The 5 steps to risk assessment
The structured approach our courses follow.
- 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
- Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999Regulation 3 requires a suitable and sufficient assessment of risks. Employers with five or more employees must record the significant findings.
- Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974Sets the general duty to protect employees and others, so far as is reasonably practicable.
- Topic-specific regulationsCOSHH, manual handling, fire safety and work at height rules each require their own risk assessment.
