Risk management involves you, the employer, looking at the risks that arise in the workplace and then putting sensible health and safety measures in place to control them.

By doing this you can protect your most valuable asset, your employees, as well as members of the public from harm. During 2017, 137 people were killed and over 609,000 were injured at work because of a failure to manage risk. 

On completion of this training you will be able to:

  • Define the meaning of the terms hazard, risk and risk assessment
  • Describe the legal requirements for risk assessment
  • Identify hazards and those who may be harmed
  • Describe the processes for the evaluation and control of risks
  • Describe the systems used to record, review and revise risk assessments

As an employer, the law requires you to assess and manage health and safety risks – for most businesses this is not difficult to do, you should adopt the Five Steps to Risk Assessment approach to help you.

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, HSE believe this method is the most straightforward for most organisations (source HSE).
