Risk Assessment Guidance Notes HS.RA.01
This Risk Assessment Guidance Notes will help duty holders and assessors carry out risk assessment, especially non-professional assessors and new appointees.
The notes explain in detail the 5 steps to risk assessment recommended by the HSE:
1. Look for and identify the hazards;
2. Decide who might be harmed;
3. Evaluate the level of risk(s) arising from the hazards and decide whether existing precautions are adequate or more should be done;
4. Record your findings;
5. Review your assessment from time to time and revise it if necessary.
The “How to do a Risk Assessment” Guidance Notes explain how to use of the updated Standard Risk Assessment Form and updated Risk Assessment Action Plan, including worked examples.
This Risk Assessment Guidance Notes also provide explanations on the application of the probability and severity evaluation of hazards and potential hazards identified during the risk assessment, and the use of priority ranking to help manage the risk assessment review process.
This Risk Assessment Guidance Notes is in open format.
