RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk management is the process of finding out what may cause an injury, deciding what may happen as a
result, and doing something about it.
The steps of risk management are:
• Identify the hazards to workplace health and safety arising from work activities
• Assess the risks
• Determine and implement control measures to reduce risk
• Monitor and review the effectiveness of the control measures
IDENTIFYING HAZARDS
Prior to commencing work, all hazards related to the work tasks should be identified. The selection of the
appropriate work procedure(s) will depend on the type of work procedure(s) and hazards involved. Regular
safety inspections will also identify hazards and ensure that control measures are in place.
RISK ASSESSMENT
Risk assessment allows appropriate control measures to be developed. Once hazards have been
identified, they should be assessed in terms of their potential to do harm. To assess risk, consideration
should be given to probability and consequences. (SEE RISK ASSESSMENT SCORE CHART - Pg 9)
RISK CONTROL
Risk control is the process of eliminating or reducing risk factors. Control measures should be chosen and
implemented to eliminate or reduce risk as far as practicable. When deciding on the most appropriate
measures to use, practicality and acceptance of the control measures should be considered.
Safe Working Procedures will be developed for all high – medium risk hazards.
MONITOR AND REVIEW CONTROL MEASURES
The risk identification, assessment and control process requires regular monitoring to ensure the
implemented control measures perform as originally intended and continue to prevent or adequately
control the risk of injury or incident. Control measures should also be checked carefully to ensure that new
hazards are not created, directly or indirectly, by the original control measures.

Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have sufficient force to cause injury. Keep all hoses and
connections in good serviceable condition. Failure to heed may result in serious personal injury or death.
Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by
relieving the pressure before disconnecting lines or performing work on the system. Make sure hydraulic
fluid connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure
to the system. Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for suspected leaks. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems. DO NOT DELAY! If
an accident occurs, see a doctor familiar with this type of injury immediately. Any fluid injected into the
skin or eyes must be treated within a few hours or gangrene may result.
ENSURE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM IS FULLY PRIMED BEFORE USING
PRIMING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
• Fully extend and retract hydraulic cylinders.
• Repeat 3-4 times and hold lever extended each way for 10 to 15 seconds

REEL HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The reels on all K-Line rakes are sprung to give an even and balanced operating weight.
All reels on one wing can be adjusted up or down using the adjustment mechanism in figure 29.
WARNING - CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO LOWER THE REELS ONLY ENOUGH TO OPERATE MACHINE
CORRECTLY, AS DAMAGE WILL OCCUR WHEN MACHINE IS LOWERED EXCESSIVELY.
REMEMBER - FOR HEAVY SWATHS (E.G SILAGE), RAKING ABILITY IS INCREASED WHEN MACHINE
IS SET IN A NARROWER OPERATING POSITION.
