A risk assessment methodology should consider all risk factors including unexpected parameters. The methodology needs to answer the following basic questions:

  • Want do we know? What is the risk?
  • Do we have an incident waiting to happen?
  • What action can we take?
  • What can go wrong? What are the potential consequences?
  • How likely is it to happen?
  • What is the chain of events which could lead to harm?
  • Can we tolerate the potential consequences at the estimated likelihood?
  • What are the benefits and costs of alternative technologies?

 

For the purpose of this standard risk assessment comprises in principle five steps including the determination of intended use:

  • Determination of intended use (Functional/State-Analysis)
  • Identification of hazardous situations and hazardous events
  • Risk estimation of consequences / likelihood
  • Risk evaluation
  • Risk reduction option analyses

 

Risk assessment should follow the step-approach in that order of preference given.

The first three steps of risk assessment (determination, identification, estimation) are often referred to collectively as risk analyses.

Risk analysis is an iterative process. If, after risk has been evaluated, the decision is made that the risk needs to be reduced it is necessary to re-estimate the risk. A decision can then be made as to whether the measures taken have reduced the risk to an acceptable level. It is also essential to check that the measures used to reduce risk have not themselves introduced any new hazards. Therefore a feedback loop from Risk Reduction Option Analyses to Hazard Identification has to be made.
