Introduction
The overall purpose of the risk assessment process is to evaluate the hazards that arise or might arise during the organization’s activities and ensure that the risks to people arising from these hazards are assessed, prioritized, and controlled to eliminate hazards or reduce risks to acceptable levels. Hazards have the potential to cause injury or ill health. They need to be identified before the risks associated with these hazards can be assessed and, if no controls exist or existing controls are inadequate, effective controls should be implemented according to the hierarchy of controls.
