Five steps to risk assessment
October 1st 2008 Risk assessments are the
responsibility of everybody
working in an organisation,
not just the health and
safety manager, and
employees have a legal
responsibility to
cooperate with their
employer's efforts to
improve health and
safety and to look out
for each other.
An interactive DVD
from Safety Media
takes a different
approach to risk
assessment training to
ensure staff become
interested and involved.
The DVD 5 steps - Risk
Assessment in your
Workplace is described as
a fun-to-use, interactive
DVD that portrays a series
of potentially hazardous
scenarios and invites the
viewer to choose the
correct solution by pressing
a button on their remote
control. Safety Media
believes that by becoming
actively involved, viewers
are more likely to retain the
information and less likely
to let their attention wander.
The 5 steps covered by
the DVD closely follow HSE
guidance.
Step 1 Identify
potential hazards in the
workplace.
Step 2 Decide who
might be at risk of harm
and how.
Step 3 Evaluate risks
and decide precautions.
Step 4 Record findings
and implement them.
Step 5 Review risk
assessments regularly and
update them if necessary.
The DVD costs £139 (plus
P&P and VAT). This includes
10 risk assessment training
booklets and 50 forms. More articles from Safety Media Ltd: |
