- Identification of potential hazards and operational issues
- Recommendations for risk mitigation measures
Role of Risk Assessment
Risk Assessment is a critical process that involves identifying potential hazards, evaluating the risks associated with these hazards, and determining appropriate ways to eliminate or control these risks.
Key Steps in Risk Assessment
- Identifying potential hazards
- Evaluating the risks associated with these hazards
- Determining appropriate control measures
