Happy Tuesday Wonder if anyone could point me in the right direction. Just about to have the ISO 9001 Audit (urrrgh) and the next quarter Im drawing up my battle plan of forward actions. Although the new employer has existing RA in place I want to revamp and come up with a better more workable system. As it stands each hazard has about three pages of support Risk rating and control measure information for that hazard. Working in the M+E commercial, domestic and rail sectors was wondering if any members Know of an uber list of hazards I could use as a staring point. Im trying to get buy in from the relevant contracts managers to provide associated hazards to there sector and trying to engage them with the idea but little response im afraid Any help would be appreciated L

Unless your system primary purpose id to facilitate dynamic risk assessment for individual hazards, normally one has risk assessments for "Activities" and generally not for Hazards.

Identify the hazards Decide who might be harmed and how Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions Record your significant findings Review your assessment and update if necessary im trying to create a data base of hazards and produce the RA based on the hazards and not the activity L

Hi Lojikglos It does look like your are reversing engineering a risk assessment. Normally you would look at a task or activity, for example; Replacing windows on the 1st floor Where one of the Hazards would be working at height. If you do a separate Risk Assessment for every hazard, you will end up with an awful lot of risk assessments! For my example activity above there could be 10 hazards identified, which would be logged on one assessment. If i'm understanding what you want to do, that would be 10 separate risk assessment. Our Risk Assessments have a generic list of about 20 standard hazards which the person ticks when applicable and then puts in details about the hazard and controls, that might work.

Mr Flibble Kind of . . .My Intention is creating a starting point for the Project / Contract Managers. They know the job . . .they go onto the RA Database . . .they cut and paste the relevant hazards to the task . . . thus creating RA to the Job. Yes it may be generic and would need to be backed up with Point Of Work Risk Assessment completed by persons completing the task thus making it Site Specific. L
