legal requirement for any employer and must be documented.
A suitable and sufficient risk assessment must be carried out before a particular
activity or task being carried out to eliminate, reduce or suitably control any
associated risk to the health, safety and wellbeing of persons involved with the task
but management fails to do the same.
Once completed a risk assessment should be reviewed periodically and, in any
case, when either the current assessment is no longer valid and if at any stage there
have been significant changes to the specific activity or task.
There is also a near-miss incident and following by an accident previously in the
company, but Risk assessment is not reviewed, risk assessments should be reviewed
following an accident, incident, or ill-health event in order to verify if the control
measures and level of evaluated risk where appropriate or require amendment.
