Determine how likely it is that each hazard will occur and how severe the consequences would be.
The first step to start risk assessment for any activity or situation or process is to identify the health and safety hazards that are associated with that activity. At this stage the significance of the hazard is not considered only we need to find out whether this hazard exists or not specific to that activity.
