  • Q7
    What is 'preventive' control measures?
    Control measures that reduces the likelihood of harm

  • Q8
    What is 'mitigative' control measures?
    Control measures that reduces the likelihood of harm
    Control measures that reduces the severity of harm
    Control measures that is effective

  • Q9

    To decide which likelihood level to use
    To make the risk assessment more fun
    To find the level of a risk (or risk score) by matching likelihood level and severity level
    To decide which level of severity to use

  • Q14
    What do we do after risk level has been identified?
    Do nothing
    Document it and store it away
    Submit to the government
    Decide which risk to focus on

  • Q15

    As a result of a risk assessment,  a work activity is deemed to have a 'extremely high risk level/score' on a particular hazard context. So what next?

    The work should not start (or start again) until the hazard in question being put under control.

    File the risk assessment and proceed with said work

    Ask somebody else to do the risk assessment (one who do not know about the work being done).

    Adjust the risk assessment so that the risk level/score can be reduced to medium or low
