About this task
A risk analysis can be associated with job steps in a job and have their inherent and residual risk assessed.
Procedure
Navigate to Workspaces > Health and Safety Workspace.
Select the risk management icon (
Risk assessment icon\).
Select the Risk assessment list and then All.
Open the risk assessment to perform the risk analysis for.
In the Risk analyses tab, add risk analysis records.
| Option | Steps |
|---|---|
| Import from predefined job | To create risk analyses by importing hazards and controls from a predefined job, see Create a risk analysis from a job. |
| Create in Risk analyses tab | To add a risk analysis manually,1. In the Risk analyses list, select New. 2. On the form, fill in the fields and select Save. |
In the Hazard assessments tab of a risk analysis, review hazards and their controls to assess their risk levels.
For more information on how the risk level for a hazard is evaluated, see Assess safety hazards and risk levels for a risk analysis.
The inherent and residual risk levels (severity and likelihood) on the risk analysis form are calculated from the corresponding risk levels in its associated hazard assessments.
When hazard assessments of all identified hazards in a risk analysis are complete, set the State of the risk analysis as Complete.
Repeat steps 6 and 7 for each risk analysis record in the risk assessment.
When all risk analyses in the risk assessment are complete, visualize the risk level (severity and likelihood) in the Risk matrix section.
- Select Inherent risk view to view the risk level of associated hazards before controls.
- Select Residual risk view to view the risk level of associated hazards after controls have been put in place. The number in the risk matrix shows the count of this risk level from all listed risk analyses in the assessment.
Result
- All risk analysis records for this assessment appear in the Risk analyses list under the Risk analyses tab.
- The overall level of inherent and residual risk is determined based on the highest identified risk in the Risk analyses list.
- The computed risk levels from all risk analyses appear in the Inherent risk and Residual risk fields in the risk assessment's form header.
