Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1 Identify hazards and assess risk associated with a product or system of work

1.1 Map production processes of the product or system of work

1.2 Identify hazards at each stage of the production processes

1.3 Systematically analyse hazards to identify risk of injury, illness or damage arising from the hazard

1.4 Identify factors contributing to the risk

1.5 Assess and evaluate the product or system of work against requirements of relevant work health and safety legislation, standards, codes of practice/compliance codes or guidance material

1.6 Consult potential users of the product or system of work

2 Control the risk of a product or system of work

2.1 Develop risk controls based on the hierarchy of control

2.2 Design fail-safe action into the product or system of work where there is a high consequence work health and safety risk, to minimise the impact of possible failure or defect

2.3 Monitor product or work system development as it evolves to identify new hazards and to manage any developing risk

2.4 Use a risk register to document residual risk and recommend actions to minimise risk

2.5 Communicate the risk management process and resultant risk register to those who may use or interact with the product or system of work

2.6 Document hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control processes, and make available to those who may be affected

3 Identify and record hazards and assess risks in own work

3.1 Identify and access sources of work health and safety information

3.2 Identify and eliminate hazards, and report residual risk according to workplace procedures

3.3 Use a risk register to document residual risk and actions to minimise risk, based on the hierarchy of control

4 Control risk in own work

4.1 Check work practices follow documented work procedures

4.2 Ensure work planning and conduct takes account of residual risk register

4.3 Identify, address and/or report deficiencies in risk controls

4.4 Maintain work health and safety records as required
