GUIDANCE ON RISK ASSESSMENT AND RISK MANAGEMENT Added 25/9/06. This information updates s.36.3 in The Voluntary Sector Legal Handbook 2nd edition. The Health and Safety Executive has published a revised and simplified guide to risk assessment. Five Steps To Risk Assessment is available at www.hse.gov.uk/risk/fivesteps.htm. But as HSE says in their press release, "On its own paperwork never saved a life. It needs to be a means to an end, resulting in actions that protect people in practice." The guide ties in with HSE's revised key principles in risk management, urging employers to focus on real risks that cause real harm and suffering, rather than trivial risks. The principles are at www.hse.gov.uk/risk/principles.htm . |
