Scope / Purpose This task inventory listing and risk analysis applies to multiple programs and workplaces within program across the province. This analysis is a level 1 assessment of common tasks and hazards that most MFLNRO staff are likely to be exposed to. A further analysis (level 2) is recommend to identify additional tasks, hazards and applicable control measures by local workplaces/offices. Both assessment levels will use the following ranking criteria and documented under Table 1 below: Ranking Criteria (Level 1 and 2) Severity Probability Minor injury, requiring local First Aid or less N Probable likely to occur immediately or very soon after A No time loss injury and/or damage less than $5,000 1 Reasonably probable likely to occur eventually B Time loss injury with no loss of life or limb, damage less than $100,000 Catastrophic major disabling injury or fatality, damage in excess of $100,000 2 Remote could occur at some point C 3 Extremely remote unlikely to occur D Identification of task and hazards from level 1 and 2 assessments and periodic reviews will determine the need for development of control measures (elimination, substitution, engineered, administrative, PPE). Those identified and assessed task/hazards deemed to be 2B or greater will be further addressed for control measures. November 18, 2015 Page 1
