Risk Assessment Example

This document summarizes the risks associated with flour and sugar sifters and gantry work. It identifies 7 hazards including falling, falling objects, manual handling, electricity, noise, compressed air, and substances/materials. For each hazard, it lists existing controls and determines if the risks are adequately controlled. The overall risk of the task is determined to be medium, requiring use of standard operating procedures but no further immediate action. An action plan is referenced to address any needed preventative, corrective, or additional control measures.
