3.9.2 Hazard / Risk Assessment
The level of risk for each identified hazard will be assessed by reference to the risk calculator shown below or as defined by
legislation applicable to the jurisdiction in which the construction work is undertaken. Identified risks will be reduced to So
Far as Reasonably Practicable (SFARP) by the application of control measures. SFARP should not be above 2 Medium.
A Risk Rating will be determined by calculating the Likelihood or Frequency against the Consequence Severity on the Risk
Calculator and taking into account available information on the hazard including any records of incidents, illness and disease.
This Risk Rating will be categorized into 4 Risk Levels;


            Risk Rating             Risk                 Actions

                                    Risk                 additional control measures have been approved by the operations support teams.

                                    Unacceptable         Controls may be inadequate, task not to commence or continue until risk is reduced by changes to methodology and or

                                    Tolerable            Existing controls are monitored for effectiveness and where additional controls to reduce risk are identified controls are to

                                    Risk


However, in the event of a task having a risk where no matter what controls are put in place it still remains a 1 High risk,
practical risk controls priorities such as, for example, Work Permits, increased inspections or supervision will be
implemented.
