Description of work/ task to be completed:
| Contact Person/Project Manager: | Date: 26th August 16 | |||||
| Instructions on completion of Risk Assessment Form: 1.Break the job down into steps. 2.Identify the safety hazards associated with each job step and potential incidents which could occur. 3.Use the Risk Matrix to determine the initial risk of each hazard (with existing controls in place). Record Initial risk level i.e. where Consequence and Likelihood meet. 4.Consider additional control measures to reduce the risk of each hazard. Use the Hierarchy of Controls to ensure that elimination is the main aim and if not possible other controls are then implemented. 5.Use the Risk Matrix to re-risk score after additional controls added to reduce the risk where possible. | Risk Matrix Consequence Likelihood | Insignificant No injury | Minor First Aid Treatment required | Moderate Medical Treatment required | Major Permanent/ Extensive injuries/ disease | Critical Death |
| Almost Certain Expected to occur in most circumstances | Moderate | High | High | Extreme | Extreme | |
| Likely The event will probably occur in most circumstances | Moderate | Moderate | High | High | Extreme | |
| Possible The event might occur at some time | Low | Moderate | High | High | High | |
| Unlikely The event is not likely to occur | Low | Low | Moderate | Moderate | High | |
| Rare May occur only in exceptional circumstances | Low | Low | Moderate | Moderate | High | |
