Hazards / Comment I Detail
Identify describe the nature of all significant hazards associated with the fieldwork how harm could occur I harmful effect of the hazard identified. / Measures to prevent or minimize risk
Identify the key control measures,
proportionate to level of risk (i.e. likelihood + seriousness of harm occurring), needed to reduce risks to a low & acceptable level. / Residual Risk

Health
Accidents, incidents and injuries including sudden illness / ·  Be aware of first aid facilities and trained first aiders
·  If you have a medical condition that may require assistance advise someone on arrival.
Transport / ·  Individuals should refrain from driving immediately following any long haul flight.

Appendix 1: Guide to Risk Level Rating

Field / Rating / Score / Description
Severity
of Harm / High (H) / 3 / Hazard capable of resulting in death, severe injury or illness, or major loss to equipment or buildings.
Moderate (M) / 2 / Hazard capable of resulting in injury or illness requiring absence work, or equipment damage.
Low (L) / 1 / Hazard capable of resulting in minor injury requiring first aid, or inconsequential loss.
Likelihood / High (H) / 3 / Likely to occur imminently-hazard exists permanently
Moderate (M) / 2 / Likely to occur in time-hazards exists intermittently and there is a low expectation of occurrence
Low (L) / 1 / May occur in time-hazards exists infrequently and there is a low expectation of occurrence
None (N) / 0 / Hazard removed completely or effect of possible hazard made impossible by design (applies only to residual risk).
Final Risk
Rating / High (H) / 6,9 / Priority risk. Must be reduced to a level that is acceptable through practical and effective control measures.
Moderate (M) / 3,4 / Lesser priority risk. Should be assessed to see if further control measures can be applied to reduce to low risk.
Low (L) / 0,1,2 / No further action is required.
