What are the tasks involved? in order of job sequence
Hazards/risks What can happen and how can it happen?
Raw Risk Controls to be implemented to reduce risks What will be done to ensure zero harm?
Residual Risk Person responsible Who will make sure it happens?
Break the job down into steps. Each step should accomplish some major task and be in a logical sequence
Specify the potential hazards associated with each step and risks to health, safety and the environment. Examine each to find possibilities that could lead to an incident.
