This practical course gives learners the knowledge and confidence to identify workplace hazards, evaluate risk and select proportionate controls. Learners complete a straightforward risk assessment based on a realistic workplace activity.
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require employers and the self-employed to complete suitable and sufficient assessments of risks to employees and others who may be affected. The course follows the HSE risk-management process: identify hazards, assess the risks, control the risks, record the findings and review the controls.

-
Understanding the purpose and benefits of risk assessment, the legal duties that apply and the difference between a hazard and a risk.

-
Deciding who may be harmed and how, including employees, contractors, visitors, members of the public and people who may require additional consideration.
