What is a Risk Assessment?

In very general terms, a risk assessment is where a task or action is studied to determine what hazards may occur,

who could possibly be harmed and how they may be harmed, as well as what current or proposed steps are

being and should be taken to reduce any risks. In addition the person or persons responsible for the actions

are noted.The UK Health and Safety Executive require all employers to carry out a risk assessment, and importantly,

employers with 5 or more employees are required to record their risk assessments.

Our Method Statement and Risk Assessment Pack contains some worked examples

from very basic to more advancedassessments,as well as blank templates in

MS Word format for easy editing. The risk assessment example below assesses

the risks of Slips trips and falls,work at height etc..
