Health Risk Assessment (HRA)
HRA is the primary method for classification of the level of occupational health risk and setting of control implementation priorities of the project.
HRA will follow a systematic identification of health hazards in the workplace and subsequent evaluation of health risks. This process will take existing control measures into account and identify and recommend further preventive or control actions where appropriate.
The aim of HRA is to:
- Identify and create an inventory of agents potentially hazardous to health
- Evaluate (assess) the risk to health associated with exposure to these agents against specified screening criteria
- Decide on the control measures required, if any, to remove or reduce the risk to health to a level as low as reasonably practicable. Consider any emergency (recovery) measures needed to mitigate acute and/or chronic health effects, should control measures fail
