Risk assessments help organisations check up on safety issues, identify any problems and put control measures in place to resolve the situation. Without them there would no formal insight into what is happening out there in the field. These assessments cover all kinds of different areas. An assessment could be used to analyse safe driving for example, or the safety of office workers using computers each and every day.
Carrying out health and safety risk assessments takes time. Assessments have to be designed, distributed, returned and analysed. No wonder organisations often turn to external consultants to help them deliver on this aspect of health and safety. Risk assessments are a legal requirement. There’s no way around this. Companies neglect this aspect of safety at their peril. The HSE has the power to issue fines for non compliance. Individual workers involved in an accident could sue for damages if the company is found to be negligent in this area.
