IMPORTANT - CONDUCT A RISK ASSESSMENT
Before you commence any work at your chosen work area, you should
undertake some preliminary hazard identification and risk control
precautions. Ideally more than one person should do this. This is
undertaken by:
1. Physically inspecting the work site
2. Reviewing the best way/job steps required to complete the task
3. Reviewing the Safe Work Information supplied with the equipment
4. Reviewing other reference documentation and expert advice.
The hazard identification and control process steps are defined as:
1. Identify the Hazards (eg. 240V power drill use around wet areas)
2. Assess the Risk (multi earth paths - possible electrocution)
3. Select the Control Measure (e.g. dry the area; use an RCD; use a
cordless drill etc)
4. Re-assess the Risk (risk of electrocution now negligible). This is
undertaken to ensure that the risk control measures adopted have not
introduced any new risks to the work area.
