This leaflet aims to help you assess health and safety risks in
the workplace
A risk assessment is an important step in protecting your workers and your
business, as well as complying with the law. It helps you focus on the risks that
really matter in your workplace – the ones with the potential to cause real harm.
In many instances, straightforward measures can readily control risks, for example
ensuring spillages are cleaned up promptly so people do not slip, or cupboard
drawers are kept closed to ensure people do not trip. For most, that means simple,
cheap and effective measures to ensure your most valuable asset – your workforce
– is protected.
The law does not expect you to eliminate all risk, but you are required to protect
people as far as ‘reasonably practicable’. This guide tells you how to achieve that
with a minimum of fuss.
This is not the only way to do a risk assessment, there are other methods that
work well, particularly for more complex risks and circumstances. However, we
believe this method is the most straightforward for most organisations.
What is risk assessment?
A risk assessment is simply a careful examination of what, in your work, could
cause harm to people, so that you can weigh up whether you have taken enough
precautions or should do more to prevent harm. Workers and others have a right to
be protected from harm caused by a failure to take reasonable control measures.
Accidents and ill health can ruin lives and affect your business too if output is lost,
machinery is damaged, insurance costs increase or you have to go to court. You
are legally required to assess the risks in your workplace so that you put in place a
plan to control the risks.
