How I Control Risks or Controlling risk 

How do you reduce risk?

If you want to reduce the risk, you’ll need to:

•         reduce likelihood

•         reduce consequence

•         reduce both

Control Risks

Any risk that remains after controls 

have been implemented is called residual risk

How do you decide which
risk control to use?

Since there are so many risk controls to choose from, how do you know which are the most effective?

To help decide on the risk control there is a hierarchy of risk control that you can use

The most effective method of risk control is to completely eliminate the hazard

One way to eliminate the hazard is to remove it completely

If the hazard can’t be eliminated, attempt to reduce its potential to cause harm

Another way to reduce the hazard is to substitute it with a less hazardous solution

If the hazard can’t be eliminated, attempt to reduce its potential to cause harm

Next, prevent people from coming into contact with hazards by separating them from each other

Enclosing the hazard behind a barrier is also an effective way of separating hazards from people

A safe system of work details how activities should be carried out to minimise risk

Personal protective equipment is the last line of defence, since it’s entirely reliant on each employee remembering to wear it

In general, risk controls that rely on people
are weaker than those that don’t

A number of factors may affect your risk control decision, such as:

•         number of people you’re trying to protect

•         reliance on behaviour

•         maintenance

•         cost

reduction of risk

If elimination is the safer option, what would cause us to choose a barrier instead?

Risks must be reduced
so far as is reasonably practicable
