This document discusses risk management in construction projects. It covers three key elements of risk: hazards, exposure of people to hazards, and how work connects people to hazards. It presents a hierarchy of controls to manage risk. It also discusses typical organization of construction projects and how they operate in complex environments with various trades. Safety plans are important to define roles and manage risks through standards, procedures and critical controls. The purpose of safety is to prevent harm, protect people, and promote improved ways of working.
