Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment?
A Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment is a structured process used to identify potential workplace hazards, assess the level of risk associated with those hazards, and recommend practical control measures to eliminate or reduce risk. The objective is to support regulatory compliance and protect the health and safety of employees, contractors, and other stakeholders.
What does the Risk Assessment process involve?
The process to develop any Risk Assessment will start with a consultation to understand the operations, activities, and client needs. Our team may need an inspection or walkthrough of the work location to identify relevant hazards. From there, conversations or interviews with the workers or supervisors may take place to understand their duties as it relates to the task. Once our team has all the details, they can produce a formal risk assessment including an evaluation of hazards before and after controls are implemented.
How long does a Risk Assessment take?
The overall timeline depends on factors such as the scope of work (e.g., the specific task being assessed, the physical area of the work), the resources needed (e.g., availability of the team, review of any existing policies), involved parties (e.g., workers, supervisors, JHSC), and applicable laws or standards that may apply.
Why are Risk Assessments important?
Risk assessments are a key part of an effective occupational health and safety program. It helps identify workplace hazards, determine who may be at risk, and evaluate the effectiveness of existing controls. The goal is to eliminate hazards where possible or reduce risk through appropriate control measures. By assessing the likelihood and severity of potential incidents, organizations can prioritize actions, prevent incidents, and meet legal requirements.
