Risk Assessment
BC Workplace Hazards Risk Assessment
Each workplace has its own unique hazards that pose a potential risk of harm to workers if not properly assessed and controlled. It is the Employer’s responsibility to ensure that these hazards are identified and communicated to Employees and that steps are taken to minimize or eliminate the risk of harm.
A Risk Assessment is the first step in controlling a hazard. Risk Assessments can be narrow in scope – pertaining to a single task or operation – or broad and comprehensive.
A Risk Assessment works to first identify hazards via walkthrough surveys/inspections, interviews and review of relevant documentation. Next, a Risk Classification is assigned to each hazard based on the probability and severity of harm associated with the specific hazard. Control measures are then determined, according to the Hierarchy of Controls.
