PTW Risk Assessment
It is important to monitor risk controls and review risk assessments regularly. Review is required when there is a change in the process, relevant legal
changes, and where a cause for concern has arisen. Reviews could be scheduled on an annual basis. If the risk assessment has substantially changed a new
risk assessment is warranted.

Notes: Include legal and advisory documentation that supports this risk assessment be listed. Such documentation includes Acts, Regulations, Standards, where applicable. If
the risk assessment for an identified hazard is ranked ’Low’ but the regulatory requirements have not been complied to while establishing and/or implementing controls, the
ranking for the assesses risk shall be considered ‘Very High’
Risk Assessment Steps:
Step 1: Identify Hazards Title (e.g. Physical Hazard, Fire Hazard, and Electrical Hazards).
Step 2: List Hazards Details identified (e.g. Tripping Hazard, Flammable Materials stored,
Working in Electrical Cabinets).
Step 3: List Causes of Hazard (e.g. Untidy workplace, Hot work, un-isolated electrical
supply).
Step 4: List Consequences of Hazard (e.g. Personnel Injury, Fire, electric shock).
Step 5: Determine Likelihood and Consequences to People, Assets, Environment, and Reputation
from attached Risk Assessment Matrix (Page 2) (this should be the most probable outcome
without controls and should be listed as 2A, 3D etc.).
Step 6. Calculate the Risk Index using the Qualitative or Semi-Quantitative Risk Assessment
Matrix as deemed appropriate. This is a product of Likelihood and Consequence and should be Descriptor to assist in Qualitative Assessment of Likelihood/ Frequency of
stated Low, Medium, High or Very High). Likelihood Occurrence.
Step 7. List Existing Controls. (e.g. Tidy Site Policy, Hot Work Permit, Isolation of
Electrical Supply).
