Consider hazards entering the organisation e.g supply of machinery, raw products etc, hazards generated thro' the work process e.g. noise, dust, fire etc and those hazards leaving the organisation e.g. storage, transport, product safety information etc.In order to apply risk control systems (RCS) to these hazards, they should initially be subject to some form of assessment e.g. noise monitoring, specific risk assessment, job hazard analysis etc, in order to understand the level of risk associated with these hazards.

When collating the various risk levels, one should be able to compare risks associated with each hazard, against the others, in order to establish a risk profile. Very simply put, the hazards that pose the most significant risk should receive immediate attention, as opposed to those hazards which pose insignificant risks. This process assists in the creation of a prioritised risk control requirement.

These (health and safety) activities could then be implemented according to the priority it has been given (according to risk). Health and safety activities are examples of RCS applied to reduce the level of risk to an acceptable level. These are very much determined by the organisation's commitment to health and safety. In order to add value to your answer you could discuss the NEBOSH 'ERIC-PD' theoretical hierarchy of risk control.

The best way to this one is by a table/ chart with columns

It good to look at and stops you from repeating yourself on an assignment as i did
