Task Risk Analysis

A critical task is one that can result in serious injury, illness, damage to property and environmental damage (loss) if it is not performed properly. 

As Peter Drucker says: ‘We undermanage work and overmanage workers’.

Aim of the Task Risk Analysis

A Task Risk Analysis (TRA) is carried out on routine tasks (maintenance, operation, cleaning) as well as non-routine tasks (unexpected failures, abnormalities). If the TRA is performed properly, it can also reveal production or quality control inefficiencies. For this reason, an efficiency check is carried out on all tasks. The main aim of the TRA is to increase safety. In addition, cost savings can be achieved by reducing production and quality losses.

Effects of the Task Risk Analysis

The following advantages can be obtained by carrying out a proper Task Risk Analysis (TRA):

  • it makes work simpler and safer
  • it ensures less waste of time, space, energy and materials
  • it increases quality and productivity
  • it improves the use of machines and tools
  • it ensures the best possible use of employees’ knowledge and skills

Task Risk Analysis training course

D&F offers a Task Risk Analysis training course for people who will be coordinating the TRAs. This could be someone from the technical department, or a safety expert or health and safety officer. This person subsequently trains employees on the shop floor and involves them in the carrying out of the TRAs. 

We usually give an in-company Task Risk Analysis training course, which is handy if a number of people at your company have the same training needs. Click here for more information.
