With a health and safety risk assessment, it becomes easier to identify whether you have any problems relating to health and safety and helps you creating a good working environment.
A health and safety risk assessment is an assessment of the working environment, and must cover both physical, mental, and social factors. The first step in the process is to identify areas that can be improved. Afterward, action plans must be developed, deciding how and when each issue will be addressed, as well as who has the responsibility. Finally, decisions must be made about how and when to follow up on whether the efforts implemented have the desired effect. In this way, the health and safety risk assessment become an important tool to ensure that the workplace conditions support employees in performing their work in a safe and health-conscious manner.
It is a legal requirement for all companies with employees to conduct a health and safety risk assessment at least every three years. However, this is an absolute minimum, which assumes that there are no changes in work tasks, methods, or processes. If changes occur that could affect the working environment, the company is obligated to revise the risk assessment.
