Step-by-step guided method statement
Step-by-step guided risk assessment
Harmony Fire's risk assessment methodology, and where each part lives in this portal.
Risk assessment is the basis of health and safety law in the UK. This requires employers to set up systems for assessing, monitoring and controlling risks, under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
Risk assessment enables the identification of hazards (events or activities which could cause harm) and the evaluation of the associated risks (the combination of the likelihood of their occurrence and the severity of the consequences). This activity reduces to six questions: What could go wrong? How likely is it? What would happen? What are the associated risks? Are the risks acceptable? How can the risks be reduced?
This guide describes the method Harmony Fire uses for carrying out and recording risk assessments, and for acting on the findings to reduce risk — and maps every step to the actual control in the RAMS Builder.
Hazards are best identified by a step-by-step examination of exactly what is done, in the order it's carried out, by those who actually do the work — in consultation with those familiar with safety procedures and statutory requirements. List every hazard; don't dismiss any on the grounds of irrelevance or scale, that happens during assessment, not identification.
Once hazards are listed, identify who is at risk: employees, visitors, sub-contractors or members of the public — with particular attention to age, experience and capability.
Risk (R) = Severity (S) × Likelihood (L), scored using Harmony's standard 5×5 matrix (HF-TEM-HSE-0016).
The establishment of a risk rating is only the start — likelihood must account for existing controls, and where a risk isn't adequately controlled, further measures must be identified, implemented and communicated. All hazards should be dealt with in order of priority using the Hierarchy of Control:
Regularly review the effectiveness of the hazard/risk assessment and controls — as a guide, High risk monthly, Medium risk bi-monthly, Low risk quarterly — and always after an incident or a change to the workplace. Changes must be logged and tracked to allow approval and agreement on what changed.
Tagged activity → hazard → control library. Insert a known entry straight into a Risk Assessment's Hazard Rows step instead of drafting from scratch.
