Risk assessment

What is a risk assessment, and why do you have to complete one?

A risk assessment allows you to consider whether or not you have taken the correct precautions to protect yourself, your staff, participants, the general public and/or any property belonging to those parties from any harm as a result of your activities.

What you have to do

You will need to assess all of your activities and complete the following steps:

  1. Identify any hazards/risks.
  2. Identify who might be at risk.
  3. Evaluate hazards/risks and what you wil do to minimise these.
  4. Record your findings.
