Risk Assessment
Why do you need risk assessment?
You must carry out and maintain regular risk assessments under health and safety law whether you are a big business, medium sized or small organisation. A properly conducted risk assessment helps minimise the possibility of your work activities harming the environment or those who work in, or visit, your organisation. The principle of risk assessment has become the cornerstone of health and safety management and when undertaken the results are incorporated into your action plan allowing you to risk manage the health and safety of your work activities. Carrying out risk assessments yourself can take time and some areas might require specialist knowledge. You may not be sure that the exercise is really complete and meets the requirements of the regulations.
