Risk Assessments
The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act, 2005, requires that employers carry out an identification of their workplace hazards and an assessment of the risks posed by those hazards.
The ultimate goal of hazard identification and risk assessment is to devise and implement appropriate controls to ensure in so far as is reasonably practicable, that the risks are reduced to an acceptable level. ASTS can guide management through the risk assessment process from identification of hazards to risk controls. We can help in all aspects of hazard and risk management from procedures to training to monitoring and review.
Conducting regular risk assessments may cost more in the short term, as you spend money to improve conditions, but you will protect yourself from the risk of fines or being sued by an employee or member of the public.
We will show you how to make risk management more effective helping you comply with the law and by reducing the likelihood of injury thus improving the efficiency of work which makes good business sense.
