Risk Assessment
An effective risk assessment system is at the heart of all good health and safety programmes.
Every employer is under a statutory duty to arrange for a ‘competent person’ to assess all risks in the workplace or those created by work activities. Some risks are of a general nature, but others need to be considered against more specialised legislation. As well as general risk, assessments are required under specific legislation controlling hazardous substances, noise, manual handling and display screens.
The selection and implementation of the most appropriate risk control measure is a crucial part of health and safety management and the assessor requires competence and experience as this will determine the success or otherwise of the process.
All assessments should be recorded where more than 5 people are employed and should be reviewed at appropriate intervals.
Turner Safety can complete your programme of risk assessments on your behalf. Alternatively we can assist, advise and provide training that allows you to effectively complete the programme. Our qualified consultants have vast experience across a wide range of industry, commerce and the public sector and our recording and management systems can be adopted and integrated into your own systems and procedures.
