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.
