Risk Assessment in Workplaces

Risk assessment in workplaces is a systematic process of identifying potential hazards that could cause harm to employees or others, evaluating how likely these hazards are to occur, and determining the severity of their impact. The goal is to understand the risks involved so that effective measures can be implemented to prevent accidents or injuries. It involves inspecting the workplace, considering existing controls, and deciding on additional safety steps if needed. Regular risk assessments help ensure a safe working environment, compliance with safety regulations, and the well-being of everyone present.
