Risk Assessments

If you employ five or more people you must record your significant findings and communicate them to your staff.  A risk assessment involves the identification of significant hazards present in any working environment or arising out of commercial activities or work activities.  It evaluates the extent of the risks involved, taking into account existing precautions and their effectiveness. The underlying objective is to identify where potential problems and dangers lie and to ensure that risks are eliminated or controlled and that as a consequence no one gets hurt or becomes ill.
