Online Risk Assessment Training Course

Overview

Assessing the risks present in your workplace is an essential part of any safety management system and can help to prevent your employees and the people on your premises from experiencing harm. This course provides an introduction to risk assessments, and will help you to understand how to write these assessments for your workplace and use them for risk management. This is important in order to protect your workforce and comply with health and safety law, such as the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

Recording your findings from a risk assessment is a legal requirement if you employ five or more people, but is strongly recommended for organisations of any size. A simple risk assessment template to help you do this is used as part of this course.

The learning outcomes for this online course include:

• Understanding key terms such as 'hazard', 'hazardous event' and 'risk'.
• Being able to define the terms 'likelihood' and 'consequence'.
• Understanding the risk matrix and assessment process.
• Understanding the benefits of carrying out risk assessments.

It takes approximately 60 minutes to complete the course in full. This can be spread out over multiple sessions or completed in a single session. There is no time limit for completion.

This course certificate has no expiry date because there is no formally recognised period of validity for any health and safety training or this type of course. The HSE recommends refresher training is carried out whenever it is felt necessary. Safety registration bodies such as CHAS, SafeContractor, ConstructionLine & SMAS and other members of the SSiP scheme recommend most re-training is done every 3 years. We would recommend refreshing knowledge as and when legislation or guidance changes applicable to these regulations.
