Risk Assessment Workshop

This course looks at the role and importance of risk assessments in the workplace.

Course Attendees

This course is aimed at managers, supervisors, safety representatives or any other person with the responsibility of carrying out risk assessments. Whilst there are no prerequisites for delegates attending this course, a basic knowledge of general health and safety would be an advantage.

Course Background

Health and safety legislation demands that employers make a suitable and sufficient assessment of:

  • The risks to the health and safety of employees that they would be exposed to whilst they are at work
  • The risks to the health and safety of persons not in his employment

Those carrying out risk assessments must be competent to do so, and all assessments must be documented if there are five or more employees in the company. The results of these risk assessments must then be communicated to the relevant persons. For employers, method statements and safe working procedures are an important part of this communication process.

This course is highly interactive involving tutor presentations, group discussions, DVDs, practical projects, games and assessments.
