Identify the hazards
In this task, you will identify the potential hazards that exist within the process. By recognizing the hazards, we can take appropriate measures to mitigate the risks and ensure a safe working environment. Consider the different aspects of the process and brainstorm potential hazards that may arise. What could go wrong? What are the potential risks? Are there any existing guidelines or regulations that outline specific hazards? Use your expertise and knowledge to identify all possible hazards.
Decide who might be harmed and how
In this task, you will determine who might be harmed by the identified hazards and how they might be affected. Consider employees, customers, visitors, or any other relevant stakeholders. By understanding who might be at risk, we can tailor our risk assessment and precautions to ensure their safety. Think about different scenarios and potential harm that could occur to each stakeholder. What are the specific risks and how might they manifest?
Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions
In this task, you will assess the risks associated with the identified hazards and determine appropriate precautions to mitigate those risks. Consider the severity and likelihood of each risk. Evaluate the existing control measures and identify any gaps or areas for improvement. By implementing effective precautions, we can minimize the potential impact of the identified risks. Think creatively and strategically to devise appropriate precautions. What actions can be taken to reduce or eliminate the risks?

Record your findings and implement them
In this task, you will record the findings from the risk assessment and outline the necessary actions to be taken. By documenting the assessment, we can ensure accountability and track progress in implementing the recommended precautions. What are the key findings from the assessment? What actions need to be taken? How will these actions be implemented and by whom? Ensure the action plan is thorough and includes specific steps and responsibilities.

Review your assessment and update if necessary
In this task, you will review the completed risk assessment and determine if any updates or revisions are necessary. As circumstances may change over time, it is important to regularly review the assessment to ensure its accuracy and effectiveness. Analyze the current state of the process and consider any new information or emerging risks that may require revision. Do the existing precautions still adequately address the identified risks? What updates, if any, need to be made to the assessment?
1
Yes
2
No
Keep record of the risk assessment
In this task, you will ensure that a record of the risk assessment is maintained for future reference. Documenting the assessment allows for transparency, accountability, and the ability to track changes over time. How will the assessment be recorded? Is there a specific format or template to be used? How will the record be stored and accessed by relevant stakeholders? Ensure all necessary information is captured and organized in a systematic manner.
Identify if there are any specific regulations you need to follow
In this task, you will identify any specific regulations or requirements that must be followed during the risk assessment process. Familiarize yourself with relevant laws, guidelines, or industry standards that may dictate specific precautions or controls. Consider the jurisdiction, industry, or any other factors that may impact the regulatory landscape. What are the specific regulations that apply to the risk assessment? How will compliance be ensured?
Assess the severity of the risks
In this task, you will assess the severity of the identified risks. By determining the severity, we can prioritize the necessary precautions and allocate resources accordingly. Consider the potential impact on the stakeholders and the likelihood of harm. How severe are the identified risks? What are the potential consequences? Rate the severity of each risk to inform the risk management plan.

Determine the likelihood of the risks
In this task, you will determine the likelihood of the identified risks. By understanding the probability of occurrence, we can assess the overall risk and prioritize the necessary precautions. Consider historical data, expert opinions, or any other relevant information to estimate the likelihood of each risk. How likely are the identified risks to occur? Rate the likelihood of each risk to inform the risk management plan.

Consider risk mitigation measures
In this task, you will consider risk mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate the identified risks. By implementing appropriate controls and precautions, we can minimize the potential consequences of the risks. Think creatively and strategically to devise effective risk mitigation measures. What actions can be taken to reduce the likelihood or severity of the risks? How can we prevent harm or minimize its impact?
Develop a risk management plan
In this task, you will develop a comprehensive risk management plan based on the findings of the risk assessment. The plan will outline the specific actions, responsibilities, and timelines for implementing the necessary precautions. Think about the overall strategy and approach to risk management. How will the risks be monitored and controlled? How will communication and coordination be facilitated? Ensure the risk management plan is clear, actionable, and aligns with the goals of the organization.

Communicate the risk assessment findings to stakeholders
In this task, you will communicate the findings of the risk assessment to relevant stakeholders. Effective communication is crucial to ensure everyone understands the risks and the necessary precautions. Consider the different stakeholders and their specific information needs. How will the findings be shared? What channels or tools will be used for communication? How will feedback be collected and addressed?
Monitor and review the risk assessment regularly
In this task, you will establish a regular monitoring and review process for the risk assessment. By regularly evaluating the effectiveness of the precautions and identifying any new risks or changes in the environment, we can adapt our risk management approach as needed. How often will the risk assessment be reviewed? Which metrics or indicators will be monitored? What are the triggers for a comprehensive review? Establish a robust monitoring and review system to ensure ongoing risk management effectiveness.

In this task, you will update the risk assessment based on feedback and insights received from stakeholders or identified during the monitoring process. Feedback can provide valuable perspectives and highlight areas for improvement. How will feedback be collected and reviewed? What actions will be taken based on the feedback? Ensure the risk assessment remains up-to-date and reflective of the current state of the process.
Train staff on the risks and precautions
In this task, you will conduct training sessions to educate staff members on the identified risks and the precautions they should take. Training is crucial to ensure that everyone is aware of the risks and knows how to prevent harm. How will the training be conducted? What specific topics or areas should be covered? Who will lead the training sessions?
