Risk assessment

• What to do?

• Which requirements (laws, regulations, procedures) and expectations regulate the work you are to carry out?

• Desired outcome?

Before starting your work:

- Should you carry out a risk assessment yourself of the work you will be doing. Ask yourself:

• What could go wrong?

• What could the consequences be?

• What can I do to prevent this?

 

Once the dangers have been identified, you must take the necessary measures.

 

During the work:

It is important to stop and look around, to ensure that the risk picture has not changed. If it has changed, you must do a new risk assessment. This is called ongoing risk assessment.
