Define Hazard.

• 'Anything with the potential to cause harm'

• 'Anything with the potential to cause harm'

• 'Anything with no potential to cause harm'

• 'The likelihood of the hazard to cause harm'

Define Risk.

• 'Anything with the potential to cause harm'

• 'The likelihood of the hazard to cause harm'

• 'The likelihood of risk to cause harm'

• 'Anything with no potential to cause harm'

Define Control.

• 'Taking action to ELIMINATE and MAXIMIZE health and safety risks as far as reasonably practicable'

• 'Taking action not to ELIMINATE and MINIMISE health and safety risks as far as reasonably practicable'

• 'Taking action to ELIMINATE and MINIMISE health and safety risks as far as reasonably practicable

• 'No Action at all'

Complete the Risk Assessment process.

• 1) Identify the Hazard, 3) Evaluate the Risk (5x5 risk assessment matrix), 5) Review the process

• 1) Identify the Hazard, 3) Evaluate the Risk (5x5 risk assessment matrix), 5) Review the findings

• 1) Identify the Risk, 3) Evaluate the Risk (using 3x5 risk assessment matrix), 5) Review the process

• 1) Identify the behaviour, 3) Evaluate the Risk (5x5 risk assessment matrix), 5) Review the process

Accident/Near miss reports are one of the six things to observe during hazard identification.

• TRUE

• FALSE

What are the six (6) types of hazards?

• Physical, Electrical, Biological, Psycho-social, Ergonomic and Cultural

• Physical, Exposure, Biological, Psycho-social, Ergonomic and Cultural

• Physical, Electrical, Biological, Pandemic, Ergonomic and Cultural

• Physical, Electrical, Biological, Psycho-social, Ergonomic and Chemical

Non employees are not a person who might be harmed in a workplace

• TRUE

• FALSE

What are the formula for RISK LEVEL?

• Risk level = Likelihood x Accident

• Risk level = Unlikeliness x Accident

• Risk level = Likelihood x Consequences

• Risk level = Likelihood x Fatalities

What is the action when risk indicator is high (Red)?

• Requires immediate action to control the hazard

• Further reduction may not be necessary

• Requires a proper risk control plan to control the hazard and to apply temporary measures if required

• No action required
