Control Self Assessment (CSA) is a management tool designed to assist work teams to be more effective in achieving their objectives and managing their related risks.

CSA is a highly interactive and collaborative process that focuses on processes and issues important to a business or organization.

The CSA should include the people actually doing the work - not just those managing a process.

Control measures implemented must be reviewed and, if necessary, revised to make sure they work as planned.

There are situations where you must review your control measures, including:

• When the control measure is not effective, e.g., when an incident occurs
• Before a change that might lead to new or different risks the control may not cover
• If a new hazard or risk is identified
• If consultation results indicate a review is necessary
• If a Health and Safety Representative requests a review
