3.1.4.1.1
Risk Assessment (Emergency Planning)
Purpose: Risk assessment is a critical component of emergency planning, ensuring that all potential hazards are identified and evaluated. By assessing risks, the farm can develop effective strategies to mitigate those risks and prepare for emergencies, protecting workers, animals, and property.
Poor Outcome:
No risk assessment is conducted, leading to unpreparedness for emergencies and increased vulnerability to accidents, natural disasters, or equipment failures. The farm faces higher risks of injury, property damage, and operational downtime.
Expected Outcome:
A thorough risk assessment is conducted regularly, identifying potential hazards and guiding the development of emergency plans. This helps the farm mitigate risks and improve preparedness for various emergency scenarios.
Excellent Outcome:
The farm uses advanced risk assessment tools and techniques to predict potential hazards with high accuracy. Risks are continuously monitored, and emergency plans are adjusted accordingly, leading to a proactive safety culture with minimal risk of emergencies and fast recovery times.
