Risk Assessment, Workplace 6
Risk Assessment, Workplace 6 : Carrying Out the Risk Assessment. What is a risk management? A workplace safety and health risk assessment is essentially a careful examination of what, in your work or business, could cause injury or ill health to people. It allows you to weigh up whether you have implemented enough risk control measures or should do more to prevent harm to those at risk, including workers and members of the public. The aim is to make sure that no one gets hurt or falls ill. A risk assessment involves identifying the hazards present in a business (whether arising from work activities or from other factors, for example the layout of the premises) and then weighing up the extent of the risks involved, taking into account existing control measures already in place to reduce the risks and deciding if you have to do more to ensure that no one is harmed. The results of a risk assessment should help employers choose which good practice measures, in the form of risk controls, are most appropriate. Workers and others have a right to be protected from harm caused by an employer
