The intention of the project is to confirm that you understand
the risk assessment process. Risk assessments must be capable of communicating
the particulars relating to the problems faced in your workplace.
You could test whether your project achieves this by getting
someone who hasn’t been involved in your assessment to read it and confirm to
you that their understanding aligns with your intended meaning.
Here’s an example of a location hazard along with some pointers
on common mistakes:
Description of the location
The directors desk is situated in front of a south facing window

Most common mistakes
The description needs to be in relation to the hazard. There are many ways that we could describe the director’s desk such as the director has a mahogany executive desk. Irrelevant! Although this may be true unless the colour of the desk causes a problem its inclusion here is not required.

Most common mistakes
One word answers and lists of consequences are the most common problems here. A hazard cannot be describe in a single word and a consequence is not the same thing as a hazard.
