Finally, it is important to recognise that some hazards identified may require a further more specialised risk assessment to be conducted e.g. chemicals, fire, manual handling/lifting etc. 3.2 The risk assessment process is relatively straightforward and includes the following steps:  List the hazards (hazard description).  List those at risk.  Evaluate the risk (initial assessment).  Implement control measures.  Assess the residual risk.  Implement further action, as required.  Record findings. 3.4 The risk assessment process is a requirement under a number of other pieces of Health and Safety legislation. Some of these are listed below:  COSHH Regulations 2002 (as amended).  Noise at Work Regulations 2005.  Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2012.  The Health and Safety (Young Persons) Regulations 1997.  The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 (amended 2002).  The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (as amended).  The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992.  The Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017.  The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.  Work at Height Regulations 2005 and amendment 2007. 3.5 It is also important to remember that risk assessment is required in some other ‘less obvious’ aspects of work activity. These may include issues such as:  Lone working (see Managing Personal Safety at Work Policy)  Pregnant workers (see Pregnancy Risk Assessment form within the Maternity Leave and Pay Policy). 4. COMPLETING THE RISK ASSESSMENT FORM The following is a step by step guide to completing the Risk Assessment Form. The Risk Assessment Form is available on the WATMOS Intranet or from the HR Manager. 4.1 List the hazards (hazard description) Walk around the workplace and look at what could reasonably be expected to cause harm. Ignore the trivial and concentrate only on significant hazards, which could result in serious harm or affect several people. Ask employees or their representatives what they think. They may have noticed things, which are not immediately obvious. It is also advisable to consult with manufacturers’ instructions or hazard data sheets to help in spotting hazards and put the risks in their true perspective. Use the following examples as a guide (this list is not a comprehensive list of hazards, it is to be used as a guide).
