Risk Assessment

P3/ M2/ D1

• Risk Assessment: Aims to make people aware of what could go wrong and how to prevent problems from happening. It examines: - Possible hazards that may occur Risk: Possibility of something bad happening - Slipping on a wet floor… - Risks involved - Likelihood of them happening Action: Provide rubber matting to prevent slipping… - How the hazards could be prevented Hazard: Potential source of danger - Fire, harmful substances, Jewellery when playing sport…

Conducting a risk assessment…

First step is identifying the hazard/risk… Then use this formula:

Likelihood x Severity Likelyhood:

1.

Unlikely 2.

3.

Quite likely Very likely

E.G- capsizing a kayak: Likelihood: 2 Quite likely Severity:

1. No injury/ minor injury 2. Injury requiring medical assistance 3. Major injury or fatality

Severity: 1. No injury Likelihood x Severity= 2

Conducting a risk assessment…

• Control Measures: Minimise risk by introducing control measures where possible, to reduce the risk. E.G. coning off an area Is the risk Worth taking…??

Example Risk assessment form

Location of risk assessment: Risk assessor’s name: Date:

Hazard People at risk Likelihood Severity Level of risk Control Measures

Task: P3/ M2/ D1

So we are CRSYTAL clear…
