We have three types of risk assessment and that is:
1.Baseline risk assessment:
- The purpose of conducting a baseline HIRA is to establish a risk profile. It is performed to obtain a benchmark of the types and sizes of potential hazards, which could have a significant impact on the whole organisation.
2.Issue-based risk assessment:
- The purpose of an issue-based HIRA is to conduct a detailed assessment study that will result in the development of action plans for the treatment of significant risks. It focuses on the identification of the risks within a certain task, process or activity and is usually associated with change management.
3.Continuous risk assessment:
The purpose of conducting continuous HIRA is to identify hazards and risks with the purpose of immediately treating them. It is also to gather information for feed back on the issue-based and baseline HIRA.
