Defining Risk and Control
Overview: This assignment is to introduce risk and related controls in EHS Environmental Heath
and Safety. The outcome is that you accurately identify hazards, risks, and controls.
HW score includes both content and following directions.

3.
You are to provide and identify a picture of a situation that indicates a hazard (at home,
work, hobby, industry, play..etc)
Name the Hazard and other required information

Show Your Scores Risk Score Calculations
& Results & Recommendations
Use the Scoring table (slide 2) and hierarchy
of controls
1) Calculate a Risk Score-(Combine all
Safety, property and environmental
hazards to achieve) Severity x (How
often the risk will create exposure)
Frequency (slide 3-4) Scoring is
subjective.
2) Provide 2-3 Recommendations based on
the Hierarchy of Controls. Use Methods of
Substitution, Elimination etc.. and in that
order to correct the hazard ( slide 5).
corrections require considering all
possibilities
3)Compliance- Provide the number
indicating How often the hazard is in
compliance (1-5) (slide 4)

Severity x (Frequency +
Compliance)= Risk
Controls = Effectiveness
to reduce risk
Rank Score: 1 – 5 = Lowest to highest risk rank
Severity: Looks at the process as if there were
no controls used and what the worst probable
outcome.
Frequency: How often is this task performedHigher score for higher frequency
---------------------------------------------------------------Controls: What controls are in place?: We don’t
have any controls, administrative controls only,
engineering controls only, admin and
engineering controls, or failsafe
Compliance –Effectiveness that the hazards is
controlled: Almost always compliant (5), noncompliant once per year (4), (3)non-compliant
once per month, (2) non-compliant weekly, out
of control (1)
