What Is the Process for Health and Safety Risk Assessment?

risk assessment
Conducting a Health and Safety risk assessment may appear challenging due to its extensive and detail-oriented nature. Risks can be widespread, sometimes camouflaged as everyday occurrences. To ensure compliance with relevant legislation, every risk and hazard must be thoroughly identified and documented.
Recording the risk is just one aspect of the process. It must be accompanied by an analysis of potential factors leading to exposure to the hazard, the possible outcomes of such exposure, and the recommended actions to address it.
Implementing the prescribed actions is the next crucial step, ensuring the safety of everyone involved. Regular reviews of these risk assessments are essential, particularly when environmental or equipment changes occur.
In the event of accidents, these assessments must be reevaluated as part of the accident investigation to ensure their continued relevance, and improvements should be made when necessary.
