Risk assessment for a serious workplace hazard

 

Develop a risk assessment for a serious workplace hazard with which you are familiar, view Appendix 2 found in the OSHA document Job Hazard Analysis to help you select a hazard. Evaluate the hazard and its associated risks, and then complete the Hazard Analysis and Risk Analysis Project form. To complete the Initial Risk Assessment and Post Control Risk Assessment sections, use the following codes based on the Risk Assessment Matrix
Severity:
1 – Catastrophic
2 – Critical
3 – Marginal
4 – Negligible

Probability (Likelihood of Occurrence):
A – Frequent
B – Probable
C – Occasional
D – Remote
E – Improbable

Risk Code:
H – High
S – Serious
M – Medium
L – Low

All sections of the form must be completed. Note that the “Post Control Risk Assessment Measures” section reflects the risk assessment after applying the additional control measures.

In a separate document of at least one page, explain the reasoning behind how you filled out each section of the form. How would the control measures affect the assessment?
