Providing managers and supervisors with a general background in the concept and importance of risk assessments.
Risk assessments are vital for protecting workers, businesses, as well as remaining compliant with the law. As a Manager, you have responsibilities for others and therefore need to focus on the risks that really matter in your workplace. These risks need to be prioritised and managed, especially the ones with the potential to cause harm. According to the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) "In many instances, straightforward measures can readily control risks, for example, ensuring spillages are cleaned up promptly so people do not slip or cupboard drawers kept closed to ensure people do not trip. For most, that means simple, and effective measures to ensure your most valuable asset - your workforce - is protected."
Definition of a Risk Assessment
A risk assessment is simply a careful examination of what, in your work, could cause harm to people, so that you can weigh up whether you have taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm. Workers and others have a right to be protected from harm caused by a failure to take reasonable control measures.
E-Learning for Managers
EssentialSkillz (a leading supplier of world-class online Health & Safety training and risk assessment software) offer a short course designed to introduce managers to the concept of risk assessments, why they are important and what their responsibilities are in regard to this area.
There are evidential financial, legal and ethical reasons why managers should be aware of and need to carry out appropriate risk assessments in their working environment. Effective management in this area will contribute to business success and reduce the risk of accidents and ill-health, plus all of the associated costs with these potential situations.
The online risk assessment course highlights the importance of recording and maintaining records. In the event of an accident or claim, the investigating authorities will want to know how employers are managing health and safety. They will demand to see and examine the corresponding risk assessment initially and also the procedures and controls in place.
