Preparing for the five steps

Before approaching the five steps it is important to consider the context in which the risk management process takes place.

Defining the context involves identifying:

work processes, practices, activities and tasks that will be analysed in the risk management process and the steps involved;
how risks may interact with one another - one activitity may effect to risks in another
the people involved in carrying out those work processes and in what capacity;
whether the people involved are sufficiently competent/skilled/experienced; and
what items of plant or materials are used.

Achieving this requires extensive consultation, including all the people doing the task, employers, safety officers and experts. It could also extend to suppliers or manufacturers of plant or materials used in your workplace.
