Risk Rating
E - Extreme risk: Activity not to commence. Review of task and controls by relevant Manager / Coordinator, with workgroup to identify control measures to
lower the level of risk. If the risk remains Extreme then authorization from the General Manager is required before the activity can
commence.
H - High risks: Authorized by relevant Manager / Coordinator. Should only be an acceptable level of risk for ‘Major’ or ‘Catastrophic’ consequences.
M - Moderate risk: Authorized by Supervisor / Team Leader. An acceptable level of risk.
L - Low risk: Manage by routine procedures. An acceptable level of risk
Hazard Controls
Selecting control measures (WHS Regulations 2012, Regulation 36 – Hierarchy of control measures)
1. Eliminate the risks so far as is reasonable practicable
2. If this is not reasonably practicable, minimize them so far as reasonably practicable by applying the following hierarchy of control measures: Minimize the
risk by doing one or more of the following:
o substituting the hazard
o isolating the hazard
o implementing engineering controls
If the risk still remains, minimize the remaining risk by implementing administrative controls
If the risk still remains, minimize the remaining risk by ensuring the provision and use of suitable personal protective equipment (PPE).
