Risk assessments solved in 5 steps
The importance of businesses carrying out risk assessments cannot be underestimated. Figures from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reveal that 220 people were killed and more than 150,000 injured in accidents which could have been avoided if the risks were properly managed.
Performing a risk assessment is more than a simple bureaucratic exercise, the organisation claims, and help to ensure that employees and members of the public are not subjected to harm, suggesting the importance of resources such as Risk Assessment Booklets and the Health & Safety at Work Poster.
Business Link's website explains: "A risk assessment is an important tool in protecting your workers and your business. It helps you focus on those risks that have the potential to cause harm."
In order to ensure companies carry out an effective risk assessment, which is a legal requirement for companies with more than five employees, the HSE recommends five steps are carried out, all of which are covered in detail in the 5 Steps - Risk Assessment DVD.
The first vital ris assessment step is for employers to identify any hazards that may be present in the workplace, a process which can be aided by the use of Risk Assessment Forms.
According to the HSE, managers should start by touring the work environment in search of anything which could be expected to result in harm, while asking members of staff or their health and safety representatives may bring unnoticed things to their attention.
In addition, reviewing accident and ill-health records could result in possible risks being identified, as can checking instructions or data sheets for equipment and chemicals.
