Risk Assessments
A risk assessment is a detailed examination of a particular work place or area, machine, department activity or work procedure. It seeks to ensure that every hazard is properly identified and that action is taken to either eliminate or substantially reduce risk levels associated with each hazard. The risk assessment is based on linking the likelihood of an occurrence with the severity of loss and/or injury.
