Signature of person(s) completing the assessment Steve Moore Steve Moore Date 16/02/16 Short notes: Traffic s: This risk assessment will help you understand the whole emergency scheme and assess the all safety hazards in this centre. Several people have been involved in this risk assessment as it means a wider range of hazards are spotted and better ways are identified to control them. It looks at all the different ways that hazard could cause harm to people or that each issue is managed in the scheme it also considers who this might affect, for example staff or customers by identifying how badly people might be hurt and how likely this is to happen, or how well the issues are managed, and then use the system to rate the risk. After this a decision is made on whether more need to be put in place to reduce the risk to an acceptably low level or whether it is already well managed. If more needs to be done, extra are identified and how quickly they can be put in place. In some cases the further will include a more thorough risk assessment of a specific hazard Rating Red Amber Action High risk - action within 1 month, consider suspending work. Moderate with potential to become high risk - All actions to be completed within 3 months. The risk assessment is a living document so you should look at it regularly as it will be periodically reviewed usually annually and where significant changes or events occur such as an accident, change of physical structure etc. which may suggest the control are not sufficient. For more detailed guidance speak to your line manager or email the Health and Safety manager. Yellow Moderate risk - All actions to be completed within 6 months. Lower or no identified risk - Actions to be completed within 12 months, where required.
