Workplace Risk Assessment: Step-by-Step Example

A risk assessment is a structured way to identify what can harm people, decide how serious the risk is, and choose controls that reduce that risk to an acceptable level.

Typical steps include: define the activity and people at risk; list hazards; estimate likelihood and severity; select hierarchy-of-control measures; assign owners and review dates; record residual risk.

Example: a packing-line supervisor notices trailing cables and blocked exits. Controls might include cable management, housekeeping checks and clear evacuation routes — verified on a short inspection checklist.
