It is important to monitor risk controls and review risk assessments regularly. Review is required when there is a change in the process, relevant legal changes, and where a cause for concern has arisen.
Reviews could be scheduled on an annual basis. If the risk assessment has substantially changed a new risk assessment is warr anted.

 Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment Steps:

Step 1: Identify Hazards Title (e.g. Physical Hazard, Fire Hazard, and Electrical Hazards).
Step 2: List Hazards Details identified (e.g. Tripping Hazard, Flammable Materials stored, Working in Electrical Cabinets).
Step 3: List Causes of Hazard (e.g. Untidy workplace, Hot work, un-isolated electrical supply).
Step 4: List Consequences of Hazard (e.g. Personnel Injury, Fire, electric shock).
Step 5: Determine Likelihood and Consequences to People, Assets, Environment, and Reputation from attached Risk
Assessment Matrix (Page 2) (this should be the most probable outcome without controls and should be listed as 2A, 3D
etc.).
Step 6. Calculate the Risk Index using the Qualitative or Semi-Quantitative Risk Assessment Matrix as deemed appropriate.
This is a product of Likelihood and Consequence and should be stated Low, Medium, High or Very High). Likelihood Descriptor to assist in Qualitative Assessment of Likelihood/ Frequency of Occurrence.
Step 7. List Existing Controls. (e.g. Tidy Site Policy, Hot Work Permit, Isolation of Electrical Supply).
