Risk Assessment Online Training

Do I need to carry out a risk assessment for all activities?

No, Only those activities that have the potential to cause harm must be risk assessed.  The requirement to undertake a risk assessment primarily comes from the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999, which require the employer to assess the “risk to the health and safety of their employees”, amongst others.  If there is no risk, then there is no requirement to undertake an assessment.  If you do have to carry out an assessment, then following the process of risk assessment in this training will get you up to speed very quickly.

What modules are offered in the training?

The training material is presented over eight separate modules, covering  key aspects of the risk assessment process.  The modules are:

• Module 1: The Basic
  This module will give a brief overview of the course and some of the key learning that will be covered.  It will emphasise the key objectives that each trainee should know at the end of the course, which are: what is a risk assessment? why are risk assessments important? and how to carry out a risk assessment?
