D29.1 Identify hazards and assess risks
Performance Criteria - this involves being able to...(a) undertake organisational risk management processes
(b) review and interpret information relating to potential hazards
(c) identify the hazards arising from construction products and processes that need to be assessed
(d) obtain accurate information on any factors relating to the hazards
(e) identify the significance of the hazards
(f) assess the significant hazards to identify the residual risks and apply the principles of prevention and protection
(g) check that resulting information on significant residual risks is provided to the appropriate people / The Range...
