A risk analysis involves identification of undesired events, seeking out causes, consequences and assessing probability.
At the core of risk analysis are these 3 questions:
- What can go wrong?
- What can we do to prevent it?
- How can we reduce consequences when it happens?
Safe Job Analysis (SJA)
You can use the SJA method to assess the risk of a work task or activity. A SJA is a way of systematically reviewing a work task or activity, by dividing the task into smaller sub-tasks, and reviewing each sub-task to assess the risk associated with it. This makes it possible to introduce measures to reduce or eliminate the risk associated with each sub-task.
UiB has developed a simple template for this that can be used by both employees and students.
