Update Details: New worksheet added to the ER14 Hazard Risk Assessment Register along with some other updates to the file.
To improve this register and support effective analysis of hazards we've added a new 'Hazard-Review' sheet to this register. This sheet is an optional planning sheet for the review of overall hazards and is pre-populated with a number of hazard categories including;
- Slips / Trips / Falls on the level
- Fall from height
- Struck-by hazards
- Confined space / Inadequate headroom
- Manual lifting hazards

- Violence / aggression / harassment
- Stress and psychosocial hazards
- Fatigue

- Vehicles / mobile equipment
- Road travel / road traffic
- Inadequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Lone / Young / Pregnant workers
- Use of display-screen equipment
- Exposure to hazardous substances
- Exposure to biological hazards
- Exposure to noise
- Exposure to vibration
- Musculoskeletal damage
- Extreme Temperature / Exposure
- Adverse weather
- Poor air quality or ventilation
- Radiation exposure
- Contractors and visitors
- Compressed air
- Sharp objects
- Inadequate lighting levels
- Inadequate training / supervision
- Inadequate emergency procedures
- Electrical hazards
As well as the hazard category the sheet includes a description of each and a Risk-rating field which is controlled by a select-box to indicate if the hazard is applicable (the row will automatically be greyed if N/A is selected) and the risk-rating using the standard risk level indicator (with conditional formatting based on level of risk selected being applied automatically).
Notes can also be added against each entry. This planning sheet is intended to support and enhance the hazard-risk review process.
A number of other minor updates were also made to the file including an update to the Instructions.
