Health and Safety at Work & Risk Control focuses on identifying workplace hazards, assessing risks, and applying control measures to prevent accidents, injuries, and work-related ill health.
Risk assessment helps organisations identify potential dangers early, reduce accidents, comply with legal duties, and create a safer working environment for employees and visitors.
Employers hold primary responsibility for health and safety, while employees must follow safety procedures, use equipment correctly, and report hazards or incidents promptly.
Common hazards include slips and trips, manual handling injuries, electrical risks, fire hazards, exposure to harmful substances, poor ergonomics, and unsafe work equipment.
Risk control measures include eliminating hazards, substituting safer alternatives, engineering controls, safe systems of work, staff training, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
