Description
Risk assessment is the key to successful management of health and safety at work. Risk assessments are carried out in order to quantify
and evaluate the significance of workplace hazards so that appropriate control measures can be put in place.
Usually, a written record
of the assessment is required, detailing the following information:
* The hazards – and how much risk is associated.
* The risk – with
appropriate control measures.
* Deadlines – to follow-up the risk assessment to ensure the risk is managed.
Failure to carry out risk
assessments – punishable by law – is often due to lack of a suitable risk assessment system. Tolley?s Risk Assessment Workbook – Manufacturing
provides that system, both in the form of key background information on how to carry out a risk assessment – understanding relevant legislation
and regulations – but most importantly by providing:
* Checklists – highlighting key industry-specific hazards and control measures.
* Questionnaires – highlighting key questions the risk assessor should ask when analysing the risk posed by the hazard.
* Action Plans – to ensure the risk assessment is followed up and completed.
The Workbook offers a practical risk assessment system: it shows you how
to comply with the law and gives you the foundations of a logical procedure that can be understood easily, put into placed quickly where
necessary and adapted to your organisation?s needs.
Tolley?s Risk Assessment Workbooks is a series of practical Workbooks providing
you with all the information you need to conduct risk assessments in industry-specific areas including: Retail, Leisure, Education, Offices,
Construction, and Utilities. A special Risk Assessment Workbook on Stress has also been developed in order to facilitate management of
this issue which is of key concern to all organisations.
Audience
Health and safety professionals, managers and directors of small to medium-sized companies.
