Dear Cove
I searched through the threads and sure this has been covered in some form but couldn't find it.
We are developing our H&S management system to OHS&S 18001 for international launch, and following a gap analysis of the system i noted that we do not prioritize identified risk - we simply outline the control and the timeline for the corrective action.
We have 2 options -
The matrix approach scoring risk based on likelihood and severity then grading it low, medium and high (with associated guidelines for control actions and timelines).
A line in the procedure, and within training that states 'mitigating actions borne of risk assessments consider the risk (its severity and its likelihood) and provide for it accordingly, primarily through the deadline for corrective action'.
Each have their pros and cons but as we are a simple office set up with standard hazards across the world (no extraordinary hazards identified) I think the second option is the most effective.
Please can you consider and let me know what you think?
