While we like to think there aren’t risks in business, there are. It’s a fact and they need to be considered and managed.
Many see risk assessments as confusing and time-consuming. They can get ignored ior are done inaccurately
In UK law, all organisations with 5 or more staff are required to carry out written health and safety risk assessments covering all significant hazards.
What is a health and safety risk assessment?
A risk assessment looks at:
- What could go wrong and to whom
- What control measures are in place
- What else could we do to reduce the risk to our employees and others
The HSE recommend a five step approach to risk assessment. This is:
- Identify the hazards
- Decide who might be harmed and how
- Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions
- Record your findings and implement them
- Review your assessment and update if necessary
Your Risk Assessment will identify, quantify, and then control risks.
Risk Assessment Method Statement (RAMS)
RAMS are sometimes referred to as safety method statements or safe system of work documents. RAMS are documents companies create after they conduct risk assessments. Risk Assessment Method Statement is a working guide to complete jobs and avoid the risks identified in the risk assessment.
C2 can will work with you to prepare a Risk Assessment and, where needed, your Risk Assessment Method Statement (RAMS).
