Step 5 – The next section of creating the risk assessment is the hazards. This is where you will select the hazards that are associated with the risk. You can select multiple hazards (the description of which can be edited) from the provided library or create your own (see step 6).

Step 6 – If the hazard you’re looking for isn’t in the library provided you can add your own hazards by using the green “Add new Hazard” button. You will then be asked to enter a description of the hazard, the consequences involved with it and the control measures. You can also then add an icon to the hazard that suits it best, this option also appears if you wish to edit an existing hazard.
