Risk rating:

Low risk: Acceptable risk and no further action required as long as risk has been minimised as possible. Risk needs to be reviewed periodically. Moderate risk: Tolerable with further action required to minimise risk. Risk needs to be reviewed periodically.

High risk: Tolerable with further action required to minimise risk. Risk needs to be reviewedcontinuously. Criticalrisk: Unacceptable risk and further action required immediately to minimiserisk.

Catastrophic: Unacceptable risk and urgent action required to minimise risk.

Risk controls

The hierarchy of control can be used as an effective tool to deal with health and safety issues at work. Use the type of control suggested as measures to deal with the hazard. Aim to use control measures from as high on the hierarchy of control list as possible. If that is not possible, the next option down the list or a combination of the measures should be implemented. The least effective control measure is the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and it should be used as a last resort or support to other control measures. Information and training should be integrated with all levels of control to explain how controls work.

1. Eliminate - if it is possible, the hazard should be removed completely. For example, get rid of dangerousmachines.

1. Substitute - replace something that produces the hazard with something that does not produce a hazard. For example, replacing solvent-based paint with water-based paint. Risk assessment on the substitution must be conducted to ensure that it will not pose another hazard.

1. Engineering control - isolate a person from the hazard by creating a physical barrier or making changes to process, equipment or plant to reduce the hazard. For example, install ventilationsystems.

1. Administrative control - change the way a person works by establishing policies and procedures to minimise the risks. For example, job scheduling to limit exposure and posting hazardsigns.

1. Use personal protective equipment (PPE) - protect a person from the hazard by wearing PPE. For example, wearing gloves, safety glasses, hard hats and high-visibility clothing. PPE must be correctly fitted, used and maintained to provideprotection.
