Identify the potential hazards associated with the activity - i.e. the things that could go wrong and how people could get hurt or ill, then assess the likelihood of these things happening and how severe the consequences might be. After identifying and assessing the risk, evaluate if the current controls are effective and being used, or whether additional measures could be used to minimise or eradicate the risk of harm.

Step 1: Identify the activity
Description work activity:	An outing to a local cheese factory for a tour via train.
Describe the location:
Who may be at risk by the activity?
Step 2: Identify the hazards, risk and rate the risks
An activity may be divided into tasks. For each task identify the hazards and associated risks. List existing risk controls and determine a risk rating using the organisation's procedures related to risk assessment and control. Note: the risk rating codes, Improbable (I), Possible (P) and Probable (P) are included in the table that follows. Change the codes as required to align with rating codes in the organisation's procedures. Additional risk controls may be required to achieve an acceptable level of risk. Re-rate the risk if additional risk controls used. Add additional lines if required.
