Step 2: Decide who could be harmed and how

For each hazard you need to be clear about what group of workers could be harmed; it will help you identify the best way of managing the risk. Remember:

·         Some workers have particular requirements, for example new and young workers, migrant workers, ^[1][new or expectant mothers^[3] and people with disabilities^[4] could be at particular risk.

·         cleaners, visitors, contractors, maintenance workers etc, who may not be in the workplace all the time;

·         members of the public, if they could be hurt by your activities;

In each case, identify how they could be harmed, for example,  what type of injury could occur.
