Frequently asked questions

What are the common steps in a hazard identification and risk assessment process?

Key steps include identifying hazards, determining who might be harmed and how, evaluating and prioritizing risks, deciding on controls, implementing actions, and regularly reviewing and updating assessments as needed.

What types of hazards should businesses look for during risk assessment?

Organizations should look for physical hazards (like machinery or slips), chemical risks, biological threats, ergonomic factors, and psychosocial risks such as stress or harassment. The specific hazards depend on the industry and work performed.

Which regulations govern hazard identification and risk assessment in the workplace?

Regulations vary by country, but examples include OSHA in the United States, HSE in the UK, and ISO 45001 globally. These standards outline employer responsibilities and the required documentation for hazard and risk assessments.

How do you prioritize risks after hazard identification?

Risks are usually prioritized by their likelihood and potential impact. Use a risk matrix or scoring system to rank each hazard, then focus resources on controlling the highest-ranked risks first.
