Risk assessment
A hazard is something that can cause you harm such as an injury, this could be chemicals, terrorist attacks,
electricity or food. A risk is then the result of the hazard and the likelihood that any hazard will actually cause you
harm, for example the risk is that you will get an electric shock from putting your phone on charge, however this is
unlikely.
Risk assessments are important as they help in identifying risks which also helps in then reducing the likelihood of
them happening, this will ensure that everyone is safe and doesn’t get hurt. Due to risk assessments measures are
also put into place to ensure that everyone is constantly safe rather than only when the risk assessment is taking
place, this is a legal requirement and also a moral obligation. When completing risk assessments, it is useful to
allocate people with roles and responsibilities as this will ensure that in the case of an incident everyone knows
exactly what to do and therefore everything will be done quicker and the risk of someone getting hurt is
decreased.
