Operational Areas for Risk Assessment
The following steps are to be taken for planning the risk assessment process:
1. Identify the team (Safety Engineer/ EHS MR, Safety Officer, Workshop Operators, Staff).
2. Identify the related hazards or environmental aspects.
3. Assess the risk associated to OHS Hazard or Environmental Impact
4. Analyze the required risk control measures
5. Identify Management Programme(s) if required
I. Electricity Usage of the Equipment’s
II. Load Lifting Operations
III. Manual Handling
IV. Vehicle Activities
