ABSTRACT

Up until now, this has been an auditing process to identify just where you are at the moment in relation to health, safety and fire risks. You have plans of the site and premises, and a range of checklists to identify how well you are controlling risks in the workplace by:

Identifying health, safety and fire hazards in each area of the business.

Identifying the people likely to be injured or harmed by these hazards, plus any individuals or groups of people that may be particularly vulnerable.

Assessing the potential risks to workers and others who could be on site at any particular time.

Reviewing existing controls that are in place to reduce the risks, and identifying further control measures that may be necessary.
