    The document discusses risk assessment in the workplace. It defines risk as the probability that exposure to a hazard will lead to a negative consequence. Risk assessment involves identifying hazards, estimating the likelihood and potential consequences of risks, and evaluating risks. The process includes listing tasks and locations, identifying hazards and who they may harm, estimating risks based on likelihood and outcomes, and recording findings for review when changes occur. Risk assessment helps protect workers and businesses by examining potential causes of injury or illness.

    Risk
    • Risk: the probability that exposure to a hazard will
    lead to a negative consequence, or the probability of the
    hazard to harm is simply called Risk. It is the measure of
    human injury, environmental damage, or economic loss in
    terms of both the incident likelihood and the magnitude
    of the loss or injury or
    • Consequences: a result or effect, typically one that is unwelcome
    or unpleasant or the measure of the expected effects of the results
    of an incident
    • Likelihood: the state or fact of something's being likely;
    probability. A measure of the expected probability or frequency of
    occurrence of an event. This may be expressed as a frequency, a
    probability of occurrence during some time interval, or a conditional
    probability

    – Who might be harmed?
    – How might be they harmed?

    Lecturer: Engr. Babar Saeed 4


    Risk Assessment – (3/8)
    2. Estimate the Risk?
    • You need to consider three
    things
    • Who is at risk?
    • How likely is it that
    something go wrong?
    • How serious would the
    outcome be?

    Lecturer: Engr. Babar Saeed 5


    Lecturer: Engr. Babar Saeed 6
    Risk Assessment – (5/8)

    Risk = Consequences x Likelihood

    Now you have estimated the risk

    Risk Assessment – (6/8)
    3. Evaluate the Risk?

    Risk Assessment – (8/8)
    4. Record your findings
    • The location, activity and equipment being
    assessed
    • Hazards and risk levels
    • Risk controls
    • Assessor details
    • Date & Time
    5. Review your findings
    • When changes occur (Personal,
    Equipment, Activities) you should review
    your Risk Assessments
    • It’s a legal requirement to review
    assessments
