Frequently Asked Questions

What is a risk assessment?

A risk assessment is a methodical process used to identify potential hazards in the workplace and assess the likelihood and severity of those hazards causing harm. It’s essentially a way of proactively evaluating risks to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone involved.

What are examples of risk assessment?

In an office environment this could be assessing the risk of slips and trips from trailing wires or cluttered walkways. On a construction site this could be evaluating the likelihood of falls from heights or injuries from heavy machinery. On a school playground it would be identifying hazards like uneven surfaces or faulty equipment that could cause injuries to children.

Can I create my own risk assessment?

You can create your own risk assessments, however there are things to consider in any case. Simple activities might not require a formal assessment and in some industries, regulations might mandate specific risk assessment formats.
