Understanding Risk Management

• Check how effective existing control measures

are.

• Decide whether you can remove the

hazard completely or what control
measures are required to prevent harm?

• Consider some practical measures such as:

• Try a less risk way of working;

• Prevent access to the hazard;

• Design out exposure to the hazard;

• Organise the task to reduce exposure to the

hazard;
• Substitute an article or substance for a less

hazardous one;
