Risk assessment can be conducted following the identification of major accident hazards within the facility. The risk assessment can be revisited in the event of a major change such as new machines, substances, and processes that could potentially lead to a major accident.Continue Reading

Risk Assessment includes: Identification of hazards Assessing the hazards Control measures Risk Matrix Risk Analysis/Evaluation Defining Risk LevelsContinue Reading

Some of the benefits of risk assessment include maximising safety at minimum cost, helping to aid in decision making, calculating risk exposure and insurance requirements, as well as fulfilling certain legal requirements.Continue Reading

There are 3 main types of risk assessment tools, namely qualitative i.e. using matrices and hazard identification techniques featuring guidewords, semi-quantitative i.e. where word descriptors are associated with numerical ratings and Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) which is based on detailed consequence modelling and frequency analysis.Continue Reading
