What is a Risk Assessment?
In essence, a risk assessment involves the comprehensive process of identifying and analyzing potential events that could adversely affect individuals, assets, or the environment. It also entails making informed judgments about the tolerability of these risks based on a thorough risk analysis.

Why You Need a Risk Assessment?
As an employer, it is not only a legal obligation but also a fundamental responsibility to safeguard your employees and others from potential harm. The law mandates conducting a 'suitable and sufficient assessment' of risks related to both the health and safety of your employees and any risks posed to individuals not under your employment but affected by your work. Governed by the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, your minimum obligation involves:
-
Identifying hazards,
-
Evaluating the likelihood and severity of potential harm (the risk),
-
Taking decisive actions to either eliminate the hazard or, if not feasible, control the risk.
Risk assessment stands as a crucial component within the broader framework of managing and controlling risks in your workplace.
