What is a risk assessment?

A risk assessment is simply a careful examination of the workplace, identifying what could cause harm to us and others.

We then make a risk evaluation of whether the controls and precautions we and you have in place are adequate.

Five steps together

Step 1: Identify the hazards

Step 2: Decide who might be harmed and how

Step 3: Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions/controls

Step 4: Implement the controls and record our findings and actions

Step 5: Review our assessments regularly or when there is a significant change in the risk
