Introduction to Risk Assessment
Risk assessment is a systematic method of looking
at work activities and considering the things that
could cause significant harm to people, property or
the environment. The most important purpose of
risk assessments is to help prevent accidents and
ensure the safety of employees and anyone
affected by workplace activities. At the end of this
course, candidates will have an understanding of
what a risk assessment is and how to complete one. To achieve this
the course will define important terms, provide some basic background
information to explain how important risk assessments are and discuss
some of the legislation that applies. It will then go on to provide
practical advice on how to identify hazards and analyse risk before
finishing off by explaining the responsibilities of both employers and
employees with regards to risk assessment.
