Hazards Inspected Risk Assessment Description of Risk Control Measures Cons Like Risk Level RADIATION Can anyone using the plant, or in the vicinity of the plant suffer injury or illness due to exposure to radiation in the form of any of the following: infra-red radiation ultra violet light microwaves Y N NOISE Can anyone using the plant, or in the vicinity of the plant, suffer injury due to exposure to noise? Y N Moderate Unlikely Medium Operation of the plant equipment can result in high noise levels. Ensure operator wears appropriate PPE (e.g. ear plugs, ear muffs) whilst operating the equipment. VIBRATION Can anyone be injured or suffer ill-health from exposure to vibration? Y N FRICTION Can anyone be due to contact with moving parts, materials or surfaces of the plant? Y N SUFFOCATION Can anyone be suffocated due to lack of oxygen, or atmospheric contamination? Y N CONDITION Is a hazard likely due to the age and condition of the (Consider how hard the machine has been worked, and whether it is used constantly or rarely). Y N Can anyone be injured as a result of the plant not serviced appropriately and/or maintained in line with manufacturer’s recommendations? Y N
Hazards Inspected Risk Assessment Description of Risk Control Measures Cons Like Risk Level Can anyone the plant, or in the vicinity of the plant, slip, trip or fall due to: Poor housekeeping allowing the build-up of waste materials or failure to immediately clean up spills could result in a slip hazard. Inappropriate placement of objects (e.g. electric cord, spare materials, bags, etc) in the immediate vicinity of the plant equipment may result in a trip hazard. Ensure appropriate cleaning and housekeeping standards are maintained at all times to minimise the risk of a slip, trip or fall. Uneven, slippery or steep work surfaces? Y N Poor housekeeping, e.g. spillage in the vicinity? Y N Minor Possible Medium Obstacles being placed in the vicinity of the plant? Y N Minor Possible Medium Inappropriate or poorly maintained floor or walking surfaces (i.e. lack of a surface, unprotected holes, penetrations or gaps?) Y N If operating or maintaining plant at height can anyone slip, trip or fall due to: Use of work platforms, stairs or ladders? Y N Lack of guardrails or suitable edge protection? Y N Other Y N Hazards Inspected Risk Assessment Description of Risk Control Measures Cons Like Risk Level FIRE AND EXPLOSION Can anyone be injured by fire? Y N
Can anyone be injured by explosion of vapours, liquids, dusts, or other substances? Y N TEMPERATURE/MOISTURE Can anyone come into contact with objects at high or low temperatures? Y N Can anyone suffer ill-health due to exposure to high or low temperatures? Y N Can anyone be injured or suffer ill-health due to exposure to moisture? Y N OTHER Can anyone be injured or suffer ill-health from exposure to: Dust generated from the work process may be hazardous to health. Ensure appropriate control measures are implemented (E.g. local exhaust system, face masks, good housekeeping practices etc.). Chemicals? Y N Toxic gases or vapours? Y N Fumes/Dusts?
