Workplace Risk Assessment Training Guide
A 38-slide training module on workplace risk assessment: spotting hazards, rating risk with a matrix and putting the right controls in place.
A structured training module that takes a learner through a workplace risk assessment in four moves — identify, evaluate, control, review — so that by the end they can complete, rate and review an assessment for a work activity.
What is inside
Foundations — key terms, hazard and risk, and why assessment matters.
Legal duties — reasonable practicability, regulations and penalties.
Conducting the assessment — the template, the process flow, and identifying hazards and harm.
Evaluating risk — severity, likelihood, the risk matrix and acceptability.
Controlling risk — the hierarchy of controls, additional measures, records and review.
One PDF in widescreen slide format.
Who it is for
Supervisors, line managers, HSE officers and safety representatives who write or review risk assessments, and trainers who need a ready session on the subject.
How to use it
Work through the five parts in order, then take one real task from your own workplace and assess it with the template and matrix shown. Present the slides as a toolbox or classroom session before asking a team to write its own assessments.
This is general training material. It does not replace the codes, standards and regulations that apply to your site, a competent person's design, or your own risk assessment. Legal duties, terms and penalties differ by country: check the legislation that applies where you work.
