the major hazards that you found at the workplace and the associated hazard (this goes with Table 4) – for example, the noise from the noisy machine is a hazard and the associated work activity is operating the noisy machine.

For example, legal exposure to Noise is regulated by the Workplace Health & Safety Regulation, 2011: s. 56 + Prevention of Noise Code of Practice
the major risks that you found (this goes with Table 5) – this follows on from above. For example, the risk from operating a noisy machine is industrial deafness
