    Activity 1: Assessing risks in undertaking cargo transfer

    Arrange with your supervisor or trainer to work with an experienced

    team member to transfer cargo. Undertake a risk assessment ofthe activity. Discuss the team member and your supervisor ortrainer what the risks might be and the likelihood and consequence,before and after controls are put in place.

    List the main risks that you can identify, (estimate) likelihood andconsequences and propose control measures for these risks.

    Use the space below for this activity. One suggested risk has beenincluded as a guide.

    Key to risks before control put in place:(Ranked in order of consequence and then likelihood)

    L = likelihood 1 = very unlikely2 = possible3 = some occurrences4 = happen on a regular5 = certain to happen regularly

    C = consequence 1 = minor cut or bruise2 = minor attention required

    3 = attention required/off work for day or two4 = serious injury, hospitalisation5 = death, major catastrophe

    Activity 2: PPE

    Discuss with you supervisor, trainer and fellow team members what

    types of cargo you will be transferring. Enquire about anydangerous goods transferred. Make a list of PPE required foreveryday work and when transferring specialised cargoes. Sixexamples are required.
