How Can Businesses Conduct an Effective Risk Assessment?
Conducting an effective risk assessment involves several steps:
Identify Hazards: Look for potential sources of harm in the workplace, such as machinery, chemicals, and ergonomic issues. Evaluate Risks: Assess the likelihood and severity of potential incidents resulting from these hazards. Implement Controls: Develop and implement measures to eliminate or reduce the risks, such as engineering controls, administrative controls, or PPE. Review and Monitor: Regularly review the risk assessment to ensure that controls are effective and update them as needed.
