Environmental Health Unit IV Project

Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment Project

Be sure to read all of the instructions. There are two documents to be prepared and submitted.

1. Following steps 1-11 of the Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment Guide in the course textbook (pp. 171-174),

develop a risk assessment for a serious workplace hazard with which you are familiar, or use Addendum D to

Chapter 11 (pp. 202-206) to help you select a hazard. Evaluate the hazard and its associated risks, and then

complete the Hazard Analysis and Risk Analysis Project form (click here to access this form). To complete the

Initial Risk Assessment and Post Control Risk Assessment sections, use the following codes based on the Risk

Assessment Matrix in Table 11.10 (p.180) of the textbook:

SEVERITY:

1 – Catastrophic

2 – Critical

3 – Marginal

4 – Negligible

PROBABILITY (Likelihood of Occurrence):

A – Frequent

B – Probable

C – Occasional

D – Remote

E – Improbable

RISK CODE:

H – High

S – Serious

M – Medium

L – Low

All sections of the form must be completed. Note that the “Post Control Risk Assessment Measures” section

reflects the risk assessment AFTER applying the additional control measures.

2. In a separate document of at least 500 words, explain the reasoning behind how you filled out each section of the

form. Use references as needed to support the discussion.

Upload both the completed form and the discussion document. Be sure that the discussion document is in APA format

with a title page and a reference page.
