• safe@work General Module, sections on Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control and on the common hazards such as electricity and manual handling.
• Relevant safe@work Industry Module.
• Information Sheet and Risk Assessment Chart.

 

Task:

1. Choose an industry or type of workplace e.g. manufacturing, hairdressing salon
2. Make a list of hazards that may be present in that workplace e.g. slippery floors from spilt water, oil etc; uneven floors from changing floor level (the teacher could list these on the board).
3. Choose 3 or 4 hazards and list them on your Worksheet.
4. Read the Information Sheet and the relevant information from safe@work
5. Use the Risk Assessment Chart to assess the risk.
6. Write down ways to control the hazards on the Worksheet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Worksheet

Spot the Hazard	Assess the Risk	Make the Changes
A Hazard is anything that could hurt you or someone else	Work out how likely it is that the hazard will hurt someone and how badly they could be hurt	Eliminate, substitute, isolate, add safeguards, use safest way, use protective equipment
List the hazards · · · · · · · · ·	Describe the risks · · · · · · · · ·	Suggest ways to control the risks · · · · · · · · ·

 

 

Information Sheet

 

To carry out a basic risk assessment

 

Follow the four steps

STEP 1: INFORMATION

Gather information about each hazard identified.

STEP 2: LIKELIHOOD

Think about how many young people are likely to be exposed to each hazard and for how long.

You need to take into account the different situations/conditions that may exist in your workplace that may increase the likelihood, such as a change to operations, inspection, cleaning, maintenance, servicing and repair, new or inexperienced staff.

STEP 3: CONSEQUENCES

Use the information to assess the consequences of each hazard.

• Fatality
• Major injuries (significant long term effects)
• Minor injuries (usually requiring several days off work)
• Negligible injuries (maybe first aid)

STEP 4: RATING THE RISK

Use the risk table on the next page to work out the risk associated with each hazard.

What information do you have on each hazard?

 

Who will be exposed to the hazard and for how long?

 

 

 

 

What will the consequences be if the hazard to health actually causes AN Injury or harm to health?

 

 

 

How do you rate this risk?

 

 

 

 

Risk Assessment Chart

	Insignificant e.g. no injuries	Minor e.g. first aid onsite only	Moderate e.g. medical treatment	Major e.g. extensive injuries	Catastrophic e.g. fatalities
Very likely	SIGNIFICANT	SIGNIFICANT	HIGH	HIGH	HIGH
Likely	MODERATE	SIGNIFICANT	SIGNIFICANT	HIGH	HIGH
Moderate	LOW	MODERATE	SIGNIFICANT	HIGH	HIGH
Unlikely	LOW	LOW	MODERATE	SIGNIFICANT	HIGH
Highly unlikely (rare)	LOW	LOW	MODERATE	SIGNIFICANT	SIGNIFICANT
