| The term ‘risk
assessment’ is all too familiar in business and applies
not only to health and safety but also to other business processes.
The Turnball report focused the minds of many businesses on
risk management, but while we may know that we must undertake
risk assessments in health and safety, there is often a lack
of knowledge and understanding on how to do it and what is
‘suitable and sufficient’.
Each chapter covers a key health and safety area and the
approach to risk assessment is outlined in a series of questions
– how, what, why, when? – and solutions and approaches
for understanding the legal requirement and how to implement
them.
References are made throughout to HSE approved codes of practice,
best practice guidance and industry specific guides. The book
is aimed at everyone from company directors through to someone
who needs to assume the ‘competent person’s role’
in undertaking health and safety responsibilities.
