Workplace Risk Assessment - ntroduction & Legal Requirement

It is a legal requirement to undertake a systematic assessment of all risks (except where trivial) to employees. This is the key to identifying, eliminating or reducing all risks as outlined in The Safety Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005

A risk factor can be identified as any aspect of work, which potentially exposes the worker to risk of ill-health. The accurate identification of work-related risk factors plays a vital role in the control and prevention of work-related disease and disorder.
