WORKPLACE RISK ASSESSMENT

JRL Solutions Ltd carries out workplace risk assessment to help employers meet their obligations under legislation including the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 to carry out a suitable and sufficient assessment of risk. Workplace risk assessment must be carried out by a competent person.

Insufficient regard to workplace risk can result in the injury or ill health of employees and result in significant costs for employers.  

The purpose of a workplace risk assessment is to:-

• Identify significant hazards
• Identify persons at risk including specific persons at greater risk
• Evaluate risk in terms of likelihood and consequence, decide if risk is managed adequately and if not make recommendations to manage the risk better
• Record the significant findings
• Be reviewed at appropriate intervals

JRL Solutions Ltd collects evidence from observation, discussion, study of documentation and photographic record.
