Hazard Identification and Risk Management

3. Hazard Identification and Risk Management / Assessements

This is section 3 of 10 to be included in your submission.

Risk management is a vital element of health and safety management. Organisations should establish a process for identifying significant health and safety hazards within its operation and implement suitable and sufficient risk assessment processes to address both routine and non- routine activities. Procedures should also be established to review all risk assessments following significant changes to any process, organisational change or incident history.

Supporting evidence is required in key areas and need to include policies and procedures associated with this section such as current evidence of implementation and review. Examples of these are: 

  • Hazard identification;
  • Risk assessments;
  • Prevention and control measures;
  • Analysis of routine and non-routine activities;
  • Analysis of significant changes;
  • Communication of results and controls.
