About the workshop
How do you conduct a health and safety risk assessment? Using a workplace hazard chosen by the group as an example, this short workshop will take you through the practical steps needed to ensure that hazards are properly assessed and evaluated; and that you are meeting your legal duties towards others (including the public). It is aimed at anyone responsible for health and safety within their organisation.
