Occupational Health and Safety Risk Assessment
The conduct of the OHSRA satisfies both the relevant legal requirement, as well as the essential need to identify and control occupational hazards. It is also a valuable tool for internal auditing and control, allowing employees to participate actively in the qualitative and quantitative assessment of the risks, prevention measures, and promotion of occupational safety and health.
The Occupational Health and Safety Risk Assessment study has the following goals:
- Record all acts and conditions that includes risk.
- Identify all the potential workplace hazards.
- Record workplace and the actual activity during which a specific risk is detected.
- Identify personnel or any third party exposed to the risks.
- Record the existing safety measures to reduce the risk.
- Assess the severity of each hazardous condition or action.
- Assess the frequency of exposure of the employees to each hazardous condition or action.
- Assess the emergence probability of each hazardous condition or action.
- Record the necessary control measures to eliminate or minimize the hazardous condition or action.
- Calculate the risk after the application of the proposed corrective actions.
