Navigating a Risk Assessment

Every risk assessment has four steps, shown along the top of the page:

  1. Basic Information: the activity, the hazard, and where, when and who.
  2. Initial Risk Rating: how risky the activity is before any controls.
  3. Control Measures: what you'll do to reduce the risk, and who checks it.
  4. Final Risk Rating: how risky the activity is with the controls in place.
