Risk Register

RISK METHODOLOGY
Methodology. Risk assessments are used to calculate if the control measures in place
are suitable and sufficient for the task. To do so effectively a quantative assessment is
used scoring both Severity of outcome of an accident and the likely hood of occurrence.
Determination of Risk
Quantative risk assessments give each hazard a rating.
The risk from the hazard should be determined by assessing:
The potential severity of harm (S); and

The likelihood that harm will occur (L).
The assessment will be subjective and it is important that the process enables a
judgment to be made as to the comparative risk level of different hazards.
Severity of Harm (S)
When establishing potential severity of harm, information about the relevant work
activity should be considered, together with:
Part(s) of the body likely to be affected;

Numbers of persons affected;
Nature of harm, ranging from a non harmful to a catastrophic incident resulting in
major fatalities,
SEVERITY: How severe the consequences could be - Worst case scenario;
1. Not Harmful Self explanatory
2. Slightly Harmful - Superficial injuries; minor cuts and bruises; eye irritation from
dust; Nuisance and irritation e.g.: headaches; ill-health leading to temporary
discomfort
3.
Harmful - Lacerations; burns; concussion; serious sprains; minor fractures;

Deafness; dermatitis; asthma; work-related upper limb disorders; ill-health leading
to permanent minor disability.
4.
Extremely Harmful - Amputations ; major fracture; poisoning; multiple injury to

an individual; fatal injuries; Occupational cancer; other severely life shortening
diseases; acute fatal disease.
5. Multiple Casualties - Multiple injury; fatal injuries; Occupational cancer; other

severely life shortening diseases, acute fatal disease likely to affect a group of
workers simultaneously.
6. Catastrophic - A Major industrial incident affecting the general public over a large
area. Multiple fatalities and injuries.

Likelihood of Harm (L)

When establishing the likelihood of harm, the number of personnel exposed and the
frequency and duration of exposure to the hazard need to be considered, factors to
consider are:
Failure of services, e.g.: Electricity and water;

Failure of plant and machinery components and safety devices;
Exposure to the elements;
Protection afforded by personal protective equipment and usage rate of personal
protective equipment;
Unsafe acts (unintended errors or intentional violations of procedures) by persons.
LIKELIHOOD: How likely is it to happen?

6. Certain-Event will happen.
5. Almost Certain-Event expected to occur in most circumstances.
4. Likely- Event will probably occur in most circumstances.
3. Possible -Event might possibly occur at some time.
2. Unlikely- Event could occur at some time.
1. Rare- Event may occur only in exceptional circumstances.
Risk Rating (R)
After having selected L and S, the Risk Rating (R) should be determined. The table below
should be addressed. From all of this, a decision should be made whether the Risk is
Low, Medium, or High.

orientation/contact before stressing /distressing operations.
Controls for manual handling /falling objects in-line with those detailed
within Installing of PT Bars & Components Section.
Measures outlined in section for lifting controls for PT bars to be followed.
Bars must be manual handled to point, where 1 st of nylon straps can be
Page 36
attached. Plate and nut to be placed directly behind to outer side of 1 st

strap to prevent potential slipping.
Under direction of banksman, crane must fractionally raise bar and slew
slowly until point where second strap can be firmly attached.
