Connect Hazards to Risk Assessment
Explanation
This activity is used to specify the hazards that should be evaluated during
the risk assessment.
Prerequisites
In order to perform this activity:
- Potential hazards are required to be already
defined in the Risk Assessment Basic Data/Hazards
tab.
- Locations and sub-locations are required to be already defined in the
Location Basic Data window.
- Descriptions and values of frequency, severity and probability of risk
are required to be already defined in the Risk Potential Basic Data
window.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, the hazards you create will be updated on the
Hazards navigator.

Procedure
- Open the Risk
Assessment window.
- Search or populate to find the required risk assessment.
- Go to the Risk Assessment/Hazards tab
and create a new record.
- Specify the hazard in the Hazard field. You can select a value
using the list.
To calculate the risk potential for each hazard;
- In the Probability field, select the description of the risk
likelihood from the list of values. The corresponding probability value
shows in the Probability Value field.
- In the Frequency field, select the option specifying the
frequency of risk occurrence from the value list. The corresponding frequency
value shows in the Frequency Value field.
- In the Severity field, select the description for the severity of
risk from the list of values. The corresponding severity value shows in the
Severity Value
field.
- Save the information. Note that the risk potential is calculated from
all values in the risk calculator and
shown in the Risk Potential field.
