bizSAFE Risk Management and RMIT Process

Question 1

What does RMIT stand for in the context of Singapore's BizSAFE and WSH risk management framework?

Accepted Answer

Risk Management Implementation Team

Answer

RMIT stands for Risk Management Implementation Team. Under BizSAFE, an RMIT is a team formed within a company to lead and implement the Risk Management process, typically as part of achieving BizSAFE Level 2.

Question 2

What are the four steps in Singapore's WSH risk management process?

Accepted Answer

Hazard identification, Risk evaluation, Risk control, Review

Answer

The Singapore WSH risk management process follows four steps: (1) Hazard Identification — finding hazards; (2) Risk Evaluation — assessing likelihood and severity; (3) Risk Control — implementing controls; and (4) Review — ensuring controls remain effective.

Question 3

In the hierarchy of risk controls under WSH risk management, which control measure is the most effective?

Accepted Answer

Elimination of the hazard

Answer

Elimination — completely removing the hazard — is the most effective control measure. It provides the highest level of protection because it removes the source of risk entirely rather than managing it.

Question 4

What is 'residual risk' in the context of WSH risk management?

Accepted Answer

The remaining level of risk after all control measures have been implemented

Answer

Residual risk is the risk that remains after all practicable control measures have been put in place. It is important to assess and document residual risk to determine whether additional controls are needed or whether the remaining risk is acceptable.

Question 5

When must a risk assessment be reviewed under the WSH (Risk Management) Regulations in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

When there is a change in work processes, after an accident, or at least once every 3 years

Answer

Under the WSH (Risk Management) Regulations, risk assessments must be reviewed when there are changes to work processes or conditions, after an accident or dangerous occurrence, or at minimum every 3 years even without changes.
