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.
