Risk Management Systems
Risk assessments are required by law. Regulation 3 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regs 1999 (as amended) requires every employer to make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to-
Own employees
-
Persons not in his employment, arising out of or in connection with the conduct by him of his undertaking
Further requirements to review and revise where necessary are also mandated in the above regulations as is the need to record significant findings where an employer has 5 or more employees.
The law goes even further by mandating an employer under regulation 4 of the above to implement any preventative and protective measures on the basis of the principles specified in schedule 1 of those regulations.
In other words, an employer cannot simply document a risk assessment without ensuring any risk control measures have been implemented and that management procedures are in place to sustain these procedures.

We will work with you to enhance your predictive risk assessment into dynamic risk assessments, covering specific tasks and risk, tailored to your company.
