Here are the steps you can follow:
1.
Access and use the hazard identification and risk assessment form provided in Appendix A (not available to me). This form will guide you through the assessment process and help you record your findings.
2.
Begin by looking around your immediate work area, paying attention to the layout, equipment, movement, and work processes. Identify any hazards that you observe. For example:
a. Physical environment hazard: This could include slippery floors, inadequate lighting, or obstructions that may cause trips or falls. b. Plant hazard: Look for faulty equipment, malfunctioning machinery, or any potential sources of injury from kitchen appliances. c. Work practice hazard: Identify any unsafe practices, such as improper handling of knives, lack of personal protective equipment, or poor hygiene practices. d. Security issue hazard: Assess the security measures in place to protect the staff, equipment, and premises. Look for vulnerabilities like inadequate locks or unauthorized access points.
3.
Inspect the training kitchen and storage areas, such as dry stores or walk-in cool rooms, as instructed by your assessor. Collaborate with other students, if applicable, to identify hazards specific to these areas.
4.
Record the hazards you have identified in the WHS hazard identification form, ensuring you have
at least one hazard for each of the types listed above.
5.
Once you have identified the hazards, proceed to conduct a risk assessment for each hazard. Evaluate the potential risks associated with each hazard, considering the likelihood and severity of harm. You can use a risk analysis matrix to assess the level of risk posed by the hazards.
6.
Determine control measures for each potential risk based on the Hierarchy of Controls. The hierarchy consists of five levels: elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE). Select the appropriate control measures for each hazard and make note of the actions required.
7.
Identify implementation actions and create a timeline for each control measure. This will help ensure that the necessary actions are taken to control the identified risks within a specific timeframe.
8.
Document the outcome of the risk assessment, including the hazards identified, the level of risk posed, and the control measures to be implemented. Provide clear recommendations for eliminating or controlling the risks according to organizational procedures.
