(3) What controls exist to reduce

risk

(4) What action can be taken to

further reduce risk?

Eye Strain

One of the production crew

due to how long they spend
on their computers.

Breaks from the computer

in order to reduce chance
of eye strain.

There is nothing else to

further reduce the risk of
eye strain.

1. List hazards something with the potential to cause harm here:

Seek to quantify the level of risk the likelihood of harm arising based on the number of persons affected, how often they are exposed to the hazard and the
severity of any consequence.
2. List groups of people who are especially at risk from the significant hazards which you have identified.
3. List existing controls here or note where the information may be found.
4. List the risks which are not adequately controlled and the action you will take. Have regard for the level of risk, the cost of any action and the benefit you expect to
gain.

RISK RATING
a SEVERITY

b LIKELIHOOD

c FINAL SCORE RATING: what needs to be done

Dying or being permanently disabled

Will almost certainly happen

Serious injury/long term illness

Highly likely to happen

Temporary disability/3 days off sick

Not so likely

Will need medical attention

Even less likely

Minor injury e.g. Bruise, graze

Unlikely to happen at all

16-25 Stop! Do not start activity again until risk is

controlled
10-15 High risk level, High priority. Take action
straight away to control the risk
6-9 Medium risk level. Tighten up controls and
make a plan to do something about risk
3-5 Fairly low risk level. Low priority but keep
possible action in mind
1-2 Low or trivial risk. No further action required.

SO: a x b = c
