What Is Risk Assessment?
Risk assessment is a fundamental part of workplace health and safety management.
A risk assessment involves identifying hazards that could cause harm, evaluating the risks associated with those hazards and implementing appropriate control measures to reduce the likelihood of injury or illness.
Employers must ensure that risks are reduced so far as is reasonably practicable and that risk assessments are reviewed regularly or when workplace activities change.
Effective risk assessments help organisations prevent accidents, protect employees and maintain compliance with workplace health and safety legislation.
Why Risk Assessment Training Is Important
Providing risk assessment training ensures employees responsible for completing risk assessments understand how to carry out the process properly.
Without appropriate training, risk assessments may be incomplete or fail to identify important hazards. This can result in ineffective control measures and increased risk in the workplace.
Risk assessment training helps employees understand how to identify hazards, evaluate risk levels, apply appropriate control measures and review risk assessments when circumstances change.
Training employees in risk assessment also supports the development of a strong positive health and safety culture within the organisation.
Who Should Attend Risk Assessment Training?
This Risk Assessment Training Course is suitable for employees who are responsible for carrying out or reviewing workplace risk assessments.
Typical delegates include health and safety officers, supervisors and team leaders, managers responsible for workplace safety, safety representatives and employees responsible for completing departmental risk assessments.
The course is suitable for organisations across a wide range of industries including construction, manufacturing, engineering, utilities, facilities management, healthcare and the public sector.
What Will You Learn?
This Practical Risk Assessment Training Course provides a clear understanding of the risk assessment process and how it should be applied in the workplace.

Participants will also take part in practical exercises, enabling them to apply what they have learned and develop confidence in completing risk assessments.
Practical Risk Assessment Exercises
A key feature of the course is the practical risk assessment exercise.
