Risk Assessment training expands on the HSE five steps to risk assessment, making use of the HSE Research Report (RR151) “Good practice and pitfalls in risk assessment.” The first step is therefore expanded to include defining the scope of a risk assessment, as without this valuable step many risk assessments are misapplied or misunderstood by their end users. In line with the advice in RR151, this Risk Assessment online training encourages the person managing the risk assessment to involve a team, including employees with practical knowledge of the activity or process being assessed. In step 2, advice is given on how to produce consistent risk judgements across the organisation by using agreed definitions for “low”, “medium” and “high” ratings of severity and likelihood.

The Risk Assessment course explains how to select the most cost-effective and powerful risk controls, and provides advice on determining how often risk assessments should be reviewed.
