equipment, and other factors are safe for
    elderly patients.

    •Construction Risk Assessment: a vital assessment used in the construction site to help safety teams
    01
    implement corrective measures and stakeholders comply with safety regulations.
    How to use a Risk Matrix?

    A risk matrix is often used during a risk assessment to measure the level of risk by considering the
    consequence/ severity and likelihood of injury to a worker after being exposed to a hazard. The two
    measures can then help determine the overall risk rating of the hazard. Two key questions to ask when
    using a risk matrix should be:

    Consequences: How bad would the most severe injury be if exposed to the hazard?
    Likelihood: How likely is the person to be injured if exposed to the hazard?
    The most common types are the 3×3 risk matrix, 4×4 risk matrix, and 5×5 risk matrix
    02
    Risk Assessment
    Hazard 1
    Biological (e.g. hygiene, disease, infection)
    Description of hazard:
    Rotten food and other materials scattered

    Risk rating
    Consequence Minor Injuries

    Risk rating Medium
    Controls
    Select control measures Elimination
    Administrative Controls

    03
    Hazard 2

    Description of hazard:
    Saw some chemicals stacked in one area. Some need to be disposed of and not to be mixed
    with other chemicals. Name of chemical(s) : Hydrazine and Hydrocyanic acid

    Risk rating
    Consequence Minor Injuries

    Select control measures Administrative Controls
    PPE

    06
    07
    Hazard 5
    Description of hazard:
    The floors in the hallways are always wet, I think due to overcleaning/mopping of floors is
    too frequent.

    Risk related to hazard: Someone could trip and fall.


    Who might be harmed? Elderly people more affected
    Use this risk matrix to identify the risk level:

    Risk likelihood Very Likely


    Risk consequences Major Injury
    Risk level High
    Hazard causing risk can be eliminated? Yes

    08
    Hazard 6
    Description of hazard:
    One of the heaters is broken.
    Risk related to hazard: Someone might feel chilly while passing by that place (though it isn't winter)
    Who might be harmed? Those sensitive to cold
    Use this risk matrix to identify the risk level:

    Risk likelihood Unlikely


    Risk consequences Negligible Injury
    Risk level Low

    09
    Hazard 7
    Description of hazard:
    The huge chandelier in the middle of the lobby is broken, I think. It literally looks like it's about to fall.
    Risk related to hazard: The chandelier can crash and kill whoever is under it.
    Use this risk matrix to identify the risk level:

    Risk likelihood Very Likely


    Risk consequences Fatality
    Risk level High
    Hazard causing risk can be eliminated? No
    Are you already doing something to control Yes
    this risk (existing risk control measure) ?
    Further action needed to control the risk? Yes

    Briefly describe the existing control measure: We are sectioning off that part of the lobby

    Hazard 8
    Description of hazard:
    Zack and Cody play too near the fireplace. I'm worried they might get burned or try to do something
    unsafe.
    Risk related to hazard: Burn injuries. The children could possibly start a fire, which would be a disaster
    Who might be harmed? Zack, Cody, and others in the hotel
    Use this risk matrix to identify the risk level:

    Risk likelihood Highly Unlikely


    Risk consequences Fatality
    Risk level Medium
    Are you already doing something to No
    control this risk (existing risk control
    measure)?
    Further action needed to control the risk? No
