Report and record outcome – the findings of the risk assessment must be recorded and all those involved and who need to know should be given explanations and information on how these risks can be prevented and/or controlled.

M1) Describe how health and safety legislation, policies and procedures promote of individuals in a health or social care setting

Changing circumstances within the workplace can cause hazards because other workers can be put at risk because they haven’t been made aware of the changes and management needs to be informed. Risk assessment is a method put in place that is suitable and sufficient to control the risk to health and safety to both employees and other persons who may be affected.

2.3 Explain the actions to take when health, safety and risk procedures and practises are not being complied with.

1.1- Describe how current health and safety legislation, policies and procedures are implemented in the setting.

Receiving effective information to allow the right information to assist with analyzing the risks involved. The effective information can be broken down in a work breakdown structure and tracked through a checklist. The tools and techniques that will assist in the accurate tracking and monitoring include an activity information checklist, interview methods that involve personnel with their direct work responsibilities. Additional techniques include studies conducted throughout the organization on processes and producers to include lessons learned from past projects. In analyzing risk there are two methods such as qualitative and quantitative risk analysis to assist in making the analysis process straightforward.

According Vermeulen, most new strategies are implemented. One of the chief reason for lack of implementation of these strategies is that ‘’ new strategies’’ are usually not strategies at all. A real strategy involves a clear set of choices which define what the organization is going to execute and those which isn’t going to execute. Therefore, most strategies are never put into actions despite the ample efforts of hard-working individuals since they doesn’t represent a set of clear choices (Vermeulen, 2017). To improve your strategy you must ensure that there is a clear communication of the strategy to the implementers who are the employees as well as all the people in the enterprise. Communicating your logic will be very important in answering some of the ‘’why’’ questions that your employees have. Answering such questions will help in persuading the employees that the new strategy is valuable. For effectiveness of the strategy, it should be issued from the top down and supported from the bottom up. This means that lower-level workers must be empowered so that they can think of their own initiatives to realize the

1 - Identify potential risks and hazards through reports of circumstances, incidents, accidents or weaknesses

1) Risk Assessment: This component involves procedures geared towards detecting, communicating, and for warning recovery team members and stakeholders. The process of detection is straightforward for the most part, as it involves detecting IT disasters. The process of warning involves alerting key team members involved with recovery that a disaster has occurred, and for

Section 5 talks about the great practice and requirement for a continuous risk assessment and evaluation and the elements that will prompt an effective risk management program

The third section consisted of information received on general injury/illness within the firms. Examples of these included, most frequent types of injury/illness within the line of work, most severe monetary injury/illness within in the line of work, prioritize based on frequency of injury/illness, and the frequency employees most likely to be injured/illness. The fourth section included the safety performances from the past three years pre-and-post SF programs. This information was measured primarily from the WMSD rates (WR), OSHA-recordable incident rate (TRIR), and lost-time case incident rate (LTCR). Moreover, the WMSDs included injuries such as muscles, tendons, joints, and nerves, which ultimately resulted in the loss of man-hours calculated for the number of WMSDs per 100 workers per 200,000 hours. Accordingly, TRIRs are described as a result of exposure or event at work that require certain medical treatment beyond first aid. As with LTCRs, they are incidents that result from exposures causing employees to be away from work. Together these rates are often calculated in the same manner as WR.

Summary of any potential and actual issues, including with respect to schedule, safety, environment, quality, cost, interfaces etc. And proposed remedial actions.

As usual on week eight, we show our progress to the lecturer. He was quite satisfied by our list risks, therefore we could move on to the risk quantification. Risk quantification has been done in-group and risk register work has been shared equally as homework. During the same week, right after the risk register completed, we started writing on the risk responses, monitoring plan and communication plan. After a challenging week, we finally show our work to the lecturer for reviewing during week nine classes.
