You should aim to complete this section in 100 - 200 words.
Note: this section can be completed after you have competed your risk assessment.
Outline how the risk assessment was carried I Have Considered Several Information Sources to Complete my risk assessment;
out this should include:
• sources of information consulted; External Sources:
• who you spoke to; and • ILO – Convention -167 Construction Safety.
• how you identified: • ILO – Convention -155 Occupational Health and Safety.
- the hazards; • ILO – Recommendation -164 Occupational Health and Safety.
- what is already being done; and • Manufacturer’s instructions.
- any additional controls/actions that • HSE UK Guidelines.
may be required. • Osha Construction safety Standards.

Internal Sources:
While consulting internal sources I have Planned to visit that Construction Site.
During that Visit I have Seen Many Unsafe Conditions and Acts, I Have talked with the workers
and their Representatives who were Operationally Involved in Work Activities, I observed that
they don’t known about hazards and risks present on site and Most of them were not wearing
PPE Given to them, cutting corners of safety standards Secondly, I Met with Supervisor and
Considered Formal HSE Documents, Such as, Previous Construction Risk assessments,
accidents and Near Miss reports, medical records, absence records Staff Turnover Records,
Observation Reports etc. which helped me to understand current present controls against
hazards.
I have Identified Hazards and Existing Control Measures During Site Visit and documents Review
and Suggested Further Controls on the basis of Realistic risk level and mostly used External
Sources i.e. International Standards HSE UK, ILO etc.

Part 4: Review, communicate and check

Suggested word counts for each section:
• Planned review date or period and reasoning for this: 50 - 100 words
• How the risk assessment findings will be communicated and who needs to know the information: 100 - 150 words
• Follow up on the risk assessment: 100 - 150 words.
Planned review date/period with As per Client Company Requirement to Conduct Regular Review of Risk Assessment in every 06
reasoning months, I there for set the review date as 10/01/2025; Other Circumstances of review are
depending on workplace change, material or equipment change, after any incident, while
consultation, when auditor require etc.
How the risk assessment findings will be The Findings of Risk Assessment will Be Communicated by different communication methods with
communicated AND who you need to tell Everyone Including Workers, Management, Visitors and Public. Firstly I will go to the Under
Construction Area and will discuss the findings in tool box talk With the Workers. Then I will Install
Hazard / Precautions Signage on site For Graphical Communication with a Wide Level of Audience.
Moreover Risk assessment findings will be communicated with the Management by circulating the
risk assessment in Weekly Safety Meeting With the Responsible Persons. Further the summery will
be posted on the Site notice boards, Office area, Workers Rest Rooms etc. The finding and
Corrective Actions will also be discussed in Monthly Trainings and seminars through video and
Pictures, further the Findings Will be Communicated on Daily Basis Through Public Announcement
System Before Starting the Work.
How you will follow up on the risk I will set a time table to check the Implementation of Corrective Actions. After 3 Working Days, I will
