The importance of evaluating hazards and risks
Risk Management, in the context of occupational safety and health (OSH), is the process of identifying OSH hazards, determining the risk based on likelihood and severity of work injuries, ill health, and property damage, prioritizing the implementation of preventive measures to mitigate these risks and communicating the risk assessment to workers. In some jurisdictions, the conduct of Risk Management is a statutory requirement, such as in Singapore1) and the United Kingdom.
Working with hazardous materials, apparatus, and equipment necessitates a thorough risk assessment. When working with hazardous materials, a risk assessment will look at the likelihood of an unfavorable hazardous event occurring and the consequences of that event. Finally, this can aid in determining the appropriate controls required to avoid the bad outcome. A risk assessment can help to limit the chances of academics, staff, or students being exposed to a laboratory hazard unnecessarily.
