This document provides a general risk assessment form for the BBC. It lists various situational, physical/chemical, and health hazards that may be encountered. It includes a risk matrix to determine the likelihood and severity of harm for each identified hazard. The form is to be completed by listing team members involved and the site/location. It requires outlining the proposed activities and identifying applicable hazards to assess risks and ensure health and safety. Authorization is needed if the assessor is not completing the form.
