   Management of Health and Safety at Work
    Regulations
    ◦ The risk assessment shall be ‘suitable and sufficient’ and
      cover both employees and non-employees affected by
      the employer’s undertaking (e.g. contractors, members
      of the public, students, patients, customers, etc.,)
    ◦ Any risk assessment shall be reviewed if there is reason
      to suspect change has taken place
    ◦ The significant findings of the assessment shall be
      recorded and any specially at risk group of employees
      identified

    www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/priced/l21.pdf
Risk assessment methods are used to decide on
priorities and to set objectives for eliminating
hazards and reducing risks. Wherever possible,
risks are eliminated through selection and design of
facilities, equipment and processes. If risks cannot
be eliminated, they are minimised by the use of
physical controls or, as a last resort, through
systems of work and personal protective equipment.

  Risk Assessments




  Active Monitoring




    Benchmarking
   A suitable and sufficient risk assessment
    should:
    ◦ Identify the significant risks and ignore the trivial
      ones
    ◦ Identify and prioritise the measures required to
      comply with all relevant statutory provisions
    ◦ Remain appropriate to the nature of the work and
      valid over a reasonable period of time
   Your planning records should provide for :
    ◦ Identifying hazards and assessing risk, and deciding how
      they can be eliminated or controlled
    ◦ Complying with the Health and Safety laws that apply to
      the business
    ◦ Agreeing health and safety targets
    ◦ Design of tasks, processes, equipment, products and
      services, safe systems of work
    ◦ Procedure to deal with serious and imminent danger
    ◦ Co-operation with neighbours, and/or subcontractors
    ◦ Setting standards against which performance can be
      measured
   Standards help build a positive culture and
    control risks. They set out what people will do
    to deliver the policy and control risk. They
    should identify who does what, when and with
    what results.
   Standards must be:
    ◦ Measurable
    ◦ Achievable
    ◦ Realistic
   Statements such as:
    ◦ ‘Staff must be trained’ are difficult to measure if you
      don’t know exactly what ‘trained’ means and who is
      to do the work.
    ◦ ‘All machines will be guarded’ is difficult to achieve
      if there is no measure of the adequacy of the
      guarding.
   Hazard is the potential to cause harm
    ◦ Electricity is a high hazard
    ◦ Chemicals can be a medium hazard
    ◦ Using a ladder can be low hazardous
   Risk is the likelihood to cause harm
    ◦ Not switching off the electricity supply when
      carrying out maintenance would be a high risk of
      electrocution
    ◦ Touching chemicals without protective clothing may
      cause a medium risk of skin damage
    ◦ Using a ladder without a harness could mean a low
      risk of falling from height
   Working at Height             Conveyor Belts
   Manual Handling               Portable Electrical
   Slips, Trips and Falls         Equipment
   Falling Objects               Fire
   Operation of Lift Trucks      Hazardous Substances
   Traffic Movement              Lighting
   Electrical Equipment          Hygiene/Comfort
   Mechanical Equipment          Compressed Air
   Noise                         Visitors
   Hot Works                     Dust
   Dermatitis                           Body parts trapped
   Eye Irritation/Strain                Cuts
   Breathing Difficulties               Back pain
   Burns                                Fractures
   Being Trapped                        Strains/Sprains
   Shocks                               Over Exposure



Don’t forget to look at both short and long-term hazards!

   Prioritise – deal with high risk hazards first
   Assign someone who has the adequate
    authority to carry out the control measure
   Put a realistic deadline on when the action
    must be completed
   Check that the action has been completed
   Record all of the above
   Don’t forget to refer to the HSE website and
    check up on the guidelines www.hse.gov.uk/risk
   Remember, some are guidelines and some are
    requirements
   It’s easy to get carried away with
    recommendations and costs!
