About the course …

icTc‘s Risk Assessment services are designed to identify, evaluate, and control potential hazards in your workplace, ensuring a safer environment for your employees and a stronger foundation for your business operations.

A thorough risk assessment is the cornerstone of any effective health and safety management system. It helps in understanding the potential risks that could harm your employees, disrupt operations, or lead to financial and reputational damage.

Why Risk Assessment is Crucial?

Every workplace has its own set of risks and hazards, ranging from physical dangers like machinery and chemicals to less obvious threats such as ergonomic issues and workplace violence. Without a comprehensive risk assessment, these hazards can go unnoticed until an incident occurs.

Conducting regular risk assessments allows you to proactively identify and mitigate risks before they result in injury or damage, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and safeguarding your workforce.

Service Objectives

• Identify Hazards: Systematically identify all potential hazards in your workplace, considering all aspects of your operations.
• Evaluate Risks: Assess the likelihood and severity of each hazard to prioritise actions.
• Control Measures: Develop and implement effective control measures to eliminate or minimise risks.
• Compliance: Ensure your organisation, company, and hotels complies with relevant health, safety, and environmental regulations.
• Continuous Monitoring: Establish procedures for ongoing monitoring and review of risks and control measures.
•  

Key Components of the Risk Assessment Service

1. Hazard Identification

   • Conduct a thorough inspection of your workplace to identify potential hazards in every area of operations.

2. Risk Evaluation

   • Analyse the identified hazards to determine the likelihood of occurrence and the potential severity of their impact.
   • Use qualitative and quantitative methods to assess risks, depending on the complexity and nature of the hazards.
   • Prioritise risks based on their potential impact on health, safety, and business operations.

3. Control Measures

   • Develop a hierarchy of control measures to address the identified risks, starting with the most effective methods (elimination and substitution) and working down to administrative controls and personal protective equipment (PPE).
   • Implement engineering controls where possible, such as machine guards, ventilation systems, and ergonomic adjustments.
   • Establish safe work procedures and ensure that all employees are trained in their application.

4. Documentation and Reporting

6. Monitoring and Review

   • Conduct periodic audits and inspections to identify any new hazards or changes in existing risks.
   • Adjust the risk assessment and control measures as necessary to reflect changes in operations, equipment, or personnel.
