Thanks Tracker,
Normally a risk assessment is carried out in consultation with the workers involved and includes knowledge of the Industry standards and controls applicable to the hazard you are considering.
It you are a student get together with a few other students and / or persons from your work and select a hazard that you all would be exposed to regularly ( a good one is a chemical such as bleach and get a MSDS to guide you )
Go through the process from start to finish and see if the group work together as this is not an exact science and you may find that most people have trouble identifying what the hazard actually is.
