Risk assessment courses

The foundation you need to manage safety effectively

What is a risk assessment?

A health and safety risk assessment involves systematically identifying and analysing potential events that could adversely affect individuals, assets, or the environment. Upon identifying a hazard, a thorough analysis and evaluation are conducted to facilitate the implementation of measures aimed at either eliminating or minimising the associated risks.

Why a risk assessment is important for businesses?

Current working conditions are estimated to incur a substantial cost of £15 billion for injuries and ill health within organisations. Undertaking a health and safety risk assessment offers numerous advantages. It contributes to establishing a safe and secure environment for employees, visitors, and customers, ensuring the protection of people and assets from harm. Simultaneously, it reduces legal liability and enhances operational stability. The benefits of mitigating risks leads to savings across various aspects of your business, encompassing time, income, assets, property, and personnel.
