Risk identification and assessment
As part of the fleet safety management review, a full and comprehensive hazard identification and risk assessment needs to be carried out and should be reviewed at least annually. This assessment should be conducted by suitably experienced and qualified members of staff.
It should cover all aspects of fleet and driving for work activities and operations, including transport of personnel, material and goods. It should also include subcontracted transport and outsourced transport on behalf of the organisation where applicable.
The risk assessment information gathered from the review and evaluation needs to be documented to demonstrate that:
- All known and foreseeable risks associated with fleet and driving activities have been identified.
- The likelihood and consequences of the risks have been assessed.
- Controls to mitigate significant risks are in place.
An example of a Business Risk Assessment Tool can be downloaded below. It includes a program to assist in the execution of risk assessments as well as monitor the implementation of risk control or mitigation measures.
The Business Risk Assessment Tool was developed based on an example of Save the Children.
