Risk assessments
A procedure used to identify potential hazards… Risk Assessments Q1. What is this? A procedure used to identify potential hazards… These hazards can then be eliminated or minimised by using alternative or additional methods Q2. Provide an example of this being used at Calderdale College

Risk Assessments Scoring the risk… Risks are given a rating score This score is worked out by multiplying the ‘severity’ score by the ‘likelihood’ score A risk over 5 is not acceptable It is impossible to obtain a risk score of zero
Risk Assessments Scoring the risk… Severity – how ‘bad’ the result could be No injury or ill health is predicted Low – first aid required (cuts and bruises) Medium – medical treatment required (concussion, strains, sprains, etc.) High – major injury, ill health (broken bones, poisoning, etc.) Severe – fatality, multiple injuries
Risk Assessments Scoring the risk… Likelihood – the chance of the risk happening Improbable, no likely risk Low – remote Medium – quite possible High – probable Severe – almost certain
Risk Assessments Scoring the risk… 16-25: Unacceptable level of risk / immediate action 10-15: High-risk level / take action 6-9: Medium risk level / take action within a month 3-5: Fairly low risk level / take action within 6 months 1-2: Low risk / no action necessary
