Understanding risk assessment processes & risks associated with everyday activates
Risks are related to hazards; if there’s a wet floor it should be cleared up straight away and put a wet sign on top of it, to prevent someone from slipping over and injuring themselves badly.
Identifying risks
There are many types risks of hazards in every day life, all around us every where. Theses always some risks that are more likely to happen and some less likely. However, once you notice you have identified a hazard you must assess the risk that hazard can cause. Such as while crossing the road (the road is a hazard) we access the risks by checking if there’s cars coming from each side, how fast is the car coming? Can I run/walk across the room? Etc.

In a resistant home if a wheelchair is blocking fire exits (the wheelchair is a hazard) we access the risk that hazard can cause such as will it be unable to evacuate the ward quickly? Can people be trapped?
Estimating risks
Once you have identified the risks by marking out the hazards. You would than estimate the risk. Estimating the risk, is usually done by accessing the risk level from 1 to 5 (low, medium, high) 1 is means not very likely to happen which is a low risk, the number 3 on the scale is about in the middle lastly 5 is when it much more likely to be possible or likely will happen.

After you have accessed the risks and hazards of the wheelchair blocking the fire exit you would estimate the risk which would be high.
Controlling risks
When we are controlling the risk we are deciding what to do to reduce or to eliminate the risk. However this means the possible actions that can be made to reduce the risk or even remove the risk.

After you have accessed the risks, hazards and estimated the risk you would control the risk by keeping storage away from fire exits.
