Risk assessment

Risk assessment is a critical activity to help protect workers and others who come into contact with your organisation’s activities, as well as complying with the law. An effective risk assessment will focus on the risks that really matter and provide the starting point for controlling them. The requirement for risk assessment is a legal requirement; the Management of Health and Safety at Work regulations state that a workplace risk assessment must be 'suitable and sufficient’. 

Duration

This is a half day workshop. The programme can be extended to a full day to allow delegates to carry out a range of real risk assessments and receive further coaching on how to improve their practice.

Who should attend?

The workshop is ideal for supervisors, line managers and safety representatives who may be required to carry out workplace risk assessments. It is ideal for staff new to the line manager’s role or to existing staff who would like to improve or refresh their skills. 

What will you learn?

The main areas covered by this workshop are: 
  • understanding the terminology of risk assessment
  • applying hazard identification techniques
  • applying risk estimation processes and techniques
  • understanding control measures and checking that they are working, and
  • bow tie risk assessments

The workshop content will focus on practical application of theory and, wherever possible, risk assessments generated by the delegates can then form part of your suite of risk assessments (subject to review and approval by your safety specialist). We focus on applying the bow tie risk assessment method using our practical resources. The benefits arising from this workshop include: 
  • understanding why it is important to assess risks in a structured way
  • techniques for assessing and recording risks, and
  • develop confidence.
