SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT DETAILS OF THE ASSESSMENT TEAM NAME POSITION ORGANISATION SIGNATURE DATE Helen Masters Education & Interpretation Ranger OHS Rep Education Phillip Island Nature Park Kim Dunstan Education Co-ordinator Phillip Island Nature Parks Peter Sterck OHS Coordinator Phillip Island Nature Parks Steps for using this document 1. Discuss with relevant employees, contractors & OHS reps what work will be high risk, the tasks & associated hazards, risks & controls 2. In the What are the tasks or activities involved? column list the work tasks in sequence to how they will be carried out. 3. In the What are the hazards & risks? column List the hazards & risks for each task. 4. Determine the initial level of risk by the use of the Risk matrix. E.g the likelihood & consequence levels. 5. In the Controls column select the hazard or risk & then work through the hierarchy of controls from most effective to least effective.. Choose a control measure (and how it is to be used) that is as close to most effective as reasonably practicable. 6. Determine the residual risk level by use of the risk matrix. This rating should be lower than the initial risk level. Page 2 of 6 Version 3.0 Created: 12/8/15
