Information
This checklist will be used as an aid to risk assessment and to help comply with the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare)
Regulations; the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations and the Health and Safety at Work etc Act. Answers that
require action will require further investigation by the person(s) responsible for health and safety. Thank you for your co-operation.
The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations cover a wide range of basic health, safety and welfare issues and apply to
most workplaces (with the exception of those workplaces involving construction work on construction sites, those in or on a ship, or
those below ground at a mine).
Employers have a general duty under section 2 of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 to ensure, so far as is reasonably
practicable, the health, safety and welfare of their employees at work. The Regulations expand on these duties and are intended to
protect the health and safety of everyone in the workplace, and ensure that adequate facilities are provided for people at work.
Definitions
‘Workplace’ - these Regulations apply to a very wide range of workplaces, not only factories, shops and offices but also, for example,
schools, hospitals, hotels and places of entertainment. The term workplace also includes the common parts of shared buildings,
private roads and paths on industrial estates and business parks, and temporary worksites (except workplaces involving construction
work on construction sites).
‘Work’ - means work as an employee or self-employed person.
‘Premises’ - means any place including an outdoor place.
A workplace is any physical location in which work related activities are performed under the control of the organization.
A hazard is something with the potential to cause harm.
Hazard identification is a process of recognizing that a hazard exists and defining its characteristics.
A risk is a combination of the likelihood of an occurrence of a hazardous event or exposure and the severity of injury or ill health that
can be caused by the event or exposure.
An acceptable risk is a risk that has been reduced to a level that can be tolerated by the organization having regard to its legal
obligations and its own occupational health and safety policy.
Guidance on Overall Risk Ratings
High Risk = High Hazard with High Likelihood and Consequence
Medium Risk = Hazard potential with a Likelihood and Consequence
Low Risk = Low Hazard with Low Likelihood and Consequence
Guidance on Recommended Actions/ Controls Actions (for further information refer to “hierarchy of control”)
A. Recommended Action = this control action is essential and needs to be done as soon as possible.
B. Recommended Action = this control action is a priority and needs to be done as soon as practical.
C. Recommended Actions = this control action is a priority and needs to be planned in.
D. = Recommended Action = this control action is required and needs to be planned in long term.
E. = Recommended Actions = this control is optional and can be done when suitable to the company.
