Course contents
This training course is broken down into 3 sections
- 1Hazards and Risks
- 2The 5 Steps to Risk Assessment
- 3Risk Assessment Tool
Section 1
In this first section, we define what risks and hazards are and look at how risk can depend on many things. Risk Assessments may NOT always be necessary, so we explain how you decide whether one IS needed and when you need to do risk assessments again.
Section 2
This section explains exactly how to do a risk assessment using a simple 5 step process. It takes you through each column of a standard risk assessment form explaining what should go into that column and how to fill it in. It gives examples and explains how to organise a plan of action to deal with hazards you find.
Section 3
This is a simple-to-use interactive tool which can be used to create your own Risk Assessments. It uses short summary reminders from section 3 to help you fill out each column of the risk assessment form. Your risk assessments are saved and can be accessed either from within this programme or directly through the LMS. Get this tool for free! Head over to My Risk Assessment to get this tool for free.

General basic comprehension of the necessity of risk assessments.
All basic information provided of the requirement of risk assessments, maybe a little more emphasis could be included with regard to employees also being responsible for their assistance with enforcing prevention?

It really is common sense … but humans don't always think like that
Really useful structure for assessing hazards, risks and control measures. Gives practical advice without labouring the point or trying to boil the ocean
Good content until it came to the test
The course was quite helpful and offered good content. Then came the test and after getting 14 out of fourteen correct got the fifteenth question wrong. It then goes back to beginning of course and starts the whole course again which not very helpful. It then included some questions not covered in the syllabus content which is a bit frustrating.
Good training
Well presented.
Very Informative
Really useful and informative – Thank You.
Why is this training important?
Compliance
It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
Risk Assessments provide a structured way of looking at risks and help create a plan of action to deal with them. Whatever the size of your company, you are legally obliged to assess the risks. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require Risk Assessments to be completed by all employers and self-employed people.
Every employer shall make a suitable and sufficient assessment of – (a) the risks to the health and safety of his employees to which they are exposed whilst they are at work; and (b) the risks to the health and safety of persons not in his employment arising out of or in connection with the conduct by him of his undertaking.
Risk Assessment training is a crucial part of ensuring that your employees are constantly up to date with the changing risks associated with their work. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 also stipulate that, “any assessment […] shall be reviewed by the employer or self-employed person who made it if –
(a) there is a reason to suspect that it is no longer valid; or
(b) there has been a significant change in the matters to which it relates; and where as a result of any such review changes to an assessment are required, the employer or self-employed person concerned shall make them.”
