Frequently Asked Questions
What is a risk assessment?
A risk assessment is a systematic process of identifying hazards, evaluating the likelihood and severity of harm, and determining control measures to reduce risk. Under UK law (Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999), employers with 5 or more employees must record their risk assessments in writing. In the US, OSHA requires hazard assessments for specific industries.
Who needs to carry out a risk assessment?
In the UK, all employers and self-employed people must carry out risk assessments. Businesses with 5+ employees must record findings. In the US, OSHA requires employers to assess workplace hazards in construction, shipbuilding, and longshoring at a minimum. Most industries follow OSHA General Duty Clause requirements even without sector-specific rules.
How often should a risk assessment be reviewed?
Risk assessments should be reviewed when the work process changes, after an accident or near miss, when new equipment or substances are introduced, or at least annually for high-risk activities. Low-risk, stable environments can be reviewed every 2-3 years.
Is this tool a substitute for a qualified health and safety professional?
No. This tool generates template risk assessments for guidance only. For high-risk activities, hazardous substances, or complex work environments, you should work with a qualified health and safety professional (e.g. CMIOSH, CSP). This output should be reviewed and signed off by a competent person.
