Online Risk Assessment Course I2Comply Risk Assessment training will make you aware of the need for risk assessments in the workplace and the essential steps in carrying out an effective risk assessment. The course is designed to help employers and self-employed workers meet their legal duties under health and safety legislation. This training course is suitable for all workplace environments and ensures that your organisation complies with the Management of Health and Safety Regulations 1999. With over 565,000 UK workers sustaining an injury at work in 2021/22, employers must assess and control the health and safety risks in the workplace. This is a legal requirement, and is also an essential part of establishing and maintaining effective health and safety measures in the workplace. Why do we need risk assessments in the workplace? Risk assessments are crucial to prevent accidents and injuries in the workplace, and they help save lives. Employers have a legal requirement to assess and control health and safety risks in the workplace. Therefore by identifying the hazards, you can then eliminate or reduce the risk they pose to your workforce. Most injuries can be avoided if suitable health and safety controls are put in place to minimise the risks posed by workplace hazards. All of our courses conform to the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) guidelines. The CPD Certification Service has accredited this Risk Assessment training.
