Assessment 2 – Project
Risk Assessment
Your task:
For the purpose of this assessment, you are required to conduct a risk assessment of your workplace or
training environment as instructed by your trainer. All tasks listed below must be addressed and completed.
The relevant columns in the attached document are indicated in brackets ( ) for each point below as
applicable.
1. Write an introduction describing your workplace. The information needs to include:
a) The nature of the business
b) The activities typically carried out in the department where the risk assessment is carried
out
c) An overview of staff who perform the activities (trainees, apprentices, trade qualified,
unqualified etc.)
2. Use the document “WHS Risk Assessment Template” attached to this assessment and document all
typical activities performed in the department where you work. (Step 1 Activity)
3. Where activities are extensive or require multiple tasks you may break these down into smaller
steps. (Step 1 Activity)
4. Identify any potential hazards relevant for each activity and document these (Step 2 Hazards)
5. Consult with each worker about hazards they have encountered or witnessed in the past. Attach a
list outlining with whom you consulted about what, their job role, and attach this list to this project
marked “Hazard Consultation”
6. Consult with your supervisor or manager and identify whether there have been any workplace
incidents recorded during the past 12 months, as a result form hazards relevant to the area where
you conduct this risk assessment. Attach a list with details of occurrences and dates and where you
sourced this information (do not provide personal details of persons involved in incidents)
7. Describe any existing controls to reduce each hazard you have identified (Step 4 Existing Controls)
8. Enter any existing Risk Score if available (Existing Risk Score)
9. Use the risk analysis matrix on page 4 “WHS Risk Assessment Template” to determine the Risk Score
and Risk Level for each identified potential risk (Step 3 Potential Risk + Risk Score)
10. Determine the required Actions for each hazard based on the Hierarchy of Controls (page 4) and
enter the action(s) (Step 5 Action Required)
