Risk Assessment

Who Should Attend?

Employers are obligated to thoroughly analyse and document these workplace-related risks, along with the corresponding mitigation strategies. Essentially, the process of risk assessment entails a comprehensive examination of all factors in the workplace that have the potential to inflict harm upon employees, co-workers, and external individuals such as customers, visitors, and the general public. This systematic evaluation enables the determination of the level of risk associated with each hazard, facilitating the decision-making process regarding whether the risk is tolerable or if further precautions are necessary to avert potential harm.

 

Service Review

Employers must put into effect any enhancements deemed essential based on the outcomes of the risk assessment. The objective is to guarantee the prevention of injuries and illnesses.

 

Nonetheless, it’s crucial to bear in mind that while recognizing hazards and evaluating risks, employers should solely focus on those arising from work-related tasks. There’s no requirement to contemplate every trivial hazard or risk that we naturally encounter in our daily lives.

 

The conclusions drawn from any conducted risk assessments must be documented within the Safety Statement (as per HSA guidelines).
