1.1 SELECTING A STANDARD RISK ASSESSMENT Standard risk assessments have been created for general onshore repetitive tasks.
Risk assessment clauses have been created for specific tasks which can be inserted into risk assessments.
Identify the activity to be undertaken and identify if a standard risk assessment has been created.
The revision of the risk assessment to be used is to be checked against the risk assessment index to ensure the most up to date version is used.
Any risk assessment received for approval that is not the correct revision will be rejected by the QHSE manager
If a standard risk assessment exists, then review to ensure it remains suitable and sufficient for the task to be undertaken.
If a pre-approved standard risk assessment is found suitable and sufficient after review for the task to be assessed, a copy is to be placed in the "project management" folder and made a tab on the relevant project channel within Teams.
If no changes are made to a standard risk assessment, then no approval is required as all standard risk assessments have been pre-approved by the QHSE manager.
Standard risk assessments are subject to a 3 monthly formal review however assessments remain under continual review and amendments to standard assessments will be made at any time if change is identified.
If any of the tasks identify the requirement to use any substances refer to the relevant CoSHH assessment.
If a CoSHH assessment is not available, please contact the QHSE manager.
