Course Overview
Risk assessment is a legal requirement. General risk assessments
are required under the Management Regulations 1999 and specific
risk assessments under other legislation such as the Manual
Handling Operations regulations 1992. This course aims to provide
delegates with the sufficient understanding, knowledge and
confidence to carry out initial risk assessments or review
existing assessments. The course ensures that all stages of
risk assessment are covered and practised accompanied by examples
of risk assessment documentation, procedures and policies to
aid delegate understanding.
