4. Introduction
 April 14th 1912, the Titanic hit an
iceberg on her maiden voyage and 2
hours and 40 minutes later she sank.
 Despite warnings of potential ice flow
the captain was instructed to increase
speed.
 Too few lifeboats available; only enough
to accommodate 1200 passengers on a
ship transporting 2200.
 The lookout had not been provided with
binoculars.
Titanic disaster led to an investigation that
transformed the ship building industry and almost
created the risk analysis industry overnight.

6. What is a Risk Assessment?
 A hazard is the potential of a substance, activity or process to
cause harm. Hazards take many forms including, for example,
chemicals, electricity and the use of a ladder.
 A risk is the likelihood of a substance, activity or process to
cause harm.

7. What is a Risk Assessment?
HAZARD RISK (likelihood of …)
No safety helmet Head injuries
No goggles Foreign matter in eyes
No gloves Hand injuries
No ear defenders Damage to hearing
Improper footwear Injuries to feet
No respiratory mask Damage to lungs etc.
240V electrical supply Electrocution
Poor electrical connections Electrocution
Site debris laying around Tripping

8. What is a Risk Assessment?
 Risk assessment is an essential part of the planning stage of any
health and safety management system.
 Risk assessment methods are used to decide on priorities and to set
objectives for eliminating hazards and reducing risks.
 There are two basic forms of risk assessment.
o A quantitative risk assessment attempts to measure the risk
by relating the probability of the risk occurring to the
possible severity of the outcome and then giving the risk a
numerical value.
o The more common form of risk assessment is the
qualitative assessment which is based purely on personal
judgement and is normally defined as high, medium or low.

14. Why carry out a Risk Assessment?
 To determine the measures required by the organization to
comply with relevant health and safety legislation.
 Proactive strategy to reduce the level of occupational injuries and
ill-health, and fatalities.
 Reduce direct and indirect costs to an organization.
 Examples of direct costs:
 Insured: claims on employers’ and public liability insurance, damage to
buildings, equipment or vehicles)
 Uninsured: fines, sick pay, damage to product, equipment or process.
 Examples of indirect costs:
 Insured: business loss, product or process liability.
 Uninsured: loss of goodwill, extra overtime payments, accident
investigation time, production delays.

16. How to conduct a Risk Assessment
Steps in the Risk Assessment Process
1 Describe the activity/task, equipment, process or facility for which the risk
assessment s being carried out.
2 Identify all potential hazards associated with the activity/task, equipment,
process or facility.
3 Identify the people who may be at risk.
4 Assess the risk based on the severity of the hazards, an likelihood of
occurrence/exposure.
5 Describe the measures necessary to control the identified risks based on the
HoC in ANSI Z590.3
6 Re-assess the risk based on the planned/recommended controls to determine
the residual risk.
7 Document the details of the person(s) carrying out the risk assessment and
time.
8 Document and record the risk assessment exercise.
