After 6 months

RISK ASSESSMENT IS THE PROCESS OF QUALIFYING THE LEVEL

OF RISK ASSOCIATED WITH THE OPERATION OF A GIVEN WORK. IT SHOULD BE A STRUCTURED AND SYSTEMATIC
PROCESS.
HOW SEVERE ARE THE POTENTIAL INJURIES?
HOW FREQUENTLY ARE EMPLOYEES EXPOSED TO THE POTENTIAL HAZARDS?
WHAT THE POSSIBILITY OF AVOIDING THE HAZARDS IF IT DOES OCCUR?
WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD OF AN INJURY SHOULD A SAFETY CONTROL SYSTEM FAIL?
