Here are some typical examples, but please note that FEL is asking you for your own assessment of your own business.
EXAMPLES OVERLEAF / There is no need to list individuals by name – but you must think about groups of people doing similar work, activities, or who may be affected by the Hazard that you have identified.
EXAMPLES OVERLEAF / For those Hazards that you have already identified and which you already control in some way, please list, for each Hazard, the measures that you already apply (and will apply at this Event).
What makes the hazard less risky?
What makes the controls effective?
EXAMPLES OVERLEAF / For the hazards listed, do the precautions already taken control the risk satisfactorily, or is there some further measure that you need to take?
