Risk Assessments are an essential part of a successful health and safety management systems. Under the Health and Safety at Work etc, Act 1974 there is an express duty on employers to ensure that risks to their employees and others affected are as low as is reasonably practicable. As a planning aid risk assessments assist in defining what hazards exist around your undertakings, the risks represented by these hazards and the precautions or controls that need to be taken to protect against those risks. The Draft Risk Assessment Policy and Management Guide v3.0 deals with the most common safety issues found at the majority of workplaces to help you ensure a safe working environment and comply with legislation.
The draft policy covers topics including:
- Conducting risk assessments
- Implementation of recommended controls
- Employee information and training
- Hazard indentification
- Recording and reviewing of risk assessments
The draft policy also comes with a 43-page Management Guide containing helpful notes on the policy, including seven appendices of sample forms, hazard lists and guidance.
