Risk assessment is a crucial component of any workplace's safety strategy. This section will guide you on how to identify, evaluate, and control risks effectively.

Identifying Potential Hazards

Recognizing hazards in the workplace is the first step in risk assessment. This involves understanding the different types of hazards and how they can occur.

Evaluating Risks

Once potential hazards are identified, the next step is to evaluate the level of risk they pose. This involves considering both the likelihood of the hazard occurring and the severity of the potential outcome.

Controlling Risks

After evaluating the risks, the next step is to implement measures to control these risks. This may involve eliminating the hazard, implementing safety procedures, or providing safety equipment.
