(1) Hazard Risk (2) Who might be harmed and how? (3) What controls exist to reduce
risk
(4) What action can be taken
to further reduce risk?
• Tripping hazard – bags,
tables, chairs, wires, roll out,
other people.
• Low hanging lights
• Eye
strain/headaches/migraines
• Water spill – fry the
motherboard, set it on fire.
• Bright
lights/headaches/migraines
• Rollout leaning against wall

Me, other students and teacher,
might injure body.
Me, other students and teacher,
might hit head or neck.
Me and other students, might make
eyes hurt, might get a headache.
Me, other students and teacher,
could possibly electrocute.
Me, other students and teacher,
could harm eyes and could give a
headache.
Me, other students and teacher,
could fall on someone or something
and break it.
• Put bags away, put chairs
under tables, cover wires
against wall, roll up the roll
out, and don’t purposefully
trip other people up.
• Tie up lights and wires and
make sure that they aren’t
of risk to anyone.
• Don’t look at screen for
long periods of time
otherwise you will get a
headache or a migraine
and you will be in pain.
• Put water away if not
drinking it, only take it out
when you need to drink it,
do not have water on desk
near electrics.
• Turn lights off when not in
use.
• Put it away in a place
where it isn’t hazardous.
• Have all bags in one place
where they can be seen so
that nobody can trip over
them without at least
seeing them.
• Tape wires to walls and
surfaces with electrical
tape so that they are
secured in place.
• Look away from screen
when your eyes are
beginning to hurt.
• Keep water in bag unless
you need to drink.
• Only turn on lights when
needed.
• Only have it out when you
need to use it.
2. 1. List hazards something with the potential to cause harm here:
Seek to quantify the level of risk the likelihood of harm arising based on the number of persons affected, how often they are exposed to the hazard and the
severity of any consequence.
2. List groups of people who are especially at risk from the significant hazards which you have identified
3. List existing controls here or note where the information may be found
4. List the risks which are not adequately controlled and the action you will take. Have regard for the level of risk, the cost of any action and the benefit you expect to
gain.
(1) Hazard Risk (2) Who might be harmed and how? (3) What controls exist to reduce
risk
(5) What action can be taken
to further reduce risk?
RISK RATING
a SEVERITY b LIKELIHOOD c FINAL SCORE RATING: what needs to be done
5 Dying or being permanently disabled 5 Will almost certainly happen 16-25 Stop! Do not start activity again until risk is
controlled
4 Serious injury/long term illness 4 Highly likely to happen 10-15 High risk level, High priority. Take action
straight away to control the risk
3. 3 Temporary disability/3 days off sick 3 Not so likely 6-9 Medium risk level. Tighten up controls and
make a plan to do something about risk
2 Will need medical attention 2 Even less likely 3-5 Fairly low risk level. Low priority but keep
possible action in mind
1 Minor injury eg. Bruise, graze 1 Unlikely to happen at all 1-2 Low or trivial risk. No further action
required.
SO: a x b = c
Action Required Responsible Person Date for Completion
