The hazard identification & risk assessment procedure helps your company establish, implement, and maintain documented processes for the continuous identification of hazards and assessing risks attached. From these processes' outputs, the appropriate control measures can be implemented.

This risk management framework will define your company's current risk management processes and methodologies, training methods, reporting procedures, hazard identification procedures, risk assessments, risk appetites, and determining controls. Let’s look at the procedure for ISO 45001 clause 6.1.2 closer.
The purpose of the procedure is to establish, implement and maintain the documented procedures for the ongoing identification of all hazards, the assessments of risks, and the establishment of the necessary measures of control.

ISO 45001 sets the tone and international procedures for any company that wishes to carry their certification. The ISO 45001 manual can be used as the guideline to set up your company’s own Occupational Health and Safety System.
The scope of Actions to Address Risks and Opportunities applies to your company's Environmental, Health and Safety system, including all activities, products, services, and processes covered under it.
The duties and responsibilities confined in the company's Health and Safety System for hazard identification and risk assessments will be on the Health and Safety Manager and the Cross-Functional Team members.
In order to quantify risk and identify hazards, a clear definition of each word needs to be documented in your company’s OH&S system.
The procedure was designed for hazard identification and risk assessment. Included in that should be the applicable methods of control, the definitions, responsibilities, and the suitability of control. Hazard identification needs to be done regularly for a risk assessment to be effective.

Typically the responsibility of the risk assessment and hazard identification falls with the Health and Safety Manager. They work closely with a Cross-Functional Team that helps to execute the company’s OH&S.
Points for consideration under the Risk Assessment process would typically include;
Doing regular risk assessments will keep the possibility of injury and loss to a controllable level. A full risk assessment should be conducted at least twice a year, and regular audits should follow.
Utilizing the help of the Cross-Functional Team, a physical site visit where identification of possible exposure, loss, task observations, and new processes should form part of the risk assessment.
Using the Hazard Identification and the rate of possible frequency these hazards may occur, the risk assessment is based on the probable and likely consequences of these hazards to the company, personnel, the environment, and citizens.
Upon the Risk Assessment being completed, the risk consequences resulting from that need to be recorded.
In many ways, risk-based thinking helps to highlight and add to many of the benefits that a good Occupational Health & Safety system will bring to an organization. These benefits include:
By adopting a risk-based approach, an organization can increase the effect of those benefits while also increasing their frequency.
The ISO 45001 guidelines require that all identified risks need to have a documented response protocol in place. These responses need to form part of your OH&S Management System. They need to be audited, reviewed, and regularly updated to stay relevant.
