7. Risk management

 

Section 11 of the MHSA requires the employer to identify hazards, assess the health and safety risks to which employees may be exposed while they are at work, record the significant hazards identified and risks assessed. Other related COPs must address how the significant risks identified in the risk assessment process must be dealt with, having regard to the requirements of section 11(2) and 11(3) that, as far as reasonably practicable, attempts should first be made to eliminate the risk, thereafter to control the risk at source, thereafter to minimise the risk and thereafter, insofar as the risk remains, provide personal protective equipment and to institute a programme to monitor the risk. Where despite these controls a significant imminent risk arises, employees may need to exercise the RRDW or the RLDWP.
