  Risk Assessment Formand Instructions The attached forms should be completed by a suitably trained ‘Competent Person’ for each different each location / situation. The area should be checked against the Hazard Check-List on page 2 and any hazards present noted. The risks associated with each hazard identified should be assessed on page 3. The severity of the risk should be assessed as: High if it could result in death or as threshold, three consecutive or more days off work Medium if it would mean administering first aid and disrupting proceedings Low if it would mean administering minor first aid without disrupting proceedings Remember: It is important not to assume – always check. Likelihood should also be assessed as: High if it is likely or probable Medium if it is possible Low if it is remote or improbable. The overall risk should be measured as a combination of severity and likelihood as follows. Likelihood Severity High Medium Low High High High Medium Medium High High/Med Med/Low Low Med/Low Low Low If the risk is high or medium, then control measures should be put in place to minimise the risk. Remember the hierarchy of control measures: Elimination – Do not use the location where the hazard exists. Substitution or Simulation – Can a different location be used or a mock up be substituted? Distance – Be as far away from the hazard as possible? Enclosure – Can the hazard be enclosed to eliminate the risk? Guarding – Can someone be posted to ensure that people do not come into contact with the hazard? Safe Systems of Work – Can procedures be put in place and rehearsals done to ensure that the risk is minimised? Written Procedures – Can published instructions be used to alert people of appropriate actions? Monitoring – Can the hazard be monitored to ensure that we are aware of its risk status? Information / Instructions – can training be given to improve awareness? Personal Protective Equipment - (This should not be used as a stand-alone measure). Once the control measures have been decided upon the risk should be re-assessed and the residual risk noted. If the residual risk falls within the low category then all parties involved should be formally made aware of the control measures that have been put in place and the action can proceed. If it still falls in the medium or high category then the action should not proceed and specialist advice should be sought if the action causing the risk is still deemed necessary. Remember, you have a legal and moral duty to do everything that is ‘Reasonably Practicable’ to ensure a safe and healthy working environment for everyone involved in the proceedings. You may be liable for any criminal and civil proceedings should you fail to observe this duty or if you fail to control risks acceptably. Upon completion, this form should be forwarded to the Production Manager who should keep all forms for the Production concerned in such a manner that they can be easily accessed should they need to be recalled. At the end of the production, the Production Manager should pass all of the forms on to the General Manager. Page 1 of 4
