Workplace Risk Assessments
Risk assessments that identify what can actually hurt someone in your workplace and produce controls people can realistically follow.
Who this is for

Assessment
Onsite or remote assessment against your legal obligations and how work is actually performed.

FAQs
Risk Assessments questions we are asked
- How often should risk assessments be reviewed?
- At minimum when the work, the plant, the workplace or the people change, after an incident or near miss, when a control is found not to be working, and on a scheduled cycle set in your system. A risk assessment that has not been looked at since it was written is a document, not a control.
- Can you help our team write their own?
- Yes. Coaching supervisors to run a competent risk assessment is often more valuable long term than outsourcing every one of them to us.
