Risk Assessment
A risk assessment is not about creating huge amounts of paperwork , but rather about identifying sensible measures to control the risks in your workplace.
RISK ASSESSMENT
Risk management is about taking practical steps to protect people from real harm and suffering - not bureaucratic back covering.
Taking a sensible approach to risk management is about:
-
ensuring that workers and the public are properly protected
-
enabling innovation and learning not stifling them
-
ensuring that those who create risks manage them responsibly and understand that failure to manage significant risks responsibly is likely to lead to robust action
-
providing overall benefit to society by balancing benefits and risks, with a focus on reducing significant risks - both those which arise more often and those with serious consequences
-
enabling individuals to understand that as well as the right to protection, they also have to exercise responsibility
-
when talking about harm remember this could be physical or mental
