Adg - Take 5 - Risk Assessment Procedure
Background
Current Work Health & Safety (WHS) legislation requires the identification of potential hazards,
the assessment of risk of the hazard and the development of controls to eliminate or minimise
the risk in the workplace.
When working on Airport Development Group (ADG) work sites this can be achieved by using
the following control measures:
• SWMS
• Task-based risk assessment (Take 5 – this procedure)
Scope
This procedure applies to all ADG staff and contractors that may conduct work activities with
the potential to cause harm or damage on ADG sites. This procedure or an equivalent method
of task-based risk assessment must also be conducted by all ADG stakeholders.
ADG may from time to time ask their stakeholders to demonstrate how they are meeting the
intent of this procedure for their work activity with the potential to cause harm or damage.
