Identify hazards involved in the process
In this task, you will identify all the potential hazards that are involved in the process. By identifying these hazards, you can effectively evaluate and implement necessary risk control measures to ensure the safety of the process. What are the potential hazards that you have identified?
Categorize each identified hazard
Now that you have identified the hazards, it's time to categorize them. By categorizing the hazards, you can better understand their nature and potential risks. Which category does each hazard belong to?
1
Chemical
2
Physical
3
Mechanical
4
Biological
5
Environmental
Assess the severity of each hazard
To effectively manage the risks associated with the hazards, it is important to assess the severity of each hazard. The severity assessment will help in prioritizing the risks and implementing appropriate risk control measures. On a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 is low severity and 5 is high severity, assess the severity of each identified hazard.

Identify the probability of each hazard occurring
In this task, you will determine the probability of each identified hazard occurring. This assessment will help in understanding the likelihood of each hazard and enable effective risk management. On a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 is low probability and 5 is high probability, assess the probability of each identified hazard occurring.

Calculate risk by combining severity and probability
Now that you have assessed the severity and probability of each hazard, it's time to calculate the risk associated with them. By combining the severity and probability assessments, you can prioritize the hazards and focus on implementing appropriate risk control measures. Calculate the risk for each hazard by multiplying the severity and probability assessments.
Analyze the effectiveness of existing risk control measures
In this task, you will analyze the effectiveness of the existing risk control measures that are already in place. By evaluating their effectiveness, you can identify any gaps or areas that require improvement. Are the existing risk control measures effective in mitigating the identified hazards?

Ascertain potential impact of the hazards on the process
It's important to understand the potential impact that the identified hazards can have on the process. By ascertaining this impact, you can develop appropriate risk control measures to minimize the consequences. What is the potential impact of the identified hazards on the process? Provide a brief description.
Evaluate if additional risk control measures are required
Based on the analysis of the existing risk control measures and the potential impact of the hazards, it's time to evaluate if additional risk control measures are required. By assessing the need for additional measures, you can enhance the overall risk management process. Do you think additional risk control measures are required?
1
Yes
2
No
Develop and recommend additional risk control measures
If additional risk control measures are required, it's important to develop and recommend them. By doing so, you can effectively manage the identified hazards and minimize the associated risks. What additional risk control measures would you recommend? Please provide a detailed description.

No
Monitor the effectiveness of the implemented measures
Once the additional risk control measures have been implemented, it's important to monitor their effectiveness. By monitoring the measures, you can ensure that they are providing the desired level of risk reduction. Are the implemented risk control measures effective in mitigating the identified hazards?
1
Yes
2
No
Conduct a follow-up hazard and risk analysis
