Effective application of Risk Assessment involves four steps: Identify Assess, Control and Recover. These steps cover identification of the major
hazards to people, assets and reputation, assessment of the related risks, as well as implementing measures to control these risks and to recover in case
these measures fail. Use of the Risk Assessment Matrix will enhance appreciation of Health and Safety risk and achieving As Low as Reasonably
Practicable at all levels
