The document provides instructions for completing a project on risk assessment based on one's own work environment. It outlines 6 parts to the project: 1) Describing work tasks and environment 2) Identifying location hazards 3) Identifying equipment and substance hazards 4) Identifying activity hazards 5) Conducting risk assessments of activity hazards 6) Recommending risk controls for activity hazards The project aims to have students conduct a risk assessment of their own work environment and record the results on the provided sheets for marking.

1. Managing safely v3.1 – project
Introduction
As part of the Managing safely course, you have to complete a project and have it
assessed. You will be expected to carry out a risk assessment based on your own work
environment. You need to record the results on the attached sheets and submit them for
marking. Do not submit any additional material in support of your project work as only the
six parts of the A4 project will be assessed. The project can be word processed or hand
written.
When you have completed your work you should return it to
There is a two week time limit for the return of the project. Your project must be completed
and returned by
Instructions
Please read all of the instructions before starting work on your project.
The project is broken down into a number of parts. Please complete each section as

please include:
• a description of the location
• a description of the hazard – in relation to the location
• the number and occupation of people who could be affected by the hazard – in
relation to the location
• whether a risk assessment is recommended
Part 3 – a hazard checklist of permanent and/or temporary items of equipment and

Part 4 – a hazard checklist of the activities carried out within your work environment
Record a brief description of three hazards that may arise from within your work
environment. For each of these hazards please include:
• a description of the work activity
• a description of the hazard – in relation to the work activity
• the number and occupation of people who could be affected by the hazard – in
relation to the work activity
Note: for the purpose of this exercise all three activity hazards that you are
assessing on part 4 must require a risk assessment.
Part 5 – carrying out a risk assessment
Please carry out a risk assessment on all three of the activity hazards you have listed on
part 4. Please make sure you include:
• a description of the work activity
• a description of the hazard, hazardous event and expected consequence – in
relation to the work activity
• the number and occupation of people affected – in relation to the work activity

3. Part 6 – risk control recommendations
Please complete the risk control form for all three activity hazards you have listed on part
5. Please make sure you include:
• a description of the work activity and risk level from the risk assessment
• existing risk controls
• any further risk controls required - in relation to the work activity
• the residual risk (please use the 5 x 5 matrix) - in relation to the work activity
• a description of the type of monitoring required and how often - in relation to the
residual risk
Note: where you have large numbers of hazards in your work environment you will not
have space to record them all. In these circumstances, select a representative sample of
hazards for the purposes of this project and record only these. Remember that only three
hazards are required for parts 2, 3, and 4.
Each part has a maximum number of marks which can be awarded and details are given
in the table below.
Part Maximum marks
1 18
2 16
3 16
