3.4 Assessing risk

Step one of the five step approach to risk assessment is to:

• 1 Control the risks
• 2 Record findings
• 3 Identify the hazards and who is at risk
• 4 Review the controls

The first and most effective item in the ISO 45001 hierarchy of control is to:

• 1 Provide PPE
• 2 Eliminate the hazard
• 3 Use warning signs
• 4 Train workers

A risk assessment that is 'suitable and sufficient' means it:

• 1 Is completed once and never changed
• 2 Deals with the significant risks in proportion to the level of risk
• 3 Covers every possible hazard in great detail
• 4 Is done by an outside consultant only

Risk is:

• 1 The result of a control measure
• 2 The same as a hazard
• 3 Anything with the potential to cause harm
• 4 The likelihood of harm and its severity

A hazard is:

• 1 Anything with the potential to cause harm
• 2 A control measure
• 3 The chance that harm will occur
• 4 An injury that has happened

Risk profiling is:

• 1 A list of injuries
• 2 An audit of the policy
• 3 A high-level ranking of activities and areas by risk
• 4 A detailed study of one machine

A risk assessment that is not suitable and sufficient is one that:

• 1 Deals with the significant risks
• 2 Is reviewed
• 3 Considers who is at risk
• 4 Misses significant hazards or is excessively detailed

Which people should be identified in step one of the five step approach?

• 1 Workers, contractors, visitors and the public who are at risk
• 2 Only the person doing the assessment
• 3 Only permanent staff
• 4 Only the managers

Step four of the five step approach is to:

• 1 Identify the hazards
• 2 Carry out the audit
• 3 Record the findings
• 4 Assess the risk

Step five of the five step approach is to:

• 1 Review the controls
• 2 Control the risks
• 3 Identify the hazards
• 4 Record the findings

In a risk assessment, existing controls should be:

• 1 Removed
• 2 Taken into account before deciding if more is needed
• 3 Recorded only after the incident
• 4 Ignored

The second item in the ISO 45001 hierarchy of control is:

• 1 Use PPE
• 2 Substitute with something less hazardous
• 3 Provide training
• 4 Eliminate the hazard

In the hierarchy of control, personal protective equipment is:

• 1 The last item
• 2 The second item
• 3 The first item
• 4 Not part of it

Training is placed in the hierarchy under:

• 1 Elimination
• 2 Engineering controls
• 3 Substitution
• 4 Administrative controls

Residual risk is:

• 1 The risk before any control
• 2 The risk that remains after controls are in place
• 3 The risk to visitors only
• 4 The cost of the control
