  • What is a Risk Assessment

    In simple terms it's the process for determining the level of risk (good or bad) in relation to a thing. 


    That thing could be a piece of plant or equipment or an activity involving a variety of actions.


    In terms of safety, its how you determine the risks of harm associated with the work your business does and ways to minimise those risks from eventuating.

  • Do I have to conduct a Risk Assessment for everything

    No you don't need to conduct a risk assessment for everything. 


    In Australia, the laws say to eliminate hazards and if that is not reasonably practicable, to minimise the risks from the hazard. 


    This is often achieved through a risk management process which involves conducting a risk assessment. However if the risks are already known and control measures are effective then you don't need to do a risk assessment.
