Last Minute Risk Assessment (LMRA) Toolkit – International Edition

Description

Conditions at the workplace can change between planning a task and actually starting the work. Equipment may be moved, weather can deteriorate, other contractors may enter the area or an important control measure may be missing.

The Last Minute Risk Assessment (LMRA) Toolkit provides organisations with a structured and practical method for checking these conditions immediately before work begins.

This professional 15-page toolkit goes far beyond a basic LMRA checklist. It combines an operational procedure, ready-to-use forms, guidance, training materials and assurance tools in one fully editable Microsoft Word document.

What is included?

The toolkit contains:

• A comprehensive LMRA procedure
• Purpose, scope and responsibilities
• Clear stop-work and escalation criteria
• The five-step STOP–LOOK–ASSESS–CONTROL–CONFIRM method
• Guidance on applying the hierarchy of controls
• An optional 4 × 4 risk matrix
• Task and work-location information forms
• A 36-question LMRA verification checklist
• Checks covering people, competence, permits and communication
• Checks covering workplace conditions, energy isolation and equipment
• Checks for work at height, lifting, chemicals, hazardous areas and traffic
• Emergency preparedness and environmental checks
• A hazard and control registration form
• Critical-control verification fields
• Final proceed, proceed-with-controls or do-not-proceed decision
• Change and reassessment log
• Shift-handover and task-closeout records
• A completed worked example involving maintenance on a chemical transfer pump
• Implementation and customisation guidance
• LMRA training and toolbox-talk attendance record
• Supervisor quality-sampling form
• Printable pocket LMRA card

 

Suitable for international use

The toolkit has been developed for international application and can be adapted for different industries, countries and organisational requirements. It can be used in sectors including:

• Chemical and process industries
• Warehousing and logistics
• Dangerous-goods operations
• Construction and engineering
• Maintenance and technical services
• Laboratories and production facilities
• Terminals and loading locations
• Utilities, workshops and field operations

The document can be used by employees, contractors, temporary workers, supervisors, safety professionals and managers.

 

Fully editable Word document

The LMRA Toolkit is supplied as a fully editable Microsoft Word document. Organisations can add their own logo, company information, emergency numbers, approval requirements and task-specific critical controls.

The forms can be printed, completed digitally or incorporated into an existing permit-to-work or safety-management system.

Important

An LMRA is a final workplace verification and does not replace a formal risk assessment, Job Safety Analysis, Task Risk Assessment, RAMS, permit-to-work, isolation procedure, lift plan, rescue plan or other legally required documentation.

The purchaser is responsible for reviewing and adapting the toolkit to applicable national legislation, client requirements and workplace conditions.
