Risk Assessments / Risk Management
Risk Assessments are of extreme importance for any organisation within their respective industry. As per the OHSAct Section 8 (2)(b), it’s the Employers responsibility to identify hazardous exposures and to put reasonably practicable measures in place to either mitigate or eliminate these hazards. Staff need to be trained and made aware of the risk assessments.
When Risk Assessments are implemented, they are reviewed regularly to ensure they are still consistent and in compliance with OHS regulations and company standards. Hazards that are identified through the risk assessment process include, Physical, Environmental, Ergonomics, Chemical and Electrical, Biological, and Psychosocial. More information on Risk Assessments can be found in the Major Hazard Installation Regulations, Section 5.
Meeka OHS Consulting specializes in risk assessments, ranging from Baseline, Issue-based, Continuous, Activity-based, and Health risk assessments. And we do the training of the risk assessments. The duration of conducting risk assessments and training staff on the assessments is a week.
