Risk Assessment (Level 2)

This Risk Assessment course will allow you to understand the dangers and risks associated with the workplace, as well as how to work safely and effectively to reduce work place accidents and near-misses.

Risk assessments are vital to the workplace so that any hazards and risks can be identified and recorded and measures put in place to make them as safe as possible, reducing the likelihood of accidents and near-misses that can have a significant effect on the persons and businesses involved.

A risk assessment is an in-depth and thorough study of hazards and risks in the workplace. It sets out what can go wrong, who will be affected, and how seriously they will be affected. In addition, it will give information on existing control measures and effectiveness and whether further action is needed.

Risk assessments are needed in the workplace to allow everyday tasks and those that are one-offs to be assessed in order to look at what could potentially go wrong and how dangerous any resulting incidents would be. They give the assessor opportunity to look at the safest way that the task can be done and what can be used or done to minimise injury or losses. In conducting and implementing risk assessments, employers are able to comply with health and safety legislation.

In order to accurately carry out risk assessments in the workplace, it is vital that you fully understand the organisation and what its principle functions, products, and services are so that the assessment can be accurate and relevant.

Risk assessments must be carried out in all organisations. By the end of the module, the learner will be able to:

• Explain what a risk assessment is
• Explain the purpose of risk assessments
• Explain the terms “risk”, “hazard”, and “control measure”.

Our aim is to provide you with the best deal available, therefore registration fee, certification fee and full tutor support is included in the course price.
