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; and, 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.
