- Identify the hazardsLook for anything that could cause harm: tasks, equipment, substances, layout and working patterns.
- Decide who might be harmed and howInclude staff, visitors, contractors and people at higher risk, such as new or young workers.
- Evaluate the risks and decide on precautionsCompare what you already do with good practice and add controls where needed.
- Record your significant findingsWrite down the hazards, who is at risk and the controls. Required if you have five or more employees.
- Review and updateRevisit after changes, incidents or near misses, and at regular intervals.
Risk assessment and the law
