This standard identifies the competences you need to meet the requirements necessary for accident risk analysis and assessment on engineering activities within your organisation. You will be responsible for analysing risks, assessing the extent of the risk and for ensuring that all relevant information is communicated and recorded in the appropriate information systems.

Your responsibilities will require you to comply with organisational policy and procedures for ensuring the successful analysis of risks, and to report any problems that you cannot personally resolve to the relevant authority. You will be expected to work unsupervised, either on your own or as part of a team, which you may lead or direct, taking full responsibility for your actions, and possibly for the work of colleagues or subordinates.

Your underpinning knowledge will provide a good understanding of organisational processes and procedures, including risk analysis and assessment. Your general and discipline-specific knowledge of engineering principles and processes will allow you to take an informed approach towards analysing the engineering activities, helping to resolve related problems and to make sound decisions.

You will be fully aware of any health, safety and environmental requirements applicable to your area of responsibility and will be conversant with legislative and regulatory frameworks. You will be required to ensure that safe working practices are maintained throughout, and will understand the responsibility you owe to yourself and others in the workplace.
