                                                     Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
                                                                      Work Step
The work step is an individual task performed in combination of tasks that collectively make up the job of work. For instance filling the mower with
fuel, checking the oil, setting the cutting height, attaching the grass catcher, starting the mower are some of the work steps in the Job of mowing the
lawn.
The SWMS lists the tasks sequentially that are required to carry out the job for which the SWMS is written.
                                                                Hazard Identification
  The section OHS Hazards lists those ‘things’ in relation to a specific work step that have the potential to cause illness injury or damage to people,
  plant, equipment or property. The hazard could be the system of work or a piece of plant, equipment, substance or other energy form which has or
 may have the potential to cause harm – the hazard is ‘what’ could hurt you. The following table lists the common forms of energy and examples of
                                                                      their source.
    Potential energy – Ladders, lifts, hoists, scaffolding i.e.        Thermal energy – high and low temperatures
       falls by people or materials                                     Pressure energy – Pressurisation and Pneumatic Equipment and systems, gas
    Kinetic Energy – plant, equipment in motion i.e. struck-              cylinders
       by                                                               Acoustic energy – ambient noise or noise generated by work.
    Mechanical energy – machine guarding, unexpected                   Radiation energy – solar oar radiation from welding, x-rays
       start – up or shut down of machinery                             Bio mechanical energy – manual handling, lift, push, pull, carry or restrain
    Electrical energy – Cables and wiring, Control devices,            Microbiological energy – infectious materials, blood born pathogens, needle
       Conductors, Switchboards and Switchgear, Electrical                 stick injuries
       appliances, Welding and electricity.
    Chemical energy – flammables, combustibles,
       corrosives and toxic
Risk Assessment
Risk is a measure of “How” the hazard could hurt you or cause damage. Most hazards can have more than one way of causing harm or damage. There
may be none, all or some of these present and in varying degrees. It is important therefore to recognize the amount of risk the hazard represents to us
in any given situation.
Depending on the combination of situation, exposure and severity of outcome measured against the likelihood of an unwanted event occurring we can
measure and rank the amount of risk. This is done by using the following risk matrix and recording the result in the “Risk Score Column”.
