d) Allocate each hazard a 'risk rating' by multiplying the 2 values allocated in the previous step. Is the risk 'minor', 'medium' or 'high'? If the risk is medium or high, control measures may be required. |
e) What precautions or 'control measures' can be taken to reduce the risk? If necessary make a note of what further action is required - by whom and by when.
