What you'll learn

  • Distinguish a hazard from a risk and explain why every task needs a suitable and sufficient risk assessment
  • Rate likelihood and consequence on a 5×5 risk matrix and read inherent versus residual risk
  • Apply the hierarchy of controls, starting at elimination, and justify remaining risk as ALARP
  • Write a Job Safety Analysis: break a task into steps, identify the hazards at each step and set controls for each step
  • Recognise when conditions have changed enough to stop the job and reassess
  • Lead risk-assessment teams and keep assessments alive through review and management of change
