Assignment Workplace Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
The instructions are generated with the help of artificial intelligence to increase details and accuracy.
Objective:
In this assignment, you will apply your knowledge of occupational health and safety principles to identify potential hazards, assess risks, and propose effective controls within your usual work/study environment in a maximum 10-page report, including photos taken by you of your selected environment.
Structure and Tasks:
1. Choose either a workplace or a home office environment for the assessment.
2. Hazard Identification: Conduct a thorough walk-through to identify five potential hazards. These hazards should span various categories, including people-related, equipment-related, environmental, material-related, and process-related.
3. Take photos of each identified hazard.
4. Provide a description for each hazard explaining its potential risks. Specify possible injuries or illnesses for each hazard, categorized as over-traumatic injuries, overexertion injuries, or repetitive strain injuries.
5. Assess the probability of each hazard causing harm and evaluate the potential severity of consequences. Finally, assign an overall risk level to each hazard (low, medium, high).
6. Recommend control measures for each hazard based on the hierarchy of controls (elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and PPE) and justify the effectiveness of the chosen control methods.
