It is important for the person conducting the risk management process to remain as objective and practical as possible. The person conducting the process should:

• consider what actually happens in the workplace;
  
• review existing assessments and any previous incidents;
  
• determine whether any existing control measures are adequate and make sure all relevant hazards are addressed;

•  consult with the workers who are involved, as the workers are the ones exposed to the risks and are in a better position to be able to identify all the hazards;
•  inform management (if the person is not management) who then decides on the control measures in consultation with the workers; and
•  monitor and review the effectiveness of the implemented control measures and the entire risk management process
