Risk Level Management Action

HIGH  Immediately inform management
 Communicate the risk to relevant work group members
 Take immediate action to reduce the risk to acceptable level
 Undertake further analysis of risks, if required
 Stop work until the risk is not reduced to acceptable level
MEDIUM  Inform relevant manager or supervisor
 Communicate the risk to relevant workgroup members
 Take action to reduce the risk to acceptable level before commencing work
 Monitor the risk to ensure that it does not transform to a higher level

LOW  Communicate the risk to relevant workgroup members

 Monitor the risk to ensure that it does not transform to a higher risk

Likelihood Description
Almost Certain Often occurred within the company in similar situation or condition
Highly Likely Often occurred within the industry and sometimes occurred within the company in similar situation or condition

Likely Sometimes occurred within the industry in similar situation or condition

Unlikely Sometimes occurred in other industries but rarely occurred in the construction industry in similar situation or condition
Highly Unlikely Never occurred in the industry or within the company in similar situation or condition

Consequence - The nature and severity of the harm that can be caused by a hazard
Likelihood - The possibility or probability of the hazard to cause the harm
Risk - A combination of the consequence (C) and likelihood (L) (R = C x L)
Existing Control - Any risk control measure already in place at the time of hazard identification and risk Assessment
Residual Risk - The level of risk exposure after the implementation of risk control measures (R’ = C’ x L’)

 ing the activity all staff must be aware of the FEEP for that activity. In the event of an injury during this task the HSE Officer shall ensure that first aid treatment is available for the activity. The casualty shall be treated at the scene in
the first instance. Should further treatment be required the closest vehicle to the scene of the incident shall be deemed the FEEP vehicle to take the injured to the QBEC clinic for further treatment.
 In the unlikely event that somebody is struck by debris or the trencher itself the casualty shall not be moved at all unless there is an immediate threat to life by the location they are in or by the nature of the injuries sustained. QBEC emergency

 In the event of a fire during the activity then the fire extinguishers at the scene should be used to tackle the blaze if possible, all un required staff should be evacuated from the location to a pre agreed location at the start of the activity.
 Civil Defense fire service should be called immediately to assist. All engines and electrical sources should be switched off and isolated.
 During in any FEEP all other activities in the area shall immediately be stopped until advised otherwise by the Senior Staff at the scene.
 Once the FEEP has been activated and the immediate threat is controlled the Project Management must be informed of the incident or accident.
 The scene should be sealed, either by staff or barriers if possible to ensure that his area remains the same for photographs and other investigation steps that may be required. Depending on the nature and severity of the incident the Police may
be required to attend the scene and to carry out their own investigation.
 For investigation purposes all people who were involved in the activity are to identify themselves to the HSE Officer to assist in the investigation.
 All staff involved in the activity must be aware of this FEEP prior to the start of work.
