I2Comply Risk Assessment training will make you aware of the need for risk assessments in the workplace and the essential steps in carrying out an effective risk assessment. The course is designed to help employers and self-employed workers meet their legal duties under health and safety legislation. This training course is suitable for all workplace environments and ensures that your organisation complies with the Management of Health and Safety Regulations 1999.
With 561,000 UK workers sustaining an injury at work in 2022/23, employers must assess and control the health and safety risks in the workplace. This is a legal requirement, and is also an essential part of establishing and maintaining effective health and safety measures in the workplace.
The approximate duration of our online risk assessment course is 2 hours.
Why do we need risk assessments in the workplace?
Risk assessments are crucial to prevent accidents and injuries in the workplace, and they help save lives. Employers have a legal requirement to assess and control health and safety risks in the workplace. Therefore by identifying the hazards, you can then eliminate or reduce the risk they pose to your workforce. Most injuries can be avoided if suitable health and safety controls are put in place to minimise the risks posed by workplace hazards.
Who should complete an online Risk Assessment course?
This online risk assessment course is suitable for anyone who has the responsibility for conducting risk assessments in their workplace. Risk assessments should be carried out by a competent person – someone with the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to manage risk and hazards in all areas of the business.
After completing the online Risk Assessment training course, you will be able to describe:
- The purpose of a risk assessment
- When risk assessments are necessary
- What is meant by the terms hazard and risk, and the relationship between them
- Reducing risk to as low as reasonably possible (ALARP)
- The 5 principal steps in a typical risk assessment
- How to conduct a successful risk assessment
