Risk is the likelihood that a person may be harmed or suffers adverse health effects if exposed to a hazard. In other words, risk is the chance, that any hazard will actually cause somebody harm.
Risk = (Hazard × Vulnerability) / Capacity
(Source: The UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR, 2006)
In short, Risk is the likelihood that a specified harm is caused from a particular hazard.
Risk is a computation of the likelihood of harm being done and severity of that harm.
Risk = Likelihood X Severity

Risk is a computation of the
likelihood of harm being done
and severity of that harm.
Risk = Likelihood X Severity
9. Risk assessment is the process where:
Identify hazards.
Analyze or evaluate the risk associated with that hazard.
Determine appropriate ways to eliminate or control the
hazard.
In practical terms, a risk assessment is a thorough look at your
workplace to identify those things, situations or processes that may
cause harm, particularly to people, assets, environment or business
reputation.
Risk Assessment
10. Why is Risk Assessment important?
Risk assessment is very important as it helps:
a) To prevent occupational risks
b) To create awareness of hazards and risks.
c) To identify who may be at risk (employees, cleaners,
visitors, contractors, public, etc).
d) To determine if existing control measures are adequate
or if more should be done.
e) To prevent injuries or illnesses
f) To prioritize hazards and control measures
11. Methods of Risk Assessment
Qualitative:
Qualitative analysis is the scientific study of data that can be
observed, but not measured. Techniques of qualitative assessment
are-
Safety Review
Checklists Analysis
Brainstorming
What-lf-Analysis (Possible outcomes of change)
FMEA (Failure Mode Effect Analysis)-Equipment failure
causes
Task Analysis- Maintenance activities
13. 1) Hazard identification
2) Identify who might be harmed and how
3) Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions
4) Identify control measures and record your
findings
5) Communicate risks and recommend actions and
review if needed
Steps of Risk Assessment
14. Hazard: A hazard is a potential source of harm or adverse effect
on life, property, environment and business reputation. In short,
a hazard is something that can cause harm e.g. electricity,
chemicals, working up a ladder, noise, structure, fire etc.
1) Hazard identification
15. According to OHSAS 18001:1999, “Hazard is a source or situation
with a potential for harm in terms of human injury or illness
health, damage to property, damage to the environment, or a
combination of these”.
16.
17. i). Physical Hazard:
Hazards caused by transfer of energy between an object and a
worker.
Types of physical hazard include:
i. Mechanical Hazard
ii. Electrical Hazard
iii.Thermal Hazard
iv.Environmental Hazard noise, radiation, pollution
v. Slips, Trips and Falls
Classification of Hazard
18. ii) Chemical Hazard
Hazards caused by inhale or contact with chemicals.
Chemicals may be
Corrosive
Poisonous
Explosion
Chemical are found as
Solid
Liquid
Gas
19. iii) Biological Hazard
Hazards caused by contact with living organisms or their by-
products.
Types of substances you may be exposed to include
Blood or other body fluids
Fungus
Bacteria and viruses
Plants
Insect bites
20. iv) Ergonomic Hazard
Hazards that occur when work, body position or working
conditions or environment put strain on one’s body.
Ergonomic hazards include
Posture
Workstation
Work Environment
21. v) Psychosocial Hazard
Hazards associated with the mental stresses of work.
Psychological hazards are caused by
Workload
Workplace Violence
Harassment
Peer Group Pressure
22. 2) Identify who might be harmed and how
Workers carrying out the task
Maintenance staffs
Property
Visitors
Other nearby workers
Environment
Company reputation
Pregnant women
Persons with disabilities
New or young workers
23. 3) Evaluate the risks
Evaluation of Risk Through Matrix Model
Matrix Model was first introduced in 1850 by James Joseph
Sylvester .
According to Matrix Model
Risk = Likelihood X Severity
Likelihood = How often/probability
Severity = Degree of harm
32. 5) Communicate risks and recommend actions and
review if needed
Inform the Relevant People
• Chemical handler
• Machine operator
• lron section
• Other people at risk
Make the Case to Management
• Top management
• Department managers
• Supervisors
