Introduction

The purpose of this report is to adapt risk management plans for four different workplace environments.

The aim of this report is to raise awareness about the workplace health and safety issues, identify hazards and offer recommendations on eradicating or condensing these hazards.

The risk assessment and control implementation came from studies of OCHS Intro Health and Safety Risk Management and prior knowledge.
