New employee safety expectation assessment

Each approach to profiling a job s safety risk will provide a unique perspective. Furthermore, collectively the data from these assessments will reflect a job s safety risk profile. Chapter 3 discusses how information on a job s safety risks should be included in a job description document (see Fig. 3.1). For any specific job, the safety risk profile assessment can show a range from a normal and expected safety risk level, through to an extreme and unexpected safety risk. That is, while an organization may think that its management systems are controlling a job s safety risks to a normal and expected level, reality maybe very different. Of course, it would be particularly risky to bring a new employee into a job that has safety risks beyond the normal and expected level.
