Risk and
Opportunity assessment: Company that has implemented an Occupational Health
and Safety Management System knows that the assessment of risk, and the
management of the controls to address risk, is critical for managing
occupational health & safety. Assessment of risks and determining what
needs to be done about them has always been a part of the OH&SMS, and this
has not changed. The only real change is to include an additional focus for the
important task of risk assessment, and the assessment of opportunities that can
be pursued to benefit your company, which can help you with OH&S improvement.
Required Risks
and Hazards:
Company must identify all of their risks and hazards associated with their activities,
processes and work areas. If all the hazards were identified, then company
would then identify what risks exist for the hazards and what controls you
needed to put in place to mitigate the risks present.
All
the Requirements for assessing risks for the Process and activities are the
part of the planning for the OH&SMS and controlling the risk from your
Processes is an important parts for ensuring the health and safety of the
people within your Facilities.
"Health
and safety managers are too often called upon after an incident has occurred.
At this point, it's too late. A person or people have been injured or are
already unwell," says Kate Armitage, Head of Quality Assurance at Qualsys.
"ISO 45001:2018 requires organisations to be more proactive by
systematically identifying, assessing and monitoring health and safety risks
and opportunities."
