Effective Risk Assessment

Increasingly, organisations are using supervisors and line managers to undertake risk assessments of their teams, equipment and properties. While this is an effective strategy there is often confusion about how the risk assessment should be completed and, more importantly, how any risks should be mitigated. Effective Risk Assessment has been written to address these concerns.

In just 30 minutes Effective Risk Assessment will help your employees understand the principles of good risk assessment, they will be able to apply effective techniques to complete these assessments quickly and with minimum disruption to their day-to-day role.

This is a modular program allowing your delegates to complete the course at their own pace. Effective Risk Assessment utilises engaging graphics, interactive sequences and tests and quizzes to ensure all delegates can evidence a thorough understanding of this subject.

On completion of Effective Risk Assessment delegates will be able to:

Understand the concept of hazard and risk.
Understand where hazards can arise, e.g. workplace, work equipment and human factors.
Understand the concepts of likelihood and severity.
Understand the purpose of identifying hazards and evaluating the associated risk.
Appreciate the assessment as the basis for control measures.
Understand the categories of control e.g. physical and administrative.

Introduction - Identifies to the delegate the concept of risk and explains why risks need to be assessed in a methodical way.
Key stages - Focuses on the theory of risk control and assessment and splits it into three key areas using an illustrated example of a fire incident.
Human factors - Emphasises the need to accommodate certain ‘human factors’ such as knowledge and experience, into the overall risk control process.
Risk assessment in practice - Provides a worked example of applying risk control strategies to a typical piece of office equipment. Your employee is then invited to undertake a number of interactive exercises to help them practice the identification of hazards, the control of hazards, and achieving a reduction in risk.
Summary - Brings together the key messages found in the earlier parts of the course, and summarises them into a clear set of key points.
