Risk assessment involves identifying hazards, analyzing associated risks, and determining appropriate controls. It is an important part of occupational health and safety management. The key steps are:
1) Identify hazards that could cause harm
2) Determine who may be affected and how
3) Evaluate risks and take action to reduce them, making a record of findings
4) Review risk assessments periodically to ensure safe practices are followed as work changes
The overall aim is to evaluate hazards and remove them or minimize risks through controls, creating a safer workplace by understanding what could happen and taking steps to prevent harm.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Risk assessment is a term used to describe the overall process or method
where you:
o Identify hazards and risk factors that have the potential to cause harm
(hazard identification).
o Analyze and evaluate the risk associated with that hazard (risk analysis, and
risk evaluation).
o Determine appropriate ways to eliminate the hazard, or control the risk when
the hazard cannot be eliminated (risk control).
A risk assessment is a thorough look at your workplace to identify those things,
situations, processes, etc. that may cause harm, particularly to people. After
identification is made, you analyze and evaluate how likely and severe the risk
is. When this determination is made, you can next, decide what measures
should be in place to effectively eliminate or control the harm from happening.
WHAT IS RISK ASSESSMENT ?
4. WHY IS RISK ASSESSMENT IMPORTANT?
o Risk assessments are very important as they form an integral part of an occupational health
and safety management plan. They help to:
o Create awareness of hazards and risk.
o Identify who may be at risk (e.g., employees, cleaners, visitors, contractors, the public, etc.).
o Determine whether a control program is required for a particular hazard.
o Determine if existing control measures are adequate or if more should be done.
o Prevent injuries or illnesses, especially when done at the design or planning stage.
o Prioritize hazards and control measures.
o Meet legal requirements where applicable.
6. Step 1: Identify hazards, i.e. anything that may cause
harm.
Employers have a duty to assess the health and safety
risks faced by their workers. Your employer must
systematically check for possible physical, mental,
chemical and biological hazards.
This is one common classification of hazards:
o Physical: e.g. lifting, awkward postures, slips and
trips, noise, dust, machinery, computer equipment,
etc.
o Mental: e.g. excess workload, long hours, working
with high-need clients, bullying, etc. These are also
called 'psychosocial' hazards, affecting mental health
and occurring within working relationships.
o Chemical: e.g. asbestos, cleaning fluids, aerosols, etc.
o Biological: including tuberculosis, hepatitis and other
infectious diseases faced by healthcare workers, home
care staff and other healthcare professionals.
7. Step 2: Decide who may be harmed, and how.
Identifying who is at risk starts with your organisation's
own full- and part-time employees. Employers must also
assess risks faced by agency and contract staff, visitors,
clients and other members of the public on their premises.
Employers must review work routines in all the different
locations and situations where their staff are employed.
For example:
o Home care supervisors must take due account of their
client's personal safety in the home, and ensure safe
working and lifting arrangements for their own home
care staff.
o In a supermarket, hazards are found in the repetitive
tasks at the checkout, in lifting loads, and in slips and
trips from spillages and obstacles in the shop and
storerooms. Staff face the risk of violence from
customers and intruders, especially in the evenings.
o In call centres, workstation equipment (i.e. desk,
screen, keyboard and chair) must be adjusted to suit
each employee.
8. Step 3: Assess / evaluate the risks and take action.
This means employers must consider how likely it is that
each hazard could cause harm. This will determine
whether or not your employer should reduce the level of
risk. Even after all precautions have been taken, some
risk usually remains. Employers must decide for each
remaining hazard whether the risk remains high, medium
or low.
9. Step 4: Make a record of the findings.
Employers with five or more staff are required to record in
writing the main findings of the risk assessment. This
record should include details of any hazards noted in the
risk assessment, and action taken to reduce or eliminate
risk.
This record provides proof that the assessment was carried
out, and is used as the basis for a later review of working
practices. The risk assessment is a working document. You
should be able to read it. It should not be locked away in a
cupboard.
10. Step 5: Review the risk assessment.
A risk assessment must be kept under review in order to:
•ensure that agreed safe working practices continue to
be applied (e.g. that management's safety instructions
are respected by supervisors and line managers); and
•take account of any new working practices, new
machinery or more demanding work targets.
28. The aim of the risk assessment process is to evaluate hazards, then remove
that hazard or minimize the level of its risk by adding control measures, as
necessary. By doing so, you have created a safer and healthier workplace.
The goal is to try to answer the following questions:
o What can happen and under what circumstances?
o What are the possible consequences?
o How likely are the possible consequences to occur?
o Is the risk controlled effectively, or is further action required?
