Description

 

How to approach risk assessments for machinery safety.

 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

·       The very first thing we must do is to is get a feel for the machine

·       How you determine where a score sits in relation to the level of risk, is your risk profile.

 

 

BEST MOMENTS

 

·       If the process of carrying out a risk assessment creates a situation of fear of challenge, or confusion, then it can end up doing more harm than good.

·       A subjective risk assessment might identify unrealistic scenarios that are not foreseeable or practicable

·       The risk assessment will determine what that initial level of risk is, and the evaluation will determine whether or not to proceed to the next level

·       By the very nature of having a group of people assess a hazard, it removes the subjectivity from the issue.
