Frequently Asked Questions
What is a risk assessment?
A risk assessment is an important way to proactively manage and mitigate the risks present in your workplace. It involves the identification, evaluation, and mitigation of hazards that employees may face.
A thorough risk assessment should include not only what risks are present, but how they are controlled for. Employers should conduct risk assessments for their workplace on a regular basis to maintain health and safety.
What is workplace health and safety?
Workplace health and safety is the critical process of managing risks in your workplace. This involves mitigating anything that could potentially harm your staff, customers, visitors, or vendors.
Managing workplace health and safety may mean investing in things like safety equipment, proper signage, or staff training. You’ll want to keep your facilities clean and implement appropriate policies and procedures to protect all who work for you or with you.
How to do a risk assessment?
To conduct a risk assessment in your workplace, first start by identifying all the potential hazards someone may be exposed to. You may start by walking through your worksite and off-site locations. You may want to review policies and procedures. Talk with employees and relevant unions for their feedback. Some companies even work with a professional to identify hazards that they may overlook.
From here, assess the risk that each hazard poses and its implications. Then, develop plans to mitigate those risks through things like safety training, equipment, or control measures. Repeat this process regularly to keep your workplace safe.
