Module 2 – Knowledge Check

For a hazard to become a risk, a person or property needs to be exposed to the hazard.​

There are four levels of response to risks: low, moderate, high, and extreme.​

Near miss episodes don’t need to be recorded and assessed.​

PPE can be maintained by any member of staff.​

The hierarchy of control is the preferred order in which controls should be considered.​

Four commonly used items of PPE in construction include: safety glasses, ear muffs, hard hat, and high visibility vest/clothing.​

A Risk Assessment Matrix is the risk situation for each identified hazard being mapped against likelihood and severity.​

PPE in regular use at a workplace indicates the need to revisit risk management on a programmed basis.
