(*) SFARP: Risk is eliminated or reduced so far as reasonably practicable. If control measures have only been recently introduced or are under consideration, then NO is appropriate. (#) For Medium or higher risk rating (only): How do you measure and report on the effectiveness of your control program? Choose at least one measure. Typical measures include training participation, number of risk assessments carried out, raising and discussing controls at team meetings, workplace inspections Likelihood Descriptor Rating Consequence Descriptor Rating Almost certain to occur (90% probability) within the next 12 months or is imminent Has occurred at Deakin in the last year, and is highly likely to occur again within 12 months Very likely Fatality or serious irreversible disabilities Prosecution by authorities 1 Likely to occur within the next 12 months (greater than 50% probability) Has occurred in the in the last year at another University or similarly organisation Likely Hospitalisation Lost time over 10 days Improvement Notice from WorkSafe 2 occur but not likely to occur in a given year (less than 30% probability) Has occurred in the recent past (within 3 at Deakin or another University or similarly-sized organisation Unlikely Medical Treatment Lost time up to 10 days 3 May occur in exceptional circumstances (less than 1% probability) Has occurred rarely in other industries or within higher education sector Very Unlikely First aid treatment 4 Risk Rating Fatality (1) Serious Injury (2) Medical Treatment (3) First Aid (4) Very Likely High High High Medium Likely High High Medium Low Unlikely High Medium Low Low Very Unlikely Medium Medium Low Low PROCESS Identify the OHS hazards and associated risks Consider current controls Assess the status of the current controls: 1..6 Choose the relevant likelihood rating Assess the likely impact of the risk given the current controls Calculate the risk rating Consider the hierarchy of controls in choosing control measures to further reduce risk Take any further appropriate action (notifications, additional controls) Risk Level Action Timeframe for implementation of corrective action
