Risk Assessment Training Course

This online Risk Assessment Training course provides essential knowledge on conducting a thorough risk assessment for your workplace. Due to the nature of business, changes can happen regularly, and with the development of a business can come a new set of risks and hazards. Therefore, it is highly important that you maintain an up-to-date risk assessment. Doing so will allow you to put safety measures in place to help protect yourself, your employees, or members of the public.

This course will guide you through the five steps to a risk assessment and how to apply these steps to your establishment. It looks at the legal duties and responsibilities you hold as an employee and how this relates to a risk assessment.

Being able to identify hazards and risks in your workplace puts you in an advantageous position in protecting the health and safety of others. Accidents do occur, but it is your responsibility as an employer to ensure that you have included all precautionary measures to prevent any risk to health. A risk assessment is a useful tool to help you analyse your workplace and highlight any areas that may cause concern regarding hazards or risk.
