Workplace Hazard and Risk Assessment simply means looking at the work task and considering what is the safest way to complete it. It is a way of becoming aware of the hazards involved in doing the job and taking action to prevent an injury. A well-developed Hazard and Risk Assessment process is suitable for different tasks and industries, and does not require enormous amounts of time or use endless pieces of paper

PART A - You are to look at your current workplace (or your RTO if undertaking this assessment outside of a workplace), and consider an appropriate method to identify, report and record associated hazards and risks. This requires you to: consult with workers or others to gain an appropriate level of understanding of what their job roles are (tohelp you identify possible hazards) listen to any concerns or issues raised by others consider the working environment record the outcomes of your discussions and observations, and develop an appropriate Hazard and Riskassessment checklist

PART B - Using the hazard and risk assessment checklist developed in Part A, you are to undertake a comprehensive risk assessment of your workplace (or RTO): Document the activity: Assemble those involved in the activity and then, using the hazard and riskchecklist, document the tasks that make up the activity, step by step. Be sure to consider any Safe MethodWork Statements available, along with internal WHS Policy and Procedures Identify the hazards: Next to each task, identify what part of the task may cause injury to those doing thework or to anyone else nearby.

PART C - Next, you are to consider the hazards and risks identified, and develop, select and implement appropriate WHS risk controls (within a risk register developed in Assessment 1, or one sourced and suitable for this task). Document the control measures: For each identified hazard, list the measures that need to be put inplace to eliminate or minimise any likely risk of injury to those involved. You are to also indicate the costassociated with each control Identify who is responsible: Document the name of the person responsible for implementing the controlmeasure. Implement the control measures. Update the SWMS and WHS Management System to reflect the changes
