Hazard and risk management
Managing hazards and risks
Order these four steps for managing hazards and risks from most important to least important:
•	Monitor and review the control measures to ensure continual safety
•	Put appropriate control measures in place to eliminate or reduce the risks
•	Identify the hazards
•	Assess the risks arising from the hazard
When you think you have these in the correct order, check your answer against the one shown below:
•	Identify the hazards.
•	Assess the risks arising from the hazard.
•	Put appropriate control measures in place to eliminate or reduce the risks.
•	Monitor and review the control measures to ensure continual safety.
This hazard and risk identification process and subsequent control measures should be a process in which every person on-site is involved. This process should be documented.
