group+3—risk+assessment

=**risk assessment is a response to the risks.**=

the groups before need to post the risk, your task is to assess the risks and scale the risks. which is the highest risk to the lowest risk? add some everyday visual examples of the risks or respond to the risks posted

devise a system of risk assessment you can easily refer to.

Team No.5 //Nat Mah//

Brilliant! what was the risk we can all point to the 'chainy' but don't underestimate the more familiar. + OHS isn't just about reading the information and expecting other people around you to make the working environment safer for everyone. It is not only their responsibility, it is yours! Don't just read the information on OHS, put it into action by paying attention and being aware of what is around you. Report any accidents immediately to a supervisor or the authorities no matter how high or low the level of risk is.

I media type="custom" key="5673279" As this video shows, both the organisation and the employee are responsible for what happened. No one was looking out for each other and that is very important in OHS in a workplace. The specialised risks depend on the the type of workplace. E.g: Schools and universities which run chemical laboratories need to consider putting emergency procedures in place when working with chemicals (cause of spillages), explosive substances or hazardous chemicals.

Risks arn't always so obvious as this video shows, and sometimes the risk may be caused due to the carelessness of the individual, as these warning signs (which Team No.5 created) show: Unmaintained equipment that haven't been updated is a **high risk**:media type="custom" key="5878685" Overworking on a P.C is a **low risk** and can cause temporary eye strain and back strain:media type="custom" key="5878701" Not using safety equipment (protective goggles or ear muffs) when specified is a **high risk**:media type="custom" key="5878715" Doing Manual work for long periods of time creates muscle and joint pain and is a **high risk**:media type="custom" key="5878727"

A cluttered workplace is a **medium risk** as any drinks on a workplace space can spill onto electrical equipment:media type="custom" key="5878733" This is really well finalised, as it is easily identifiable as occurrences in your current studio or worksite. Congratulations to team 5. really well done and the first team to successfully complete the online WIKI forum. excellent team effort and outcomes. well done and thanks for the lead out+ GRADE: passed assessed.

=Sims team-Assessing the risk= Once the hazard has been identified the next step in hazard management is to assess the risk created by the hazard. The following should be considered: Risk assessments should also look at how the job is done, where it is done, what training and skills are needed to do the job and what control measures are available. A risk assessment includes: <<(vehicle noise tester)
 * The nature of the hazard and how it may affect the health and safety of workers.
 * How many people are exposed to the hazard and how they are exposed.
 * To what extent, how often and over what period of time a person is exposed.
 * Inspecting the workplace.
 * Testing (ie. noise levels).

By by ben nicholls
 * Looking at statistics and data.
 * Talking with people.

ben well done and these are valid and applicable to risk assessment in your studio work environment. it only takes a second — see patrick catfords video of identifying risk. +

=Team RRR - Patrick=

The assessment of risks should: - Identify the hazards - Identify all affected by the hazard and how - Evaluate the risk - Identify and prioritize appropriate control measures The calculation of risk is based on the likelihood or probability of the harm being realized and the severity of the consequences.This can be expressed mathematically as a quantitative assessment (by assigning low, medium and high likelihood and severity with integers and multiplying them to obtain a risk factor, or qualitatively as a description of the circumstances by which the harm could arise. The assessment should be recorded and reviewed periodically and whenever there is a significant change to work practices.The assessment should include practical recommendations to control the risk. Once recommended controls are implemented, the risk should be re-calculated to determine of it has been lowered to an acceptable level. Generally speaking, newly introduced controls should lower risk by one level, i.e, from high to medium or from medium to low.

=Patrick Catford= = great effort patrick has observed and reflected on the issue of risk, notice how **identifying risk** and **assessing risk** are pretty well interrelated, can you see the risk, assess the risk and where you can you reduce the risk level. Medium to low. high to medium. If a sparking power point is in a studio, it's high risk — so you act to reduce the risk! What would you do? + =
