Dynamic risk assessment is the continuing assessment of risk in a rapidly changing environment at an incident. It is a process of quickly determining the nature of the risk and what the response should be. It confirms the response is appropriate by taking into account the benefit and risk. This assessment should determine the reasonably practicable measures which should be taken to manage the risk.
The person undertaking the assessment must also apply the statutory requirements for risk assessment, which will assist the incident commander in making informed decisions.
