Risk Assessment Services Ireland
A Risk Assessment is the foundation of any effective health and safety management system. Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005, every Irish employer must identify the hazards in their workplace, assess the risks those hazards pose, and put measures in place to eliminate or control them. GR Training’s experienced H&S consultants carry out thorough, legally compliant risk assessments for businesses of all sizes across Ireland.
What is a Risk Assessment?
A Risk Assessment is a systematic examination of your workplace to identify anything that could cause harm to employees, contractors, visitors, or members of the public. It involves:
- Identifying hazards — anything with the potential to cause injury or ill health
- Evaluating risks — assessing the likelihood and severity of harm arising from each hazard
- Implementing controls — putting measures in place to eliminate or reduce the risk to an acceptable level
- Recording findings — documenting the assessment in a clear, accessible format
- Reviewing and updating — revisiting the assessment whenever circumstances change
A Risk Assessment is not a bureaucratic exercise — it is a practical tool that protects your employees, reduces insurance liability, and demonstrates your commitment to a safe workplace. The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) can inspect your premises at any time and will expect to see documented risk assessments.
Our Risk Assessment Process
GR Training’s consultants take a hands-on approach to risk assessment. We don’t send you a generic form to fill in — we come to your workplace, walk the site with you, and produce a detailed, bespoke document that accurately reflects your operations.
Our service includes:
- On-site workplace inspection by a qualified H&S consultant
- Identification of all significant hazards across your premises and activities
- Quantified risk ratings using a recognised risk matrix (likelihood × severity)
- Recommended control measures for each identified risk
- Written report in plain English — clear, concise, and immediately usable
- Advice on how to communicate findings to relevant employees
- A review schedule tailored to your business activities
Task-Specific and Activity-Specific Risk Assessments
Beyond a general workplace risk assessment, many activities require specific documented assessments. GR Training can prepare task-specific risk assessments for:
- Working at heights and use of ladders
- Manual handling operations
- Forklift and vehicle movements
- Use of hazardous substances (COSHH assessments)
- Display Screen Equipment (DSE/VDU) workstations
- Lone working and remote working
- Construction phase plans and method statements
