Identify hazards
In this task, you will identify any potential hazards that could pose a safety risk. This is an important step in ensuring the safety of employees and preventing accidents. Consider the physical environment, equipment, and processes in your assessment. What are the potential risks and challenges? How can they be mitigated? Use the form field below to document any identified hazards.
Review past incident reports
Reviewing past incident reports provides valuable insight into previous safety issues and helps identify patterns or recurring hazards. By understanding what has gone wrong in the past, you can better address and prevent similar incidents in the future. Use the form field below to document any findings or observations from the past incident reports.
Perform a walk-through to identify safety hazards
Performing a walk-through of the premises or work area allows you to visually identify any potential safety hazards. Observe the layout, equipment, and working conditions. Look for any signs of poor ergonomics, unsecured objects, or potential trip hazards. Use the form fields below to document any identified safety hazards and their locations.

Evaluate severity of potential accidents
Evaluating the severity of potential accidents helps determine the level of risk associated with each hazard. Consider the potential injuries, property damage, and impact on operations. Use the form field below to rate the severity level of each potential accident on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the least severe and 5 being the most severe.

Determine frequency of potential accidents
Determining the frequency at which potential accidents might occur helps prioritize risks and allocate resources accordingly. Consider the likelihood or probability of each hazard occurring. Use the form field below to rate the frequency level of each potential accident on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the least frequent and 5 being the most frequent.

Compute risk ratings
Computing risk ratings involves multiplying the severity and frequency ratings to determine the overall risk level for each hazard. This helps prioritize the risks and allocate resources accordingly. Use the form field below to calculate the risk rating for each hazard.
Prioritize the risks calculated
Based on the risk ratings calculated in the previous task, prioritize the risks by assigning them a priority level. This helps focus efforts on addressing the most critical hazards first. Use the form field below to assign a priority level to each risk, ranging from low to high.

Medium
3
High
Develop a risk management plan
Developing a risk management plan involves identifying specific actions and strategies to control and mitigate the identified risks. Consider implementing physical controls, process changes, or training programs. Use the form field below to outline the risk management plan.
Assign responsible parties for plan implementation
Assigning responsible parties for plan implementation ensures accountability and effective execution of the risk management plan. Identify individuals or teams who will be responsible for implementing the specific actions and strategies outlined in the plan. Use the form field below to assign responsible parties.
Plan for regular safety meetings
Regular safety meetings provide a platform for discussing safety issues, reviewing the risk management plan, and gathering feedback from employees. These meetings help maintain a culture of safety and ensure ongoing improvement. Use the form field below to schedule regular safety meetings and document any relevant details.
Design safety measures and controls
Designing safety measures and controls involves developing specific strategies, procedures, or physical changes to mitigate the identified risks. Consider implementing safety guards, process modifications, or emergency response plans. Use the form field below to document the designed safety measures and controls.
Create training materials for safety measures and controls
Creating training materials for safety measures and controls ensures that employees are properly educated and informed about the implemented safety protocols. Consider developing presentations, videos, or written guidelines to facilitate training. Use the form field below to describe the training materials created.
Implement the risk management plan
Implementing the risk management plan involves executing the specific actions and strategies outlined in the plan. Ensure that responsible parties are aware of their roles and tasks. Use the form field below to document the progress or status of plan implementation.
Monitor and measure the effectiveness of the implemented controls
Monitoring and measuring the effectiveness of the implemented controls helps assess the success of the risk management plan and identify any gaps or areas for improvement. Use the form field below to record observations, feedback, or measurements related to the effectiveness of the controls.
Approval: Management review of implemented controls effectiveness

Conduct regular safety audits
Conducting regular safety audits ensures ongoing compliance with safety protocols and identifies any emerging hazards or non-conformities. Use the form field below to document the findings and observations from the safety audits.
Update safety systems based on audit results
Updating safety systems based on audit results involves implementing necessary corrective actions or improvements to address the identified issues or deficiencies. Use the form field below to outline the updates or modifications made to the safety systems.
Approval: Safety officer's final review
Will be submitted for approval:
Update safety systems based on audit results
