RiskSafe Risk Assessment Manual

Assessment Details

Complete details of your Organisation, Team/Department, Assessor and Date.

Note: Determine the next review date. Normally the next review date is up to one year ahead. The Risk assessment is also reviewed when:

(1) When there are changes in work processes/activities
(2) After any accidents/incidents
Risk Identification

Identify risks or hazards with your organisation or a particular team, business unit or a process. Carefully go through each of the Risk categories to understand if any are valid risks for your organisation (e.g. Legal, Health & safety).

You can use the risks by going through each of the risks categories. There is also free field text for you to enter specific information that relates to your risk.

Risk Evaluation

Likelihood of occurrence of a risk or an accident is defined as the probability that the risk event will happen. Choose the likelihood from a value between 1 and 5. Consider the records of such events happening in the past when deciding on the likelihood.

Consequence is the degree or extent of risk or harm caused by the hazards. Choose the most likely severity from a value between 1 and 5, rather than the most extreme.

Refer to the Risk Matrix tab for the likelihood and consequence table.

Risk Rating is calculated using the combination of Likelihood and Consequence.

Risk rating = Likelihood X Consequence

Control Actions

Indicate risk control measures that are already in place to eliminate or minimise risks.

Note, where there are good controls in place, the consequence or likelihood or a risk can be reduced, bringing down the 'inherent' risk rating to a 'residual' risk rating.

Treatment Plans

Where there are ineffective controls or gaps in processes identified, you can create treatment plans to minimise risk exposure.

You can also assign an owner to complete these treatments and due dates.

Audit of Controls

You can test each of the controls you have listed as a control to minimise your risk. In order to do this, create a list of expected outcomes (how should the control be functioning ideally).

The assessor should then test against each of these expected outcomes by either observation, interview, re-performance. Once you are comfortable, assess whether the control is effective or ineffective.

If the control is ineffective, consider creating a treament plan. Also identify when the next test should occur.

Dashboard

The dashboard should will show an overview of number of risks, controls and treatments that have been identified.

You can export reports through the dashboard.

Treatments

List out all of the treaments that are currently open and provide an update on the status.
