To the surprise of many asking the question ‘Who can do Risk Assessments?’, the HSE (GB) currently state that specific training or qualifications are not essential to carry out a risk assessment.
In many cases, as an employer or business owner, you will know the risks in your business best. This will mean that you are the competent person and can carry out the risk assessments yourself.
However, they do state that as an employer you must appoint someone who is competent, with the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to meet your health and safety duties.
Who can carry out a Risk Assessment?
It’s for this reason that we created our massively popular (and 100% Free) online Risk Assessment Training course.
Risk assessment is a step-by-step process for controlling health and safety risks caused by hazards in the workplace. Our Risk assessment training teaches you both what risk assessments are, as well as how and when to perform them.
