Prepare high-risk work properly
A task risk analysis (TRA) identifies the steps, hazards and controls for a specific task. It is particularly useful for high-risk, non-routine or modified work whose risks are not described in sufficient detail in the general RI&E.
A TRA complements the RI&E and its action plan; it does not replace these statutory instruments.
What do we assess?
- the work sequence and critical task steps;
- the workplace, surroundings and access;
- machinery, tools, materials and hazardous substances;
- energy sources, pressure, lifting operations, work at height and confined spaces;
- physical workload, noise, climate and other working conditions;
- interfaces between disciplines, simultaneous operations and time pressure;
- required instruction, authorisation, supervision and emergency measures.
From analysis to clear working arrangements
Where possible, we involve the people who prepare and perform the work. Findings are translated into practical controls, responsibilities and clear instructions. Immediately before work starts, conditions should still be checked against the analysis and additional controls introduced where necessary.
Dutch occupational safety law does not impose a general TRA requirement for every task. A TRA may nevertheless be required by a sector catalogue, contract, client requirement or your own safety management system.
