Assessing Risks Training Summary:

Assessing risks is often overseen by employees and employers. There will be risk assessments in all businesses and you should take some time to find out what risk assessments are in place in your workplace. Individual assessments are done on all tasks. Look at what is being done and factors like weights, frequency, twisting, heights, person's ability, medical conditions etc. Risk assessments need to be updated regularly. It is the employee's responsibility to follow and comply with risk assessments.

This course covers general manual handling recommendations laid down by the HSE Manual Handling Regulations 1992, but you MUST check your workplace protocols and practices. Every business conducts its own risk assessments. If in doubt, ask your manager/employer to find out what the exact rules are in your place of work.
