Practical Risk Assessment

We are all required by current legislation to conduct risk assessments within the workplace. The legislation also states that the individual carrying out the assessment must be a competent person, which means understanding the process being assessed, and also capable of conducting a risk assessment. This one day practical programme allows the delegates to understand the principles of risk assessment before taking part in a risk assessment workshop in the workplace under the expert supervision of our trainers. (Please note a maximum of 12 delegates per programme.)

All programmes can be tailored specifically to the needs of your organisation.
