You should have about 8-10 of these sheets printed off which you should be able to compete in the 60 minutes allocated to this section. Observations
Hazards and consequences
Control measures
Immediate and longer-term actions
Timescale
(immediate, 1 week, etc)
In the first column of the observation sheets is where you make a note of the hazards you have identified as well as the good practices (do not waste too much time on good practices as this is only worth one mark so as long as there is at least one good practice you can gain the mark for this). We are looking for you to identify 30 different hazards.
The next column is the controls section here you must have both short and long term actions for every hazard you have noted in order to gain the marks.
The short term actions are those which you can do straight away to prevent the hazard from causing harm there and then. The timeframes for the controls measures should be thought about and should be realistic. If immediate is written on them all management would have no idea where to start so this needs to be thought about carefully.
Each hazard must have the consequences noted so for example if you note trailing cables you will not gain the mark however if you note trailing cables leading to trip hazards then you will get the marks for this section.
We are looking for you to identify not only about 30 hazards but cover a wide range of hazards so have a look through and see if you have included hazards from as many different categories as possible for example:
- fire.
- chemical.
- transport.
- machinery.
- slips/trips/falls.
- heights.
- health.
- welfare.
- signs.
- first aid etc.
The long term hazards are those which you are suggesting which should eliminate of reduce the hazards in the long term so for
