Risk Assessment Tool
Purpose
This Risk Assessment Tool should be used and adapted to undertake any risk assessment across University operations. The purpose of this tool is to provide the decision-maker with as much relevant risk information as is available to facilitate their decision.
The tool has been provided in a word format to enable you to type in information and to electronically transmit and save the document.
Refer to the Risk Management Procedure for instructions and guidance on how to use this Risk Assessment Tool . If you require assistance with reviewing your assessment, first speak with your colleagues or line supervisor.
A template Risk Register to compile risk assessment results across a particular discipline or area is also available on the Risk Intranet site .
If further assistance is needed, please contact a member of the Audit, Risk & Compliance Team who will be able to provide you with assistance.
Considerations When you are considering ‘risks’ it is important to think broadly around a range of topics that ma y be applicable both in terms of a risk but also as a potential consequence of a risk occurring. Some areas that you might wish to consider as part of your assessment are:
Financial Risks
• • • • • • •
Safety and Wellbeing Environmental Risks Foreign Interference
Privacy
Compliance
Security (Physical & ICT).
Identifying, Assessing and Evaluating the risks
Identify key risk issues that may result in adverse consequences or constrain the achievement of stated objectives for the project/activity using the following steps:
1. Provide summary of project/activity. 2. Break the project/activity down into a series of components (from start to finish) on separate lines. 3. Identify potential risks ( things that might ‘go wrong’ or hazards if undertaking a safety assessment) for each component. 4. Assess the inherent risk (before control measures) for each risk identified by: a. Evaluating the possible consequence of the hazard using the Consequence Scale (see below) b. Evaluate the likelihood of that consequence using the Likelihood Scale (see below) c. Determine rating of each risk using the University Risk Matrix. 5. Develop appropriate risk control measures to eliminate or reduce the risks. 6. Assess the residual risk (i.e. after control measures) once again by: a. Evaluating the possible consequences of the risk using the Consequence Scale (see below) b. Evaluate the likelihood of that consequence using the Likelihood Scale (see below) c. Determine rating of each risk using the University Risk Matrix.
7. Identify persons responsible for implementing and monitoring relevant components. 8. Determine highest remaining residual risk. 9. Determine if a Safe Work Procedure (SWP) is to be developed from the Risk Assessment. 10. Identify any Risk Appetite Statements that may be relevant for consideration as part of this assessment and comment whether you believe based on the identified residual risk ratings we are operating within appetite. 11. Seek delegation sign off in accordance with the University Schedule of Risk Delegations. 12. Ensure all persons involved in the activity have read, understand and sign the risk assessment before work starts.
