== Risk assessment for use of PCB Mill. ==

=== Hazards. ===

* 1) Hair or clothes snagging in the cutting tool .
* 2) Chips in the eyes .
* 3) Fingers trapped in the mechanism.
* 4) Broken cutting tool impact.

=== Persons at risk. ===
* Operator.
* Persons nearby.

=== Initial assessment of risk. ===
{| class="wikitable"
| Hazard identified || Severity || Probability || Risk Factor
|-
| Snagging in cutting tool || style="text-align:right;" | 3 || style="text-align:right;" | 2 || style="text-align:right;" | 6

|}

=== Control measures. ===
* Users will be required to attend training to learn how to use the tool safely.
* Safety glasses will be worn.
* Hold work piece correctly.

=== Final assessment of risk ===

=== Points system ===

{| class="wikitable"
| Hazard severity || Points Rating || Definition
|-
| Nil || 1 || Very minor injury, bruise, graze, no risk of disease.
|-
| Slight || 2 || Minor injury, which would allow the individual to continue work after first aid treatment on site or at a local surgery. The duration of the stoppage or treatment is such that the normal flow of work is not seriously interrupted.
|-
| Moderate || 3 || Temporary disability causing injury or disease capable of keeping an individual off work for three days or more and reportable under RIDDOR
|-
| High || 4 || Causing death, serious injury or permanent disability to an individual.

|-
| Very high || 5 || Causing multiple deaths and widespread destruction eg. fire, building collapse.
|}

{| class="wikitable"
| Hazard likelihood || Points Rating || Definition
|-
| Remote possibility || 1 || There is really no risk present. Only under freak conditions could there be any possibility of an accident or illness. All reasonable precautions have been taken - This should be the normal state of the workplace.
|-
| Unlikely || 2 || This incident or illness might occur but the probability is low and the risk minimal.
|-
| Possible || 3 || The accident may occur if additional factors precipitate it, but it is unlikely to happen without them.
|-
| Highly likely || 4 || Will happen more often than not. Additional factors could precipitate an incident but it is still likely to happen without this additional factor.
|-
| Inevitable || 5 || If the work continues as it is, there is almost 100% certainty that an accident will happen, for example:
A broken stair or broken rung on a ladder
Bare, exposed electrical conductors
Unstable stacks of heavy boxes
|}

{| class="wikitable"
| Risk Rating Score || Definition || Action
|-
| 1 to 4 || Low || No action required
|-
| 5 to 9 || Moderate || Reduce risks if reasonably practicable
|-
| 10 to 15 || High Risk || Priority action to be undertaken
|-
| 16 to 25 || Unacceptable || Action must be taken IMMEDIATELY
