Often people are worried about carrying out risk assessments because they feel that they are complicated and difficult to carry out.
This should not be the case. Carrying out a risk assessment should be straight forward. It’s about focussing on real risks and taking action to reduce them.
If you need help to carry out a risk assessment see the guidance on the Health and Safety Service web page at: https://staff.shu.ac.uk/healthandsafety/riskassess.asp
There are also training courses available. Details can also be found on the CORE Portal.
