Course assessment
The course assessment can be taken as many times as necessary, with constructive feedback for any incorrect answers. It consists of 20 multiple choice questions that are taken from question banks. This means that each time the assessment is taken it will consist of different questions, so the training can be used for both initial and refresher training.

Your certificate will include the IIRSM Approved Training logo and the CPD logo, completion date and recommended renewal date. You can use your certificate to provide evidence for compliance.

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.
