What is Risk Assessment?
It is a health and safety risk assessment that helps to identify hazards in the workplace and create control measures against the risks. The process involves identifying hazards and risk factors, analyzing and evaluating the likelihood of their occurrence, and determining ways to eliminate or control them.

A hazard is something that has the potential of causing harm to people, property, or the environment, while the risk is the likelihood of a hazard actually causing harm or damage under defined circumstances.

In this short video, we will explain the 4 key elements you will need to consider when planning your risk assessment and 4 basic steps on how to perform one.
