Hazard identification and risk assessment

Home / Services / Hazard identification and risk assessment

Comprehensive solutions to ensure safe working environments.

Hazard identification is the process of identifying hazards in the workplace. A hazard is anything that has the potential to cause harm to people, property, or the environment. Risk assessment is the next step in the process, where the identified hazards are evaluated to determine the likelihood and severity of harm. The risk assessment enables us to prioritize hazards and develop controls to manage them effectively.

This isn't just about preserving health; it's also about legal adherence. Australian regulations necessitate thorough hazard and risk evaluations for businesses, with compliance averting severe penalties. When you engage in comprehensive assessments, you not only bolster safety but actively reduce risks and remain legally compliant.

At Applied Risk Control, offer comprehensive an exhaustive hazard identification and risk assessment service, ensuring workplaces remain protected.

 

What’s involved in a hazard identification and risk assessment?

 
 
  • Working collaboratively, we dive deep into your operations, identifying the spectrum of hazards present and any potential operational risks that might exist. This joint effort ensures that our approach is aligned with your organizational context, maximizing the effectiveness of subsequent steps.

  • Our multifaceted approach to hazard detection is comprehensive. We begin with a detailed analysis of existing documentation that could highlight potential concerns. This is followed by on-site evaluations, wherein we physically inspect the environment to identify tangible threats. To complement these methods, we conduct interviews with key stakeholders, gathering insights directly from those who interact with the space regularly, ensuring no stone is left unturned.

  • Once hazards are identified, our next step is to gauge the scale of the threat they pose. To do this, we utilize risk matrices – tools that allow us to assess the likelihood of a hazard leading to an incident and the potential severity of that incident. By understanding both the probability and potential impact, we can prioritize hazards, focusing on those that pose the greatest risk.

  • Our approach to developing countermeasures for identified hazards is both strategic and pragmatic. We design solutions with a keen eye on their effectiveness in reducing or eliminating the risk. However, we also understand the practical constraints businesses face, which is why we always consider the efficiency of implementation and cost implications. The result is a balanced set of recommendations that protect your workforce and respect your bottom line.
