Important Aspects Of

Risk Based Decision-making

• Common Language & Terminology

• Keep it Practical

• Follow suitable Hierarchy of Controls

• Undertake the Risk Journey

Terminology• Absence of a common language for Risk

Management can lead to:

• Misunderstandings• Mishaps• Accidents• Injuries

Hazards

• Essentially a hazard can be related to the presence of energy

Hazard & RiskWe believe that a hazard is ...

(anything that can cause harm)

High Risk

The level of risk is determined by how good the controls areas well as the magnitude of the energy.

Low Risk Risk ?

...not the same as risk(likelihood harm will occur and its severity)

A Mini-Risk Assessment technique is a systematic approach anybody can follow if they think their health and safety is at risk.One such method is

The four step technique

(Stop…Look…Assess…Manage)
