Another risk assessment question

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Any help on this would be very helpful.

I have to write a risk assessment for a job coming up to go along side the method statement which is already done.

I have a copy of the generic risk assessment I think I found on here and also the one from the aa website.

When writing one specifically for a job what should be included?

The template I have covers the whole lot for arb work but should I just state and include what is going to be relevant to the job in hand or complete the full r/a and mark down n/a for the sections that do not apply??

Just thinking in terms of going through the whole lot may a bit pointless if most of it is not applicable.

 

Thanks for any replies

Your MS should say how the job is going to be carried out, what assets are required and who has the potential to be affected by works.

You should then have a SSRA that shows, both at the time of survey and on the day/days of operations, what risks have been observed. There should be back up documents showing the hazard analysis for each of these risks and how, through training, work procedures, barriers, PPE etc each of the hazards are abated or thier potential to cause harm are significantly reduced.

All of the boxes ticked on the SSRA should have a set of back-up documents and a list of these should appear on your MS.

A contractor will usually want to see your MS and RA, (usually referred to as RAMS), and the relevant back-up documents. We have all ours on the hard drive so they are routinely sent out to contractors.

They should also be dated and signed by the person responsible for H&S and should have a review date on them so they are looked at and kept up to date at least once a year.
