Risk Assessment: What does the Health and Safety Executive say?
A risk assessment is an important step in protecting your workers and your business, as well as complying with the law.
It helps you focus on the risks that really matter in your workplace – the ones with the potential to cause real harm.
In many instances straightforward and inexpensive measures can readily control risks, to ensure your most valuable assets are protected.
The law does not expect you to eliminate all risk, but you are required to reduce significant risk as far as ‘reasonably practicable’.
A risk assessment is simply a careful examination of what, in your work, could cause harm to people, so that you can weigh up whether you have taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm.
