The need for effective health and safety risk management
There can be a perception within some organisations that health and safety risk management is just another hurdle in the way of getting on with running the business. In fact, it’s exactly the opposite:
it’s an excellent way of helping them get on with running their organisation – the way they want, safe in the knowledge they’re doing that as safely as they can.
Implementing Health and safety risk assessments are a great way for an organisation to demonstrate that it has taken all reasonable steps and due care to reduce the chances of an incident.
A risk assessment in health and safety provides documented evidence that an organisation has considered its health and safety risk management carefully and taken steps to reduce them. In the past, organisations have successfully used evidence of effective health and safety risk management and health and safety risk assessments to defend claims.
The long-term cost saving and peace of mind of effective health and safety risk management can be invaluable to any organisation.
