Assessment of Hazards
No.	Description of Hazard (What has potential to cause injury or damage to property/environment?)	Current Controls (What is in place today that controls the risk? List any control measures already implemented)	Control Type (Elimination, Substitution, Isolation, Engineering, Administration, PPE)	Risk rating (With current controls in place) (C = consequence, L= likelihood, R = risk)
C	L	R

Risk Control
Hazard No.	Additional Control Description (What should be done in the future to control the risk? What can be done to eliminate or further reduce the risk?)	Control Type (Elimination, Substitution, Isolation, Engineering, Administration, PPE)	Person Responsible	Target Date	Date Completed

Risk Matrix

Step 1: What are the consequences of this incident occurring? Consider what could reasonably have happened as well as what actually happened. Look at the descriptions and choose the most suitable Consequence.

Step 2: What is the likelihood of the consequence identified in step 1 happening? Consider this without new or interim controls in place. Look at the descriptions and choose the most suitable Likelihood.

Step 3:

Take step 1 rating and select the correct column

Take Step 2 rating and select the correct line

Circle the risk score where the two ratings cross on the matrix below.

H = High, M = Medium, L = Low

Likelihood
May occur within every 10 year period or more	Could occur within a 5-10 year period	Could occur within a 1 to 5 year period	Could occur within a 3 to 12 month period	Likely to occur within a 3 month period or during the performance of an actual task
Rare	Unlikely	Possible	Likely	Almost certain
Consequence	Fatality, prosecution or legislative non-compliance impacts a substantial part or whole of University with significant works > $100k	Catastrophic	Medium	High	High	High	High
months), notifiable event, finding, notice, suspension of work impacts a substantial part or whole of University with major works between $50-$100k	Major	Medium	Medium	High	High	High
Lost time injury (<6 months), finding ISOS combined extreme/high risk, impacts a moderate to substantial part of University with moderate works between $10-50K	Moderate	Low	Medium	Medium	High	High
Incident including medical treatment, near miss, safety finding resolved in 3 days, impacts a minor part of University with minor works <$10k	Minor	Low	Low	Medium	Medium	Medium
Incident including first aid, workplace hazard contained immediately and no ongoing safety risk impact. No known similar risk with University	Insignifcant	Low	Low	Low	Low	Medium

Risk Control

Risk control is a method of managing the risk with the primary emphasis on controlling the hazards at source. For a risk that is assessed as “high”, steps should be taken immediately to minimize risk of injury. The method of ensuring that risks are controlled effectively is by using the “hierarchy of controls”. The Hierarchy of Controls are:

Order No.	Control Type	Example
Firstly	Eliminate	Removing the hazard, eg taking a hazardous piece of equipment out of service.
Secondly	Substitute	Replacing a hazardous substance or process with a less hazardous one, eg substituting a hazardous substance with a non-hazardous substance.
Thirdly	Isolation	Isolating the hazard from the person at risk, eg using a guard or barrier.
Fourthly	Engineering	Redesign a process or piece of equipment to make it less hazardous.
Fifthly	Administrative	Adopting safe work practices or providing appropriate training, instruction or information.
Sixthly	Personal Protective Equipment	The use of personal protective equipment could include using gloves, glasses, earmuffs, aprons, safety footwear, dust masks.
