Use a Risk Assessment Matrix to conduct an initial assessment to determine activities that constitute highest risk to employees, subcontractors or visitors.
How do we do it ?
4. From the initial assessment, conduct a detailed risk assessment on the highest risk activity by breaking the activity into the basic job sequence. 5. From basic job sequence, determine the inherent hazards (with current controls in place) and the controls required to mitigate them.
How do we do it ?
6. Plan and allocate resources to ensure controls are effective. Place priority on activity with highest risk to safety. 7. Person responsible to be nominated to administer controls effectively in the agreed time frame.
